If you want to play the same game over and over, there are plenty of those.

Live games are for ever-changing environments.

Fallout 76 didn't ruin New Vegas

Ultima online wasn't a "cancer" to the gaming industry

I wish Final Fantasy XIV ruined the franchise so we didn't get the abomination that is the latest two installments.

Greedy shit developers make shit products, no surprise. But GemStone, Asheron's Call, World of Warcraft (the early years, I can't speak to the latest) and other forms of long-term games offer a chance to experience a world for years in an additive environment instead of waiting for the next installment of starting at ground zero again.

Just because he says it, doesn't make it true. Right now we have ceos everywhere just saying "AI" in every statement to sound relevant.

And we already went through this moving from hand-drawn to computer animation.

The initialism is decades older than any iDevice. Go complain to people on USENET from before you were born.

I had no idea there was a shopping list app. We've been using Keep for that kind of list and it syncs pretty quick, but no idea about Home.

How many people clicked the phishing links in your college papers?

Keep down voting me, but I bet I'm the only one in this thread that's actually played the game.

What part of it is unfinished? Also, it's on game pass, so I paid nothing, and am playing a sequel to a game I love and spent 100s of hours on. Real evil ploy here.

I'm accepting it because I've played another dozen hours of a game I enjoy. CO spent 8 years updating the first game and I expect no less. Paradox isn't some evil publisher, have you even played anything they've released?

They informed customers so they can make their own decision. I have hardware that allows me to play the game.

I'm playing a developed, finished game. If you don't have hardware that can run it, then wait until it's fixed.

They were open and honest, and I'm not sure why you're so angry with that

Not a deal breaker for me. Runs perfectly fine, except for an occasional hitch when zooming.

 

Twitch is introducing a new “Partner Plus” program that will give streamers an increased 70 percent of the share of their subscription revenues — up to the first $100,000 brought in each year — with Twitch taking the other 30 percent.

Most partnered streamers receive 50 percent of their subscription revenues, though Twitch had negotiated 70 / 30 deals with some of the platform’s biggest streamers until last fall when it announced that those deals would eventually get this same $100,000 cut-off. The new program doesn’t seem to change those “premium subscription terms,” but it could give many more streamers access to the higher split
