Yeah, clearly offering more ways to legitimately purchase their content is predatory… Stellaris is EIGHT years old at this point, it’s hard to find another single player game that’s still supported and updated as well. Every dlc also brings a free update, so all owners benefit.

Or maybe we just need to stop buying shit that’s just thinly veiled skinner boxes, and play games because they are fun again, not to get the best/coolest/most brag-worthy stuff in-game.

would focus on the essence of what made the original series great by making an, “arcadey, amazing-feeling, very accessible, competitive and fun game.” Project Gravity was also planned to be a live-service, free-to-play title

Yeaaaaaah, those two are probably not compatible.

I think I saw an ad for this when it came out, but I thought it was some multiplayer hero shooter thing, which doesn’t interest me.

Maybe not release it in-between BG3 and Starfield would have been better, hey?

His understanding of global security is that of a low-level mobster, who thinks alliances are a protection racket. What does that tell you about him?

I’ll grab it in four years, when they give it away for free. And never ever play it.

Releasing a niche new IP from a well-regarded but lesser-known developer with little to no marketing in the extremely busy autumn and expecting success is... a bit weird. You gotta wonder what they were thinking.

Seems like they are right

Try to see it like a choose your own adventure instead of "gotta catch 'em all". I find it helps to have a soft rule against savescumming for myself - if I make a mistake, my character made that. The only times I let myself reload is if the outcome of what I did was unclear, and went entirely against what I thought it would do.

It would, except they transferred all story-related items, regardless of whether the quest was finished or not, including some equipment and alchemy item, and IN BAGS for some reason. It made a whole mess of my MC's inventory whenever I swapped my party around.
