Yeah - I don't want to be too dismissive. I've read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn't measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man's Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props... But didn't he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.
You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?
No, any business major could tell you they release the game, then lay everyone off and sell the IP for parts!
I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.
But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on... So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.
Whether or not the game needs this anti-cheat feature, players are still finding ways to give other players huge amounts of Samples (a grindable resource with limited amounts included in each mission) and spawn in unreleased equipment and stratagems.
So clearly the GameGuard isn't as useful as it could be.
As someone who bought a new Tesla in February, this is very much true - I'm certainly never going to pay 18-goddamn-thousand dollars for it. I just did my first road trip in the new car and wasn't inclined to spend $200 to try it out. Traffic-Aware Cruise Control was more than suitable.
When they wanted $5k for it, I could imagine the value proposition (though I'd never spend that much), but the current price point is outrageous.
Not sure about this guys - not even Overwatch wants to be Overwatch right now...
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.

I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:
"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"
I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.
