How is that half correct? A game that requires an internet connection for no good reason is still a game that requires one, no?

G*mer

I was excited when Sony finally announced it for PC, and well, it was worth the ten years wait and full price for me!

no thx

It’s every other day now, without any real milestones, just some progress.

Thankee-sai for your generous and condescending offer! But please, downvote. It‘s not about games that never need an internet connection, but I‘m not against the petition.

These posts are borderline spam, just to save a few shitty live service games.

Passion projects like Stardew where the devs get paid nothing for years? That’s not sustainable.

That’s not what they think, that’s just how their law lackeys justify horrendous fines. Their market analysts will still see the „talk“ about the game, by people who played, legally or not.

Or do the boycott right and don’t play the game at all.

Subnautica was lightning in a bottle.

Für Konservative heißt Neutralität, nicht in der Öffentlichkeit mit Regenbögen rumzuschwulen.

Der Durchschnittsdeutsche wird nicht plötzlich mit Backen anfangen, weil das Brot zu teuer ist. Wie der Artikel sagt, weicht man auf besser planbarere Aufbackbrötchen aus oder ich weiß nicht, ob geschnittenes und abgepacktes Brot auch nicht zu „Brot vom Bäcker“ zählt.

Ich zweifle an der Geschichte. Wenn ich 50h die Woche arbeite und ein, zwei Kinder großziehe, fang ich nicht an, auch noch Brot zu backen.

It‘s a passion project alright, but we won‘t see many games if only those are getting done.

Good enough to not release a new game in ten years, what small scale studio can say that.

And yet those small studios are one flop away from bankruptcy. Stardew Valley is a one in a million success story and should not pose as a benchmark. Barone decided to continue as a more or less single dev, but you can‘t blame talented young designers to expand their team to realize more ambitious projects and sacrifice economic safety for that simply because they now employ people. Barone can do updates ten years later and postpone Haunted Chocolatier for that, you can‘t do that if multiple people depend on their salary.
