I pre-order games I know I'd buy on launch. Some titles I just know I'll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.
I'll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.
Not to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.
If you don't like announcement teasers then don't watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?
It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest
Oh my god, I've wanted this for so long - lost so much progress over an accidental back press. Thanks for this! (though, I don't think it needs to be on by default - having it on by default could teach new users not to go into their communities UI)
Edit: though I do agree with the other user who mentioned a "do not ask again" checkbox - I think that would mitigate any concerns. Regardless, I'm just happy we have a warning now!
Matrix. I use it as my primary form of communication so I thought I should give back. I also support via github sponsors some of the bridges I use on matrix.
They used to support Linux as a platform, but they ended up dropping it because the userbase was too small to warrant the additional development efforts. I think it was around 2015 they added Linux versions of their games, only to remove them in 2018ish?
Either way, it meant switching to Steam for me. I understand that it was a business decision, but it was a damn shame...
Yep, which is precisely why it's my favorite. I think it's a really well balanced game. Now if it wasn't for the crappy main menu UI (which, granted, they've really improved as of late) and the bizarre bugs (which they haven't) it would be almost perfect.
As a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.
Incidentally I've also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That's nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.
Basically I'm addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it's an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn't made me love games again.
Very creative, and I love the art. Well done!
