There are other ways to increase company value that do not necessarily result in Q/Q / Y/Y profit increases.

Can you name some examples? I’m not very familiar with economics.

And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

Well, Microsoft has at least.

There are so many different ways they could create value.

Such as?

Your friend is entitled to her own opinion and I somewhat get her. Good graphics are really nice and can add greatly to a game.

Bits are basically donations.

This hurts to read

I’m not even a parent and I don’t want this. It’s just an unnecessary mechanic to punish casual players for no reason at all. It doesn’t add anything to the game.

What is the best practice currently?

Yes, I don’t like mechanics that happen while the game is turned off. It’s unnecessary. I keep reading from players who are defending this mechanic that it’s so easy to get several days or almost a month of water supply in just a few hours of gameplay. But if it’s so easy to get the water why not just remove the mechanic? They wouldn’t even notice and everyone else wouldn’t have to play with this FOMO mechanic.

I mean without a keyboard attached.

This looks so cool and I love that it is PvE but this water level mechanic kills the whole game for me. I don’t want to play a game that makes me lose my progression when I’m not actively playing it. If they change this I will consider buying it but the developers seem to be pretty hellbent on keeping this mechanic unfortunately. Maybe they will change their tune in a few weeks when they notice that they can’t keep players around.

Where do you live that you HAVE to learn manual? Here in Germany you have a choice of either learning manual or automatic. If you learn automatic though you are only allowed to drive automatic cars and if you learn manual you are allowed to drive both.

How long was it an Epic exclusive?

Let’s hope it won’t be a chromium browser.

I wonder if Mozilla could’ve been Proton

I wonder if Proton will someday in the future add a browser to the tools they offer.

Due to YouTube Music being included in that it’s way too expensive for just removing ads. They need to add a tier that’s cheaper to just remove ads.
