If you want to relive it, MadSeasonShow on YouTube has been doing a blind playthrough for the last couple years and it's pretty nostalgic to watch!
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 week ago:
I was, as that is what people usually mean with XCOM 3. A sequel to XCOM 2.

He wasnt involved in the reboot series IIRC. Jake Solomon was the creative director.

I think you are confused. I am simply saying, the developers, the individuals, who designed and created the previous games are not at the studio who owns the IP. Unless they are all rehired at Firaxis Games, the individuals cannot develop another XCOM. Do you understand now?
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 week ago:
They have made stuff for me, just getting them back together to make another XCOM is very very unlikely. Do you understand how IP ownership works?
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 week ago:
Yes, lots of layoffs and devs just moving on.
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 week ago:
Because the industry has changed a lot over the last decade and XCOM would be more likely to be dragged through the dirt than to be faithfully resurrected.
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 1 week ago:
All the devs have gone, it would be a shell of its former self. If the original developers are still together somewhere, we would be better off getting a new IP.
- Comment on How do you make friends online? 2 weeks ago:
Making friends through text can be hard. Obviously you want to be in a space where people share the same interest as you, as a common interest you can discuss.
If you play video games, it's a lot easier the break that ground. Chatting to people in-game is a good way to make friends as you always have a bounce back topic as you learn more about each other.
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 2 weeks ago:
Most playstation gamers. Most gamers do not use playstation. It's a small drop and most won't care. Unfortunately, of course.
I don't play on modern consoles and I don't buy skins. I preach it, but everyone can make their own decisions.
You are 100% right, there's so many good indie games out there to enjoy. I hope more people avoid predatory models and buy the good stuff instead.

No tangible amount of people are going to put their money where their mouth is. Gamers have time and time again shown that they can be screwed over. I mean look at the state of the big games now and games as a service taking over, people are happily paying $20+ for a skin in a game, something that used to come included with the game as an unlock.
- Comment on Game Pass Was Supposed To Save Xbox – Instead, It’s Killing the Company 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I get it. We just dont want to set a precedent either. How long until games are exclusive to game pass? You know thats the path they want to take. We gotta reject the service before it takes over and screws everyone.
- Comment on Game Pass Was Supposed To Save Xbox – Instead, It’s Killing the Company 3 weeks ago:
People dont want a subscription to play games, it only made sense as an extension of Xbox Live. Outside of that it was mainly used as a way to demo some games for a month, or play that one game for $1.
Just buying games has way more value overall.
- Comment on Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach 5 weeks ago:
Sure, in the grand scheme of things, but per user, not getting $70 from me costs them more.
- Comment on Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach 5 weeks ago:
It's more costly to the developer when I dont buy their kernel AC game.
- Comment on Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach 5 weeks ago:
Anti-cheat should be server side. Cheats are done on external hardware now as kernel AC chased them into the undetectable zone, well played.
No game is worth sacrificing your entire PC to play.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It costs time and money to make them smaller, big studios dont want to waste that and know their games will sell regardless.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 1 month ago:
You are right, the indie space is booming. I meant big gaming, the mainstream triple A crap. But some kind of shitty practices being accepted by people in AAA games, does bleed down to some smaller studios indulging.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 1 month ago:
Gaming is so fucked.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 1 month ago:
Nobody in the right mind is buying AAA games at launch. They always go on sale a few months later.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 month ago:
The only way you are cooling these houses down at night is if there's a mighty breeze, cool outdoor temperatures or if you took the entire roof off.
Your theory might sound good, but in reality it doesnt work that way. Temperatures during this heatwave wont even drop below 20-25c at night, opening the windows doesnt magically mean that the inside drops to match outside as well. It takes hours and hours to do so, and by then the sun is back up, heating the houses up again.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 1 month ago:
Even with all the windows and blinds closed, the temperature of the house still gets warm. Then it's hard to expel that heat before the next day, so it gets even warmer.

Dont they train AI on your snaps too now?
- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 6 months ago:
Not at all rude, imho, maybe the culture is different where you are from?
I value animals very highly, so why should they get named after food, that seems rude.
- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 6 months ago:
Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 6 months ago:
Do you have a source for that? All I can find on their Steamworks site is the rules on Steam keys being restricted, not other versions. Maybe I missed that email part in the news.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 6 months ago:
You dont like games that look like you have grease smeared over your monitor?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 6 months ago:
It only applies to Steam product keys though, so developers cannot sell cheap Steam keys on other platforms while still taking advantage of Steam's services.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 6 months ago:
Epic Games Launcher would always end up a pile of shit anyway. Tim Sweeney is a fuckhead and he has lots of investors to please.

They already did that, we'd just be clearing up the trash.
