ha, gotta give you that one :)

(obligatory - same here)

It’s 2026, open a window.

Right, he might be a little further down, but he’s absolutely still on the list. There are no good billionaires.

I agree, but I don’t have much sympathy left. Software used to be something that was done, and you purchased it; maybe some security or compatibility patches if necessary. But now, companies release unfinished, buggy, tiny games, unfinished software and then continue to develop on the fly.

When I pay for software, it should work out of the box, I do not expect updates, in fact don’t really want them because they fuck with my workflow. Patches are acceptable, often necessary, but any additional content or features are a value add.

Then again, this gray beard of mine is getting a bit long…

Update- this is not about Peak, I know nothing of this game, more of a general complaint of the industry.

I do use it myself (free tier only) but it’s out of ease and convenience. I’m ready to abandon it but I like the security it brings. My stuff is just personal garbage with no strict uptime requirement - if I lose public access I still have Tailscale and a VPN to my router as backup.

So, it’s a deal with the devil for sure, but it’s one I wore protection for when signing.

I really enjoyed the first game, not AAA new game price enjoyment though. I mean, I got as much fun out of it while playing as I have anything else, it just wasn’t as rich and deep as a fallout game. I give it a pass since it’s establishing a new universe but as much as I liked it, it’s most certainly a blue light special fallout clone.

So, asking inflated AAA prices seems, somewhat short sighted. I’d absolutely pay what I did for the first game, 80 bucks is a hard no for me though. I might buy it when it’s cheaper, but by then I’ll likely have seen enough clips, read enough reviews and gotten busy enough to just forget about it.

Bummer.
