Which is?

I'm asking for 2 reasons: 1st is that I simply don't know which one you're talking about as I've seen different interpretations of that word. 2nd is that I don't think people would be arguing as much if the definition was that clear-cut.

Apparently, the performance in the game is miles better than what's in the spec requirements

But I agree. What the hell were they thinking with that 15 to 30 FG?

With NMS, there was also a case of massive overpromising. It's a fuckup of Sean Murray, which he did learn a lot from, so kudos to him.

Afaik, what happened is they had certain systems being developed that were planned to be in the game but ultimately got cut. He, on the other hand, was talking to the media as if they were coming. That all was technically not a lie, because at the time they were coming. But if you cut them before release, it sure as hell will result in a massive disappointment. And it sure doesn't help that they lied about multi-player being in the game after the release.

Many of the systems did eventually come with updates. Nowadays, it's pretty much the game they promised.

It has its issues, but I don't regret playing it. It was fun, and I still hop on sometimes to check out new expeditions.

Oh, it's already been more than a year since Destiny players hopped to Warframe.

Destiny 2's online has not been what it used to be for quite a while now. And why would it be when Bungie managed to break the main gameloop and then proceed to not fix it until literally the final update of the game?

Personally, I call such studios AA. They are too large to be indies, yet to small to be AAA.

Expedition 33 creators, for example, would also fall under AA, even though they're a very young studio.

Indie, to me, would be a studio of a couple people, of a one single team. Like with the creators of Hollow Knight. So, it's about internal structure rather than budgets or involvement of publishers.

Out of curiosity, is there any other reason for 128GB other than "just to max it out"?

Because if you don't actually need it, you'd get better performance with 64GB or 48GB due to being able to use higher clock speeds. (Depends on the CPU)

This screams: "I don't want to parent my kids, so let the government do it instead, and do it to me too along the way."

Do you really not see how that takes away your own agency? Both in terms of raising your kids and your own privacy.

Why not?

It's something that benefits both Android and Apple users by removing unnecessary restrictions.

I don't see how that would be the case.

PEGI is used as a way of informing buyers (parents) about the contents of the game.

It doesn't prohibit them from allowing their kids to play, say, an R-18 game. The agency's still there. It's not like a mandatory age verification where your kids are disallowed from using the service completely even when you yourself allow them to.

Guess I won't be bying that one.

What a shame, and I actually wanted to.

Ironic, considering the trailer is one of the things that was heavily criticized.

It looked very generic and didn't tell you much about the game.

I believe it was also revealed at some point that it was thrown together in a very short period of time because they didn't expect to need it then.

Wabajjack mod lists are deffinetly a must try, something like Enderal or LoreRim

I'd also check out a game called "The forgotten city". Haven't played it myself, but I did play the Skyrim mod it was based off of, and the story was solid, I liked it a lot. Or just try the mod itself.
