They sure are. That’s why they can naff off asking for charity. I don’t recall seeing their efforts on the SKG initiative so I don’t see much reason to be charitable. My and GoG’s relationship shall remain a “money for goods” arrangement.

Exactly this. I had been hoping that Benzies going his own way would be good news but I suppose this tells us a lot about the behind the scenes of R* instead.

Worst case scenario, we quickly find out who owns it when someone pops up trying to claim their money.

Not so much paranoid, more desperately looking for excuses. Sabotage couldn’t make a game turn out that poorly unless every non-saboteur was fully asleep at the wheel. It’s poor direction plain and simple.

Ah. Firmly putting that one on the “hell no” pile. Even with a pre-patched bootleg I don’t have to pay for the privilege of risking giving up full access to my computer at the very least. Thanks for the info all the same.

Tell me more?

I wonder just how many incentives it included to update…

Not to mention general support from software companies. I recently endeavoured to try Bazzite only to find out I can’t install my VPN’s client on it because there’s not a flatpak version. Given a handful of other programs I specifically like and would need to find workarounds or alternatives to, I won’t be jumping over anytime soon.

I have to agree with this. The game is gorgeous and I enjoy the general setting and plot but I absolutely loath the navigation system that just about everyone and their pet turtle says is amazing and I thought it went on for too long. By the end of the main story (and having done most of the side stuff alobg the way) I was so done with it I didn’t even bother touching the DLC.

I found the game a lot more approachable once I modded the toffee-tier equipment out of the game.

TW3, and The Witcher as a series in general, is one of those slow burn games. Its strong point is the characters and building story. That said, given the time investment required to get to that point, I can’t blame anyone for bouncing off if they weren’t already into the series.

Complete with child exploitation?

Since there’s a Switch version, I’d assume so

So who and when do those users get to sue for negligence?

I have to admit, not a route I’d expect, certainly not one to become a norm given different use cases or the steeper buy-in.

And the enshittification will continue until they have true competition.

There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.

Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…

I also generally agree with this. With my original comment, I had specific games in mind. For example, I’d love a new American McGee’s Alice that doesn’t feel so darn clunky. That kind of thing.

Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.
