Fair enough!

Honestly, though - "method or mechanic", do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

I missed this - what happened? (Searching now)

Came to say roughly the same thing!

Based on that, then, do you think that the folk complaining about wokeness are always the vocal minority and the reason you see it far more in unpopular games is that there's not a higher ratio of positive reviews to hide the assholes?

Sadly, I think this person is railing against "having more than just white guys featured" (as if that's forced, when you start making games in new locations around the world) rather than the bland Ubi-style open-world map checklist that you might expect to be the sane complaint.

100% agree, other than the ratio of countries that can legitimately create a PSN account (and/or buy the game).

Otherwise, seems just like the Games For Windows live stuff that people didn't love but certainly didn't care this much about.

E.g. Fallout 3, pre-goty.

If a bunch of people are intentionally buying the game, reviewing and refunding without playing it, isn't that the same?

If they're reviewing it negatively and then enjoying the game without refunding, I've gotta laugh.

I have the same problem, and honestly I can just about force the thin side of the floss between my teeth but it'll get stuck sometimes (as the tight part is the top of the tooth), which is just not great.

The brushes, which I was excited for and bought the smallest size of, will only fit under the problem area - and are uncomfy.

So I use them to clean electronics 😅

I'd feel bad for the seventeen folk who managed a platinum through a terrifying grind if that were erased 😅

Excellent write up, though one note - I believe both Judgement and Lost Judgement are available on Steam, at least.

I don't hate it as an answer except in this case where it can be read as "because I'm not like Walz" (who's teetotal, I think), and "we're not the other guy" is just so boring.

Or it might be genuinely down to his like of beer, in which case it's just a bit of a mediocre answer.

Yeah, I enjoyed the ability previously to have an opportunity to paint up a small squad of a random army I wouldn't collect otherwise.

This change not only removes that, but also kills my interest in killteam, to be honest. But I'm someone who liked the customisation from v1, so I'm clearly not the target 😅

I'll be honest, I'm very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn't a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I've frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.

Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a "Pay with Google Wallet" style prompt on a website?

Fair enough.

Thank you for the response!

Just pointing out, once again, that games sold on the Epic store can be different prices to Steam. "Valve uses their market dominance to force the same price across marketplaces" is a nonsensical, incorrect statement.

That's because the versions sold on the company site are for ArenaNet keys, not Steam keys.

The rule is only for selling Steam keys.

As has been pointed out by many other people in this thread, this is untrue.

If you are providing a Steam key, it has to be the same price as Steam. Otherwise, you can set whatever price you want (e.g. if you were selling on both Steam and Epic - like Borderlands 3, which frequently had sales on Epic where the price dropped below the Steam price)

It's even fine to sell your Steam keys at a lower price in another place - as long as you're planning to have a similar sale on Steam at some similar time.

It's OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.

TL;DR: Games sold on Epic could be any price they want. They're no different to Steam, in general, because that's what publishers choose.

I haven't played it in years, how is it doing now in 2024?
