Future cosmetics will also be available in both games. Not sure about past ones. They’re doing a fantastic job, and hopefully that continues.

I don’t think the 2% figure includes the steam deck, but I might be wrong

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 has a 10 year support window, and subsequent LTSC versions, 5 years. If you can get your hands on one of these licences you would presumably continue to receive security patches. If the US government is somehow not running on this kind of licence, it would be pretty funny, but I’m sure Microsoft would be lenient and let them jump onto whatever compatible LTSC version given its an American company.

Your point is basically the same but I believe he isn’t technically a one man dev anymore. For a while, he has worked in a small team, with a few games released/in EA on Steam having been created by former SV devs on the same engine with ConcernedApe’s permission.

I assume he also outsources the work of the console ports.

In any case, it doesn’t take away from the point, and you could probably still classify him as a solo developer for the purpose of talking about his upcoming Willy Wonka simulator. It’s much easier to pay 4-5 people from the proceeds of one of the best selling indie games of all time than it is to pay 40-50 people from the proceeds of a 10 year old game with free updates and expansions. No Man’s Sky, for example, must have some really consistent sales figures for them to continue to be making money.

Wow private servers aren’t uncommon, although I do think they violate the TOS as it stands. I imagine people would continue to use those in the event blizzard shuts the official servers down.

Pirate them

If you don’t have it already, maybe you should look at a steam deck in the future. I find it to be really good for times in my life when my time to play is limited, and a better source of unwinding than just mindlessly scrolling Lemmy or Instagram when I have a spare 15.

That’s a great point of reference for me. I want to upgrade from my 2080 to an AMD card for my gaming rig and I’m torn between saving up for X months and splurging on a 7800xt, or looking for a hot deal. Looking at benchmarks it would take a really good deal on either the 7600xt or 6700xt to drop that far down the line, given the effort of selling my current card. When I can get significantly better improvements for a 1-200 dollar difference if I just wait, it just doesn’t feel worthwhile.

Garmin’s are excellent. Mine takes a beating.

My personal disclaimer on this is that Borderlands is way more fun with friends, but if you want to pay attention to the story you probably need to be selective about who you play with. I find most of the people I’ve played with don’t really pay attention to the story and I either need to skip everything or force them to wait for me, not ideal for either person.
