I haven’t used Godot before so I can’t provide too much in the way of context from a user.
Overall though, the notes are pretty massive and encompass a large number of changes, most which are going to be meaningless to you if you not are a game developer or a Godot developer.
Some specific things that standout for a more general audience would be adding support for FSR 2.2, support (‘experimental’ aka not necessarily production ready) for project exports targeting Android and iOS (which were broken when they switched from Mono to the standard .NET library for C# support).
The problem is when those “older builds” rely on a connection to a back-end. If this was just a standalone piece of software that is one thing, but you can’t just let out-of-date clients that connect over the internet to run indefinitely.
But whether this stance is going to be accepted (via upvotes/downvotes) in this type of community comes down to a simple popularity contest.
If I thought that Starfield was fun and tried this type of sentiment, I would be downvoted. Would that be because there is some objective measure of quality that separates the two games, or just because more people are fans of Larian than Bethesda?
Honestly, I hadn’t realized there was a paywall on the article after having signed up a couple weeks ago.
I’ll actually avoid posting their articles here then. Thanks for the callout.
Edit: Though I’m still interested in hearing about where they are hypocritical. People keep saying Aftermath writers say paywalls are bad, but I haven’t seen that anywhere that I’ve noticed.
That is all that has ever existed in the genre and is all anyone wants from it.
I don’t remember you appointing you as the sole representative for all gamers.
Personally, I think games can be written about beyond “game good” and “game bad”. Or maybe it comes down to whether you find gaming something important, or just a silly way to waste time.
That BG3 drama was pretty much fabricated to stir up social media engagement. The sentiment you are complaining about really only existed in the mind of people complaining.
Nevermind that neither Larian or Sony are small companies.
That or they just don’t like the content of the post?
I haven’t upvoted the post because I’m not a huge fan of the “I’m not like other gamers/posters” style of content and don’t really want to encourage it.
