There’s a few issues I have with it, but the age transitions isn’t one of them. The modern age, when I last played, felt far too short. I also found that it’s more fun to play with longer age lengths and no crisis.
I already have a few hundred hours into it. If the game interests you, I’d recommend it. They’ve done a lot the past few months to improve the balance.
Meh my biggest complaint about Civ 7 was around unique districts being placed randomly by the AI, making captured cities a lot worse than cities you create yourself.
They’ve made changes to the age system so that more carries over between ages now, but the age system never really bothered me. It’s a more explicit rubber banding mechanic. It’s not for everyone though, and there are a couple things I don’t like about it, but it’s different than previous Civs, and a nice change from the snowballing in Civ 6.
I think their biggest mistake with this game was just changing too much at once. It’s a lot different than Civs 5 and 6, and I’m wondering if people were just expecting more of that instead.
While this would be nice, it’s not that hard to design malware that hides itself in certain environments. It’s actually extremely common for more advanced malware to disable itself in sandboxes, for example.
For other reasons, that might be nice though. It at least enforces some level of quality and playability.
I see no reason someone shouldn’t be allowed to ask for donations. If you want to accept donations, go for it. There doesn’t need to be a special reason to do so.
Donations should come without obligations though. If someone donates, yay, but donations should never be in exchange for something (that would be a payment).
The price of one game is not a problem for the price of another game. Make better games, or learn to market them better. Silksong’s hype is nothing short of a crazy marketing success, and its price is indicative of a dev team that wants people to actually play and enjoy their game.
Also, I think it’s been made very clear that people would have been willing to spend more for it. Make a great game, and you’ll likely receive the same reception. And sure, charge $30 instead, and people will buy it if your game is good.
Been using this mouse for years. The scroll wheel is already spazzing out whenever I use it. Still, haven’t had any complaints about it other than that (except for needing iCue).
I don’t need all the side buttons anymore though, so I may go for something simpler for my next mouse. Still, it was the best mouse I could find with that many inputs available to it.
Would it be nice in the base game? Sure, but it’s not there, and speculating that he’s a transphobe because of that seems like a hell of a conclusion to make.
Edit: I should add that the game via its special dialogue tokens, but not in the UI. This shows at least some level of support explicitly added by CA.
Back when I was playing it, I believe it’d work just fine without the steamapi DLL if purchased through Steam.
Plus, the modding scene is big enough that these days you can pretty much compile the PC version of the game from source, assuming you can find a suitably cleaned up decompiled version of it. (Do pay for a license if you go this route, it’s definitely worth the price.)
No idea about the Switch port. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s harder to find though due to the Switch being more locked down in general.

Nobody thought to… I don’t know, watch the ads before they went live?
Why would they stop working with Roblox? It’s the perfect platform for their execs to use when they’re looking to cheat on their SOs.
Porn is too heavily regulated for them, so they don’t like it. To begin with, it has a minimum age requirement that’s much higher than Roblox.
Payment processors (and any banks that are a part of it) can’t really be hated more than they already are. It’s amazing how much someone can fuck over society as a whole without any remorse. Narcissists and psychopaths I guess. I hope I see the companies cease to exist at some point during my life, and not be replaced with something worse (or equally as bad).
Is there any technical reason you couldn’t save a game with its license, in its entirety, to a SD card? Skip the cartridges, and if people want to resell, they can export their license + game files to a SD card and sell that instead.
None of this seems to be an issue on PC. I can copy game files onto an external drive and load them on another PC. Even for games with DRM, it’s usually not an issue as long as any required software is installed and the game files are copied to the right location.
For Nintendo’s DRM, export the license (unlink it from the account), then the other user can link the license to their account and use the files on the drive.
A game that comes to mind for me is Frostpunk. It has easy, medium, hard, and extreme. Naturally I selected normal at first.
Normal difficulty Frostpunk is not for beginners. I learned that very quickly. That game was basically the dark souls of city builders. It was a super fun game though, and probably near the top of my list of best games I’ve played.
They changed the difficulty names in FP2 to citizen, officer, steward, and captain. I believe the default is citizen there. I guess even they realized there is nothing easy about that game. FP2, while a drastically different game, was also hard.
