I only watched some streams, they did some updates for the controls and the UI, inventory stood out to me. So I hope they updated the controls to be "modern and palatable" too.
Made me think == good post.
Idk what you read into my comment?
Have you looked at the gothic remake? It's probably not as big but it should scratch a similar itch. But it's not as free form, you're playing as a set (male) nameless hero.
Otherwise... no not really. I could recommend wildly different games and genres that also feature exploration, but skyrim is just very good.
Wrote up a huge hypothetical of what I would do. Tough stuff. Made me think. Good post!
Bloomberg cites two high-profile cases referenced in the ongoing lawsuit, one involving Ubisoft, and another Warner Bros.
First of all, I trust Ubi and WB way less than valve.
Valve allegedly threatened to delist all editions of Rainbow Six Siege after Ubisoft offered a cheaper option on its Uplay store.
Yeah.
Because it violates their policy. That's not a "threat", those are the terms of the contract Ubi and WB agreed to. Terms that everyone has to follow.
Heck, Ubi and WB should be hit with a counter suit for trying to leverage their market position to exert control over valve and getting unusually favorable terms.
Clown suit. Ubi and WB are mad they can't break their contract with valve in a one sided way.
edit: I forgot some context:
The deal between valve and a publisher or dev is: they can sell on steam and elsewhere if steam is at least tied in price, or cheaper, but when they sell somewhere else, that includes the steam key and access to steam and steam's distribution at no cost.
What the devs and publishers wanted to do was leverage other features of steam and the steam ecosystem, while undercutting steam's price.
They are always free to just not sell on steam for a cheaper price. That's not what this is about.

"Steam Key Rules and Guidelines"
Being a personal fan of video games isn’t necessarily required to succeed in running a gaming company.
What the F***, yes it is.
(that's arstechnica saying that though, not the new xbox boss person)
If you write something that you base on your previous work, but you don't cite your previous work, that's a problem.
How is the peer reviewer supposed to know who the author is, I thought obfuscating that was the whole point...
And to reward you, we’re giving you 24-hour visibility
(which is nothing special; there are 6 slots available for this visibility every day of the year for various Steam invitations).
He has no clue what he's talking about Steam in 2021 had 69 MILLION daily active users. WTF do you think is a bigger number 130.000 wishlists or getting even 1% of 69 million people to look at something in the reel?
People don't understand the size of steam or the value of that space (that one of six slots) sometimes. It's wild.
And also, THEY noticed, THEY informed him, THEY apologized, and THEY offered some form of compensation, which they legally don't have to.
I am soooooooooooooooo tired of indie devs blaming everything from the constellation of the stars to the quality of the donuts on a different continent for their game not doing well, except that maybe the game isn't that good, and also those 100.000 already sold units is the actual size of the market for that game.
Teen was third employee of city bike safety center to die in bike crash
Ah yes. It's not that A CAR crashed into her, it was a bike crash.
/s
Awful. Just awful that this keeps happening.
Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn't have these restrictions.
Also, updates.
"hey computer! Update!"
"Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?"
"y"
"ok... done!"
👌
I don't even really understand why people like that cling to power the way they do.
They're literally dying on the job. Don't they want to retire? Spend their money a bit?
They're not even a dictator where everyone and their mother will come after the scraps of the kingdom when they show weakness.
