When I first learned about Satisfactory, I thought this would just be Factorio with the unnecessary complication of adding 3D. But I got it through a bundle at some point, so I playtested it a bit (not much, just 200 hours) and then decided to put it away until 1.0 is released (as I really want to see the full experience before I’m done with the game). Since then, I tried every single game (I swear!) where you could build kind of a base in 3D freely, and nowhere saw a building experience that came close to Satisfactory. Not all is perfect there, for example I think it really should have terraforming, so not every little rock could block you from building your megafactory, but anyway, I’m counting days for when I can start building in Satisfactory again.


Snutt explains that in the video even. They will enter (closed) beta soon.



And that’s actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don’t. I know which one I wouldn’t choose.


Besides, if you want to win a complex court case, it certainly helps to have more than a few million dollars, so you can hire more of the best lawyers and let them prepare for longer time. But at some point, more money gets useless, and the stock value of your company isn’t even money that you could spend on anything.


Pro: This looks exactly like the original Dungeon Keeper that I loved. Contra: This looks exactly like a game from the 90s.



Nobody (that I know of) shorted, but Riccitiello and several other Unity executives sold shares in the weeks before the announcement. For at least Riccitiello this was part of a longer effort of selling, though, as he sold many shares over the whole past year.


The thing is they can’t even do this reliably. If you charge the customer once on purchase, but don’t know if they are going to install it once or ten times or if they are going to fuck with you and install it a hundred times, then how much do you want to charge?


And then call it “critically important for everyone” when it only affects the users of one particular tool (which used to be popular 20 years ago, but is one a decline ever since).


I don’t see a reason why the most expensive game ever should have to be feature complete after 12 years.
But if this particular most expensive game ever was originally announced to be released in 2014, then postponed last minute a couple of times and subsequently split up into two games to allow an earlier release of parts of it…


Half a year ago, I bought the 9 years younger (and much more complex) Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam sale for $20.


Musk may be erratic in other things, but his preference for the letter X is a constant, just ask x.com (1999), SpaceX (2002), the Tesla Model X (2012) or X Æ A-12 (2020).




MathGame is it. The ID is clearly visible, so you can open it in SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/app/2466320/charts/

It also doesn’t know a MethGame if you search for it. Closest match is an idle clicker called Meth Master: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1943710/Meth_Master
