If your game relies on matchmaking, more players makes that problem way harder to solve. The best way to reduce queue times is to reduce players.

Just play The Outer Worlds if you haven't already. It's Starfield if they threw out all the parts that didn't work, and it's got a sense of humor, too.

I concur. At least the logos for the bad ones have "EA" in the middle of them so that you know which ones to avoid.

Boy, what a dishonest title for what happened here.

You know how most people never heard of this company or care that it exists? My understanding is that they consult on games to make them more inclusive. So you have a gay character written into a game, perhaps the result of this company's contributions or perhaps not, and then a bunch of people complain that Sweet Baby made the game woke or some nonsense. How did I hear of this? Steam forums became a cesspool for people crying about this company. If Suicide Squad bombs, it's because they consulted with Sweet Baby and went woke. Indiana Jones maybe features a woman in the trailer who looks like more than a damsel in distress? Sweet Baby's doing.

There are a lot of benefits to the sequel model in some circumstances. You get to have every permutation of a game and its versions rather than overwriting previous versions of a game that arguably might be better for their own reasons.

Man, this site on mobile is like psychological warfare. You read a paragraph, and it's interesting, and you scroll down a bit to read more, and they spawn another ad that takes up ever so slightly more of the screen until the article is a postage stamp in the middle like I'm playing Quake on an old machine in 1997.

Well, they finally started appealing to me, because the new crop cares less about trying to survive and more about building stuff.

Also known as the Daisuke Ishiwatari method.

A Linux OS isn't enough either; I know from experience with a GPD Win 2. You really need a distro that is built with gamepad controls at the forefront. There are far too many ways for things to steal focus from the game window or require keyboard input unless you intercept those calls the way Valve does on SteamOS.

I know my resistance probably doesn’t accomplish much

It does. Besides not giving that game your time and money, you're instead putting it in some other game that's making what you want, and they probably need your time and money more to keep doing that.

I can tell you from experience that you'll have a better time with plenty of old Assassin's Creed games by not having the DLC in the picture to affect your opinion of the total package.
