In Season of Discovery, yes. Not on classic though. It was "just" the equivalent to Warchief's Blessing.

They added a few minor changes such as giving Druids access to a new weapon type and an equivalent buff for Alliance which was previously Horde only and a new Guild UI. Those were all things that were part of Season of Discovery.

There shouldn't be an endless grind, and from what I've seen in other interviews, Larian understands that too. They have a couple things they still want(ed) to work on and then move on to their next project(s).

They definitely shipped a complete product last August. So complete that a lot of the industry, or at least a loud minority, was getting upset at the raised standards (lol). I don't see how any consumer could complain.

Have you tried reading it? It's written so poorly that I really hope no human was involved in this and it's just AI generated garbage.

Now I don't know if they ever changed anything since launch. But if you judged the max speed by the first flying saddle you got you didn't actually experience anything close to max speed. Pals that have their saddles unlocked at a higher level (usually) have a much higher speed when mounted.

I find it wild that, to this day, Windows defaults to opening them in a browser. Windows has an image viewer right there.

Can that image viewer extract text so that a user could easily copy/paste it? I think if whatever pdf I was opening didn't allow me to do that I would be really frustrated.

Remember the people who created malicious libraries that ChatGPT made up and suggested, in the hopes someone would blindly install them? You can do this a lot easier here. Check what websites this tends to hallucinate when typing "google" "youtube" "facebook" etc. and if any of them don't exist yet, register that address and host a phishing version of the corresponding site there.

Same. I had PayPal do an automated charge back because their system thought I was doing something fraudulent when I wasn't. Steam blocked my account.

Talking to support and re-buying said game did fix the issue for me.

Somehow Roblox has become the Metaverse Meta was trying to build...

I'm leaving my review as is. Sony trying this and saying in their tweet that they're "still learning what's best for PC players" does not instill me with enough confidence to give it a thumbs up.

As you mentioned, it's a lot easier to lose trust than to (re)earn it.

There are quite a few other roguelike (or roguelike adjacient) games that do beat it handily. To give a few examples:

DF started development in October 2002 (according to their own website, scroll all the way down.)

UnReal World's first release was in 1992 and is also still getting regular updates.

NetHack has gotten new versions ever since 1987. The latest big change was 3.6.0 in 2015, 3.6.7 came out in early 2023 but there's no reason to believe there won't be a next version. If we count that in 1987 it started as a fork of Hack, we could even add another 3 years in the front as Hack was published in 1984.

Edit: I just realized: In the world of MMORPGs we also have a few examples: Everquest which came out in 2000 and is still getting expansions. Even WoW isn't too far behind with a 2004 release date, which probably means development began before DF's development too.

That was a response I got from ChatGPT with the following prompt:

Please write a one sentence answer someone would write on a forum in a response to the following two posts:
post 1: "You sure? If it’s another bot at the other end, yeah, but a real person, you recognize ChatGPT in 2 sentences."
post 2: "I was going to disagree with you by using AI to generate my response, but the generated response was easily recognizable as non-human. You may be onto something lol"

It's does indeed have an AI vibe, but I've seen scammers fall for more obvious pranks than this one, so I think it'd be good enough. I hope it fooled at least a minority of people for a second or made them do a double take.
