I’ve Kickstarter, when I wanna give money to struggling artists who may or may not deliver on time (hi, Poots!) Big studios can kiss my ass. And I say this as a fan of CDPR! I almost preordered CP2077, because I felt bad not paying full price for The Witcher 3. But then I remembered it just fucking encourages them. I’d rather have paid for a print copy of the artbook, to give them extra money. Ah well.
The penultimate step before they just release a barebones framework that just lets the community create all the content (including patching their shitty code) while they keep raking in the money.
What? The developer whose UI has been consistently shite from game to game, only for mods to come to the rescue, has released yet another obnoxious UI? Whose games are pretty much universally “great with mods”, is meh right out the gate? Colour me shocked!
So like the vast majority of PCs still run on 1060 instead of whatever the latest shit is? Sounds pretty reasonable, especially if you want mobile gaming.
I keep telling them the same thing.
Our jobs involve working with people in offices on the other side of France and that’s no problem, surely. Therefore what difference does it make if a remote worker is at home rather than on a different site? None. It’s all bullshit to control people, just like you said.
You should see HR people squirming trying to justify that one…
I’m not sure how this is surprising anyone at all, honestly.
The problem (but not for Bethesda) is that we are so used to mods that we seem to forget how absolutely shite a lot of their vanilla UI is. Has everybody forgotten the Skyrim map? Coz I sure as shit have not.
Did they somehow miraculously fix it all in Fallout 4? Genuine question, I kinda gave up on them after Skyrim.
Man, imagine going to jail for something so stupid as posting some shit earlier than some other schmucks, for something that’s probably gonna be buggy as fuck from the get go…
