Why? There are plenty of proper games that benefit from early access, and plenty of people that enjoy early access.
simple
The greenlight system wasn't any better, all it did was gatekeep indie developers while still being easy to manipulate.
I thought this was about the official live-action movie in the works.
This project earned $24k? That's incredibly stupid. Who the hell would try funding this when Nintendo have made it VERY clear they will take down anything with their IP attached.
"It was a possibility that the team was always braced for" my ass. They knew it would get taken down but wanted to get the money first.
Dial-up internet. I would open a website and go do something else for a minute until it loads, then fight with my parents when they pick up the phone when I've been downloading something for 3 hours.
I haven't delved into it much but the big change this time is that as eras change, so do leaders. So you can change from one leader to another mid-game for different bonuses and strats.
Also the "born too late to explore" also implies that people totally would've been free explorers back then.
Chances are you were going to be stuck in a village for your entire life tending to a farm, or die at age 17 with an arrow in your face in the middle of an army.
Especially in a game like Civ. it's hard to know how people feel about it until a week or so later. I remember when Civ 6 was said to be the best game in the series on release, but after spending some time with it, it was lacking. Reviews like these are more of a first impressions.
100% disagree with the guy saying it's not necessary. AW2 is a direct sequel of the first game, if you don't at least watch a summary online you wont understand most of the story.
Yes, however the risk mentioned in the article is that it might get de-listed too.
Isn't this just going to be taken down as soon as the publisher sends a DMCA?
Same here. If you build up layers of oil and stuff on the basket it's never coming out. It's not a big deal IMHO.
I remember being so happy that outage happened because they gave away free games. That's how I got to play LittleBigPlanet for the first time.
