Many gamedevs have been designing their games with the expectation that players will reach out to others online for help in solving a part they find difficult. It’s a way of bringing people together and keeping the game relevant. So if you feel you’ll be having more fun searching for info online than discovering a game’s many secrets on your own, go ahead. Just have fun and let others have fun as well.

I was originally interested in FBCF, but not being an always online game and even less at that price. If they wanted less risk they should’ve given players better options on how to buy and play their game.

My man. 👌

So good to know! Thanks!

Love them all. Amazing games, each with it’s own neat peculiarities.

That’s easy to say now, but BG3 wasn’t getting much attention during it’s early access and other CRPGs like the Pathfinder games weren’t that popular either. BG3 has been a phenomenon for a multitude of reasons, so saying developers stopped making games like BG3 isn’t too precise either. The only game that gets close to BG3 in both features and praise is Divinity: Original Sin 2, which was also made by Larian.

Didn’t bother. I’m already too regretful about the games I bought on EA’s store and that I’ve been having trouble playing since they ditched their Origin launcher. Add the fact that BF6 won’t work on any Linux OS either and I’m out. I’m not paying a cent for games as a service that won’t ever serve me.

Folks at Digital Foundry have been talking about the matter. Most games made with Unreal Engine 5 share this among other problems.

If their games arrive years late, cost more than 60 bucks, are buggy and unoptimized and require a PSN account to play them on Steam they can burn them for all I care.

Most people are buying Nvidia because that’s what’s commonly recommended on reviews. “Want to use AI? Buy Nvidia! Want the latest DX12+ support? Buy Nvidia! Want to develop videogames or encode video? Buy Nvidia! Want to upgrade to Windows 11? Buy Nvidia!” Nonstop Nvidia adverts everywhere, with tampered benchmarks and whatnot. Other brands’ selling points aren’t well known and the general notion is that if it’s not Nvidia it sucks.

The more you pirate the more hyped and disappointed you’ll be about things you’d otherwise never have known about. It’s a double edged blade. Your criteria grows. You spend less on highly advertised products and more on niche things most haven’t heard of. But when pirating as an act of boycott you also risk growing attachment to the product or franchise you’re pretending to sabotage. So if it sounds ethically correct to pirate something instead of purchasing it to harm someone in the production chain, don’t do either. Most people will just preorder a collector’s edition for another of their releases as soon as they forget or relax about what upset them. Piracy isn’t theft, it’s generosity, accessibility and preservation.

Yet Tim Sweeney marketed Nanite, Lumen and other sparkly smoke in UE5 for the opposite. Because who needs a decent development team getting paid to polish things and put wit over bloat when a monkey could just leave the default resource hungry settings and call it a day? Props for UE3 though. UE3 was tight.

A year or two ago I found out pretty late that there isn’t any benefit in pausing Humble Monthly anymore. The perk that was supposed to be given to Classic subscribers didn’t last much. You can just cancel your subscription and pay again as soon as you actually see something you like. The site will show some messages to dissuade you, but there really isn’t anything that should hold you back at the moment. Still, even if bundles there aren’t as juicy as they used to be, that’s still a very generous price if you like at least one of the offered games.

I usually defend press, but people at Bloomberg are very obsessive, manipulative and misleading.

Adobe could support Linux, but that doesn’t mean I’ll support Adobe. (ง ื▿ ื)ว

Will check it out. Thanks!

Had someone tell me he loved the fact the game offers to link your Microsoft account so you can save your achievements there. I felt so old.
