I’ve just assumed they don’t care. They’ve done scummy shit for years, and it doesn’t really matter because they’ll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won’t ultimately impact sales.

Pretty neat. You can use this with RPCS3. Unfortunately it’s probably a matter of time before Take-Two/Rockstar ruin all the fun as they’ve historically done with fan projects.

That’s correct. Even with this backtrack, it’s a safe bet that they’ll likely re-introduce this same policy with different wording once they believe their consumers have calmed down.

Hell yeah. Xfire, Counter Strike Source, and Toonami made up the bulk of my childhood. I hardly hear it talked about anymore

Glad they included such an expansive space combat update in this release. For a while it seemed like ship combat was an afterthought, but this update really does add depth to it.

I’m expecting they will introduce some online service like GTA Online along with a slew of micro transactions to make up the budget. I can’t really say why but I’m getting the feeling this will be a always-online game

Haven’t you always dreamed of having a launcher to launch your launcher which launches the actual game? Seriously who approves these choices

I can’t speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed the “get out of your way” style the app has. I also really liked that you had to slide to upvote/downvote on posts instead of having static buttons you can accidentally press. It also had a decent system for switching between multiple accounts. Finally, it’s all open source so one could fork it and customize it if they wanted to.
