Wait, wasn’t there a crazy detailed leak about an AC game set in Rome? Was that just some elaborate fanfiction or something, because to me it made a hell of a lot more sense than a vikings setting.

You sound like one of those people who always shout “Why are you wasting money on DLC when you have bugs to fix???” at the developers whenever a new game comes out.

Steam was absolute BS when it first came out. It barely worked, and people were rioting because they couldn’t even play Half-Life 2, the game they bought a physical copy of, without Steam crapping out - which it did, a lot. Compared to Steam’s first year Epic is a goddamn masterpiece of functionality. 

Sad, but true. Remember when all the Konami shit was going down in 2015 and gamers were swearing left and right to never buy another Konami game again?

“This affects me in absolutely no way, but it’s time to boycott!”

Sorry, what game can you buy a year after release for $5 with season pass? How have I been missing these sales???

The only right response. 

These are some good concerns, but like you said - not exactly new. There are many games which seem downright impossible to preserve. Not too long ago I tried to play Comrades, the FFXV multiplayer, only to find myself physically unable to because no one was playing. The game plain and simple does not let you attempt…

If Stadia is, indeed, the “Netflix of games”, allowing you to browse a huge catalog of old and new titles and play them immediately for a very reasonable subscription price ($5-10/mo), then yeah, I can see it being huge. Anything else is doomed to failure. I don’t really know anyone dumb enough to buy a game they can…

Because people are way too attached to their Steam collections and associate them with Steam in general.

While I definitely agree that having another games launcher won’t “bring back piracy” or whatever, I can tell you for a fact that piracy has decreased significantly in the past few years, at least for games. I don’t know how things were in America, but over here in Eastern Europe up until this decade NOBODY bought…

All this is going to do is put piracy back on the map in full force, which is eventually going to come back around to screw over everyone.

“I’m standing up for myself, and that’s more than a lot of you cave dwellers can say.”

Honestly, when I saw the $6k/mo Patreon I thought “this feels WAY too low”. Some mods make twice that. Hell, YouTubers who release 1-2 videos a month AT BEST make 2-3 times that. Dwarf Fortress is one of the biggest games of its kind, it should easily be making $10-15 k on Patreon. Hopefully the Steam version will…

but I would like to option to remove it entirely.

The DLCs were developed by a different studio than the main game. My personal guess (which is just speculation) is that the DLC was written/pitched before Ubi Singapore (who made it) were informed of the Atlantis ending.

This isn’t a story about assassins. Just ignore the name and think of it as a standalone RPG about a mercenary in ancient Greece, which just so happens to be set in the AC canon. Just like Watch_Dogs.

Okay, guys, get the memo: From now on RPGs with stories about parenthood are forbidden because ns930 doesn’t “want this shit forced on [them]”. Anyone who writes a parent character in an RPG will now be sent directly to the guillotine, I won’t warn you again!

Yeah, the DLC’s story really works a hell of a lot better if you go the route of Alexios/Kassandra falling in love with Darius Jr and consensually having a child with them. It’s obvious that this is how the story was intended by its author.

Let players choose the partner themselves. There’s a bunch of characters elligible from the main game which will enhance player’s unique experience. It doesn’t even have to be super fleshed out.
