No there isn't. Companies are incentivised to extract as much money as possible from any given buyer. There is never a "this is enough money, I won't charge you more" situation. Inevitably every buyer will become a non-buyer, because they were outpriced.

Competition should solve this issue, but it doesn't work in media because there's no two rights holders for star wars content, or marvel content, or whatever. So services cannot compete on the same content, because the rights holders simply won't let them.

Copyright is a pest.

Ah, I didn't catch that. I would like to think they'd only add things with a good purpose, e.g. better early game experience.

The golden ball thingy in the bottle village? That's this floating "cage pyramid" where you can go up with a swing like elevator. I'm lacking the words to describe it better.

It seem I forgot most of Ghens world tho.

If that was in the original game (which I did play it a couple of times) I absolutely don't remember it.

You're right of course about the limits of the point and click and forced view nature of the game. A lot is hidden / cannot be explored as thoroughly.

It looks pretty right to me. I'll probably pick it up (after already having the original and the steam version).

There seem to be some changes / additions to the original game? For example I don't remember the house/dome thing on the giant tree stump (~30s) or the tree (at the end of the trailer).

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation!

Slightly off-topic, please excuse the question:

I'm new to Fedora (and Linux Desktop in general) and saw the update for 40 yesterday. Is it save to simply hit the update button and let it do the update, or should I take any precautions, or anything afterwards which is expected to reset (settings, applications, etc? idk).

Data and such is savely backed up. That's not a concern.

Double edged sword, but yeah.

Acquisitions don't need to pay for themselves. Ideally they do, but sometimes it's enough if they just help the company's main business stay in business, or grow.

IBM is making $30bn+ in gross profit each year.

I understand the decision, but for me it's a problem. I want to play it, but after all those years I really long for more variety.

As a middle way they could make new industries optional. Or release them as recommended NewGRFs like they did with some of the graphics, audio and such in the past.

[–] AAA@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Do they still not add new industries to the base game? I played this game a lot - like A LOT. But the amount of base game industries are really sad to look at, and there's not that many of expansions either. So you end up playing FIRS industries all the time.
