Love amplitude and the universe they spanned across their games.

I hope they'll be able to make it work and continue creating great games. :)

Japanese court also tend to privilege big companies...

Same for me, started playing D2 at launch (No console sir wasn't able to play D1). PvE only, PvP when cheese was possible.

Loved the game, the story, the great gameplay and shoot/power feeling.

Stayed in for years but, in indsight I played more and more because I felt I needed to instead of wanted to.

They started vaulting content with shitty excuses, made the game very hard for new players (best way to kill it long term), added monetisation and FOMO left and right.

FOMO finally burned me out before lightfall. Didn't preco and that was the smart thing to do. This extension was simply scandalous: rushed, very poorly written, bad characters (and there wasn't that much of them). It was hastly put together to be able to push final shape and it felt. Quite there and then.

On one hand I'm happy I stopped giving money to a Company that clearly didn't give a fuck to both its players and employees.

On another hand it's a shame because the game was good, art direction incredible, story - even if sometime badly narrated and complicated- was deep and great.

Edit: ah gambit was great, especially with a full team.

I exited with a "lol no" when I saw the state of lightfall. So glad I did.

It's still a shame for the devs. Quite talented people, it's once again a case of major management fuck up and devs paying the bill...

Yeah, completly agree with you.

I tried it again after a 10 years hiatus and... Forgot how good and game is and... how time consuming as well.

I stumbled upon an expression summarising it perfectly: EVE isn't a video game, it's a hobby. Requiring time and dedication.

It was fine during college, but now... Not anymore.

On their blog they explain they initially went for a reboot, but their editor refused to finance it and wanted "just" a remaster.

So they choose to do a remake instead.

Based on what Microsoft themselves said we know: everything will be stored (except edge private session...). They specifically say they don't do content moderation: they log everything.

Did you read the article?

Q. Cool, so hackers and malware can’t access it, right?

A. No, they can.

Q. But it’s encrypted.

A. When you’re logged into a PC and run software, things are decrypted for you. Encryption at rest only helps if somebody comes to your house and physically steals your laptop — that isn’t what criminal hackers do.

As a windows user I'm not delighted by this.

Edit: at this point you must be trolling...

Did you read the article?

This system basically do a character recognition on EVERYTHING the user is displaying and save the results in a very small file not that well protected.

The data is very small (I guess because it's basically text?), seems easy to find. That means the history of all you did on your computer (apparently only for the last three feays by default,but well...) can be stolen at once, in a minuscule file.

I'm not an IT specialist, but I don't see in which world this can remotely be a good idea...

I meant, it just makes things more complicated than "classic" RTS, making the pause even more helpful (giving precise order can be complicated, but I've only tried one control type out of two-ish)

Honestly during the campaign it's really helpful.

Compared to the two previous games, this one require more micro management (or at least benefit from it).

And "other RTS games [requires micro management] as well, without pause": indeed, but playing in full 3D/volume complicate things.

Edit: trying to rephrase for clarity
