I mean, this paragraph explains lays it out:

The popularity of the game was largely due to the marketing for GamePass. GamePass went nuts promoting it. So for them to suddenly pretend like the game doesn't exist is definitely worth a mention. 

Big generalization/exaggeration there.

I don’t get the need to incorporate Game Pass so much in this article. Particularly when it comes to their tweets. It’s like you’re trying to hold Microsoft accountable when they’re not responsible in any way...

Does anyone know if the driving force originally behind Forza

SimCopter would let you import and fly around in cities from SimCity 2000. If your SC2K city had any military fighter jets, they would spawn an Apache attack helicopter in SimCopter, with fully functional machine gun and missiles.

I’ll try for the oldest: In Ultima III (1983) if you cast the spell Dag Acron (which teleports you randomly somewhere in the world) while on a ship, your ship will be teleported with you, and you might end up in the middle of a land mass. If this happens, you won’t be able to leave the ship and you are stuck there…

One of the failed pitches for Final Fantasy 7 was about a gruff, hot-headed New York Detective named Joe investigating magic terrorists... ... ...It later became the basis for Parasite Eve.

There have been 32 people involved in NiN since Trent created the band.  He’s usually portrayed as being the sole member, but it’s far from true.  All three times I’ve seen him live, including just last September, he’s had a full band behind him.

Considering that the developer also, among other things, doesn’t think statutory rape should be a thing, and thinks if no violence occurred then it wasn’t rape...yeah, using a Notch quote is right up this garbage human’s alley.

On the one hand, it’s refreshing to have people be upfront about their pricing - sales are a form of psychological manipulation, minor as it may be, and I appreciate the honesty of saying “This is the price, you can buy it or not, but I’m not gonna jerk you around or play games with you”.

I just looked this up and wow you are right what a shithead. Weird how everyone ignored that he is a shitty person while that FNAF developer guy got (rightfully) called out for his bs immediately once people saw it.

It receives updates basically every month. No online play though. 

This finally motivated me to just remove it from my wishlist. I didn’t know that the not going on sale thing was a dev policy, otherwise I never would have added it in the first place. I rarely pay more than $20 for any game (that’s what patience is for), so if I wasn’t gonna buy this for $30, I’m sure as shit not…

He called “statutory rape” a meaningless sjw term and said there’s no rape if there’s no violence, and that a teacher/student sexual relationship (for example) could absolutely be consensual.

Yep. It’s a backwards sale in a certain sense. They know it’ll never go on sale, but it WILL go up in price. If you want it, get it while you can save $5 bucks. They’ll get a sales surge over the next week, but as many others have said. The people who want this game already have it because they know it never goes on…

No mention of this being the second time they’ve raised the price?

They still put out updates on a monthly basis. You might note that you need to pay people to do that.

In this case Factorio is a notorious time sink of a game. People have nicknamed this game ‘Cracktorio’. It’s definitely not for everyone, but everyone who enjoys it gets pulled into it for upwards of months to years. I’d say for $35 that’s a steal. Really the goal for them now is to adjust the learning curve but…

Devs either need to make new games to sell and stop supporting old ones or they have to sell add-ons to old games to continue to make money so the devs can continue to be supported/employed.
