I don’t know if it’s a slight against them. There’s a whole shit load of stuff not included. Just because something wasn’t doesn’t mean it was a choice. It would have been nice, but we can’t really know why there’s none here.

I have a suspicion $80 was made up to anchor the price, so when they drop it to $70 stupid people think they won and are getting a deal.

I agree with you that time isn’t the measure of value. That’s not what the person above said though. Honestly, I think it was a pretty bad game. The writting didn’t trust the player, instead they beat them over the head that it’s a goofy critique of capitalism. The characters were boring. The game in general just wasn’t very fun.

Honestly, it did fall into what you’re saying where it felt bloated. There was potentially a good game in there, but it was buried under everything that wasn’t interesting but they thought they needed.

Yeah, I have a theory that the absurd $80 price was to make as feel like we won when it drops to $70. This isn’t a win. Don’t celebrate it.

Throw the System Shock remakes into your replay. They’re Bioshock in all but name, except you get more freedom (that decreases steadily over time with each game in this “series”).

With the right team willing to take risks, I agree. There’s still so much it could explore. I doubt this is that though.

To be fair, they are largely anti-american and woke, but in a good way. Woke is good, and America has some fucking issues. If you’re choosing to be not woke or actively pro-america, then you might be doing something wrong.

The point is to make it too expensive for them, so they leave you alone (or, ideally, totally die but that’s a long way off). They’re making a choice to harvest data on your site. Make them choose not to. It saves energy in the long run.

There are lots of good examples, they’re usually smaller studios/indie though. GaaS sucks when you get the people with business degrees in on it. It’s great for people who are working on a game they’re passionate about and just want to keep adding more content.

I make games for Ludum Dare fairly frequently, and it’ll be a nice feature, because a lot of people will refuse to download a game and only play web versions.

Other than that case, I agree. What’s the point? Your page probably shouldn’t be doing anything where it needs the GPU. What information is a page trying to present that a GPU is better at rendering than the CPU? Maybe very niche topics, but usually text is ideal.

It’s great because it hardly resembles Star Wars. There’s no chosen one (OK, season 2 sort of makes Andor into someone chosen by The Force, but it’s vague enough that maybe it’s just saying it’s around him because of what he’s done/become), no lighsabers, barely any of The Force, there’s mass murder of civilians on screen, and I’m pretty sure they even included an anologue for Walt Disney himself as a master of propoganda assisting The Empire, just like the real Walt and Fascists.

It’s good because they have a passionate team, and they seem to have been given almost complete freedom. Disney isn’t breathing down their necks telling them what to or not to include. They just want to tell a story about rebellion in our world, but use the Star Wars backdrop to trick people into watching it and agreeing with it when they maybe wouldn’t initially if it were using imagery from our world.
