From what I understand, it does not get kernel access on Linux. That's why the game wouldn't run the first couple of days. After they patched it, it just makes a web call and lets you play the game.
BG3 was in development for 6 years, had a huge budget, and a development studio with experience making RPGs.
You can't expect a small, indie studio to match that when they've only had... Jesus 9 YEARS?!?!
Oh yeah, making it an FPS was a weird choice. But that wasn't a dig at the 1999 game, but at Red Eagle Entertainment, the group that announced and never made several video games over the years. Also responsible for the lousy attempt at adapting WoT as comics (which took 5 years to release 8 comics)... oh, AND the Winter Dragon TV pilot.
Never mind, my comment was almost entirely aimed at Red Eagle.
The Wheel of Time and licensing their IP rights to hack-frauds, name a more iconic duo.
Music, video games, comics, the Canadian TV pilot... I don't like the Amazon show, but at least it was actually you know, produced.
I agree with the CEO, wait. It's not worth getting right now.
...and if you don't buy it, maybe I can get through the damn queue.
It's also been great to see new affordable entry-level equipment become available. I had a friend finally get an espresso machine a few months ago, and I was able to point him to the Fellow Opus, which is only $195 ( and was on sale for $150).
To your point on "When to invest?" - there are certainly things this grinder could do better, but he has yet to hit a real problem in his coffee making. So sure, an $800 grinder might have fewer fines or more micro-adjustments, but that's not really offering any value to him at the moment.
After the Helldivers 2 release Sony started talking about getting more aggressive with PC releases, so I think we're going to see a lot less console only releases.
All the gameplay I saw on release did not look quality. It simply did not seem fun to play, you can hit all the feature check boxes, but if your game is just a bunch of blinding particle effects it's going to get panned.
