It depends on how it works, 14 days and then the friend has to buy it or renewed every 14 days. If it is the latter and if it eventually goes online (which I think it will with the online subscription) it is a way, not the best way but a way, to stop scammers from building up massive stolen libraries because, unlike piracy, these games would actually be getting stolen from whoever lent it out since they can’t play them. If it is 14 days and then the friend has to buy the game, it’s a stupid limit.





I also reccomend deep rock galactic, the devs are very involved in the community. The community is (mostly) amazing. There isn’t much story and it is completely hidden in the in game encyclopedia and the wiki. No drm (apart from steam) and lots of content and depth that keeps you hooked once you make it to your first promotion.


If you already have pcvr, sony released an adaptor to make it work with steam, the drivers don’t have the best reviews though.


I don’t think the linux version has denuvo, if it does, it’s already been cracked so you can play that instead


Is this also on stuff made with the semiconductors? What’s stopping the companies from moving assembly out the US as well?




No, I was thinking about civ7 but was unsure because, while firaxis is very talented, I do not trust 2k, once they added denuvo I decided to not even buy it at launch even if the reviews are positive (and £120 for the founders edition is stupid, especially since, if the game is updated like all previous civs, it will be necessary).

I will be waiting for denuvo to be removed (because it always is) and for a sale.


I may be misremembering but don’t some steam games have no drm? KSP1 and Ultrakill come to mind, are they still on a licence like games with drm?



I think the desktop feature was added to the quest 3 so not much point for it now. Especially because they didn’t reach businesses like they hoped


Mainly Harmony, I like low pop MRP and the players+admins are nice


Space station 14 - 265 hours

Elite: Dangerous - 265 hours

Space station 14 doesn’t show up because it is a play test


I had the opposite problem building mine, if I tried to cable manage* I couldn’t close the case because there was too much slack

*hiding all the cables in the back panel


It’s because it happened when msfs released in 2020, and they have an easy solution… use steam/regular xbox download servers instead of the servers not designed for this kind of stress


There’s a reason it’s launching on the switch despite being a sony ip. It is a very different target market to the majority of steam players


What engine do you use? Some automatically convert kb+m to controllers so developers need to do a lot less


They renamed themselves to atari after buying atari


This is a large part of it. But there is also other people who have put the minimum amount or no money into it and just want a cool space game and also want the developers to not be pressured into rushing updates out (they were once and it was unplayable for a month). I am not defending the sketchy stuff cig have done, they really need to look at how they manage this game and their business, I would have gladly put more than the bare minimum into the game if they didn’t charge so much for everything beyond the first purchase (about £35) but they do too much wrong for me to support it any more than I have



Is the large systemic change starting the development of a sequel for a game that recently turned 8 years old?



This definitely, vr is a lot of fun, especially with friends (in the game or sharing a headset while we all sit in the same room). But it isn’t worth setting it all up (especially if it is pcvr) when I could just play one of the 100s of pancake games I have collected over the years.





I don’t think it’s a scam but I agree with some of these points, cig can’t be trusted with a deadline, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment if you think something is being released on time.

They have some obvious cash grabs, like the atls, which takes the tedium out of the newly tedious cargo update. But that purchase isn’t necessary and was made possible to buy (for very cheap) with in game money in the patch that released yesterday.


I have spent £40 on this game. That is £30 cheaper than some AAA games, about as buggy, and a lot more fun.


I was playing the game/tech demo yesterday. It seems to be there and I was having a lot of fun.


Looks like your good. It doesn’t say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon’s

(This may just be because the store page is incomplete)


I haven’t played rise of nations but from your description, you might like the core paradox games (crusader kings -> europa universallis-> victoria -> hearts of iron) despite their shitty dlc model. Currently, eu4 is on sale with all its dlc for ~£40, dlc isn’t very necessary for the other games. They are more grand strategy than 4x. You can use mods to convert saves and carry your campaign through the games. All together, they can cover all of human history (European, North African and West Asian medieval history and then the rest of the world from 1444 onwards). If what you like about rts is the unit micromanagement, you might want to go with victoria 2 rather than victoria 3, you will need victoria 2 dlc and it is a lot older.

If you want a 4x rts, stellaris is very good, but it isn’t based on human history.


Tldr: They’ve been going through this cycle of consecutive huge successes and consecutive flops for decades but this is the worst series of flops in the company’s history

My guess is because of shareholder pressure


I don’t usually defend ea but maybe fifa shouldn’t have tried to charge 4 years of profit for ea to use their name
