4 months agoI’m not sure what the reason for this theoretical is when it’s already documented that self-hosted instances have full free access to the paid perks.
It’s become pretty clear since all of this kicked off that none of the Discord-replacement hopefuls have the infrastructure to accept even the smallest fraction of users fleeing Discord. Paying for some nice-to-have features when using the official instance is at least a plan towards paying for that infrastructure.
Speaking on a more broad level, I find it more suspicious when services are free these days with no path to self-sufficient monetization. We’ve seen enough of those fall to venture capital influence at this point.
I’ve tried playing this game via GameNative on an AYN Thor myself because I thought a handheld would be perfect for this kind of game. I’m on the steam version instead of Epic, but I can confirm that there’s a monsterous load time when playing the PC version through GameNative. Subsequent launches were faster, especially after I lowered a setting in the menus regarding how it loads data from disk.
But even then, I had a lot of broken textures and models and semi frequent crashes too. I really recommend playing on traditional hardware for the time being.
GameNative has been actual witchcraft for a bunch of games, I’m playing Mina that way myself right now. But yeah for whatever reason, Cassette Beasts isn’t playing nice with it yet.
