The article could be from 2022 and I’d be as unsurprised as I am now.

I’m doubtful of their GaaS promise after they already added premium skins to the game via twitch drops last month. Time will tell, but I know the gaming industry a little too well to just take their word for it.
I got premium
Don’t expect things to improve after happily paying consecutive ransoms.
The US really is a special case even within just America and really cannot be compared to today’s refugee hotspots like Europe at all. For starters, US culture is very young and mostly made up of invaders and migrants. There is very little native culture still there as it has been assimilated for hundreds of years, mostly by Europeans. On top of that, there have been heavy crackdowns on migrant cultures as well, making it anything but the organically grown culture it often claims to be. And as such I think it is a bad example of how unchecked mass migration can work because it didn’t work for the natives and it didn’t happen for the modern US. It does show that strong migration can lead to great success, though it’s still far less densely populated than Europe even now so a direct comparison is still difficult.
Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
Nobody wants it and if amazon/google/microsoft/facebook would be honest about what it really does, the overwhelming majority would decline it in a heartbeat. But corporations do what corporations do best and consumers take it with a shrug. And I kind of get it. Life is too short to learn about everything and make the most informed choice on everything. Often you just shrug it off and never really use it.
Do you see that biceps? He’s clearly a king.
And you’d be surprised how many people forget that and then are surprised when they’re taken advantage of.
Who said it is? Jesus Christ some of you fand really are like a cult.
I like the free stretchies I get from Ctrl+Z on the DE layout.
What happened in 1997 to make that cut anyway? There are several definitions with their own reasoning. For example the popular one I always use just makes every recent generation last 15 years and makes cuts that are easy to remember. It defines GenX to be born until 1980, Millennials until 1995 and GenZ until 2010. If you’re born in one of those split years, you’re basically part of two generations, though you’re free to feel more attached to one generation over the other. Not that it matters too much anyway. In the end of the day it’s just a time frame to quickly phrase what age group you’re roughly talking about.
You would think they know how to use a browser but in reality they only use apps. TikTok being their preferred search engine speaks volumes.
Luckily you don’t have to believe me because, as I said they essentially take ownership as they have stated here. There are very rare cases where this exception is the case or even possible. I mean this clause doesn’t start with ‘You own your mod, unless…’ for a reason. It starts with pretty much ‘You do not own anything unless…’. Larian are developers, not good samaritans. They’re hoping to get something out of this and given their next game will be even more expensive, I’m sure this little silver mine will come in handy down the line. Just taking a look at the mods that are trending tells you they take ownership of almost everything by default.
I have doubts you will find it in their official mod loader at any point and have to use an external source instead.
Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader and that you can still install external mods despite claims from some players that you can’t.
I’ve seen some wild discourse on the Steam forums in recent days so let me remind you: It will take some time for some mods to be updated so stay patient.
You may also run into issues with the update itself even if you never used mods. Larian is aware and recommends a full re-download and installation which of course can be very frustrating. Maybe it’s worth waiting a couple weeks or months before jumping back into the game.
Read through the documentation of their newly released modding toolkit and find out, I guess.
I’ve lost to faith in several self proclaimed leftists over this that I have followed (not on Twitter) for years. They cannot let go of what they have “built for themselves” there and refuse to accept their own actions have consequences when they wear their blue checkmark with pride like storm troops wore their swastikas back in the 1930s. Everything is a class struggle except when it would impact them. Then it conveniently becomes a mere transaction between them and a provider and you shouldn’t think too much about it because it benefits them. And if it benefits them, it benefits the cause, right? Right???
Welp, it was ‘fun’ while it lasted. Time for everyone to adjust their expectations to much more humble levels than what was promised and move on to the next sceme. After Metaverse, NFTs and ‘Don’t become a programmer, AI will steal your job literally next week!11’, I’m eager to see what they come up with next. And with eager I mean I’m tired. I’m really tired and hope the economy just takes a damn break from breaking things.
I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don’t care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.
Not “if” but “when”. They have you and million others on the hook and already plan their next step to extract more money from you.
