If the game is badly broken/glitchy and nigh unplayable, I’d prefer to be warned exactly how bad it is, and what measures I could possibly take to avoid falling into the same issues... before, you know, paying money.

Early access is and should be about gaining feedback from your playerbase and putting that towards continued development for the game. I’m not saying that bugs are unacceptable in early access - but it’s definitely not supposed to be a rubber stamp to release a buggy mess. It’s not supposed to be the entire point of…

Yeah but it still needs to be called out. Like, this is a useful preview to me specifically because a big question I have with any early access thing is “Is it an EA that feels like a good but unfinished build or is it buggy to the point of being frustrating?”. It’s something I want to know and helps me decide when I…

Even when it comes to Early Access, there’s an expectation that the game would be, you know, playable. Since you’re paying money to play the game, the level of bugs shouldn’t overtly get in the way of being able to enjoy the experience.

It still needs to be driven home though. This is an experience that, unlike a Dead Cells or Hades, can be messed up by some bad bugs. We’ve been treated to some very smooth Early Access periods lately, but it’s important to remind people that not all games turn out this way.

It’s like a microcosm of MAGAtards. 

I’ll never understand these Twitch lemmings who are so willing to do all this shit because their favorite streamer - who couldn’t give less of as shit about them - gets into a spat with other streamers.

I fully agree with you. if my tattoos are copyright of the people who did them I am pissed.

Small difference: you aren’t profiting from displaying the work. Take Two profits from those images being sold as part of the game.

Remember, folks, many of your fellow citizens are selfish psychopaths who would rather you or your loved ones needlessly suffer and die, than they have to do without a petty luxury for themselves.

Unfortunately, the Maine wedding has shown us that the people who bear the worst consequences may be those who had nothing to do with the original bad decision.

If it were that simple, yeah. But actually it means your grandma dies or your younger brother has heart complications the rest of his life because the dumb can’t not be dumb.

not to mention, this is one of the shittier cons

both in terms of offerings and management

It’s not a good deal but it’s the price of the technology. NVME 4.0 drives are around this price point so this isn’t a cut and dry case of Microsoft money gouging. Options for the PS5 will be around the same cost. These prices will go down over time, but for now, this is the price of cutting edge storage.

That’s just the cost of the technology, which is still incredibly new. A comparable speed/size drive for a desktop costs about the same.

This system they have currently, which is tantamount to a feeding frenzy, only benefits scalpers and bot-users. These companies are essentially just firing a starter pistol and having everyone dive into a pool of very limited pre-orders to duke it out. It’s chaos and absolutely maddening for average consumers who…

Everybody keeps calling this “FOMO” but it’s really more of an instant vs. delayed gratification thing, right? FOMO is more of a social thing, you fear missing out on fun that others are having. This is mostly just, I’d rather have this thing/experience sooner, but it’ll still be there later.

What is it like, soaring so far above the rabble while also being inside of your own ass?
