Iirc you do not need one to play it, only to use cloud saves. It has been a year or two since I did my play through so take that with a grain of salt though.

Pretty spicy take, imho.

Mine launched fine.

Well yeah, but not every dev and company is ConcernedApe. I reckon the same can be said of Balatro dev, and Team Cherry, and a few others. It’s awesome for them who can afford to do this, but that’s definitely not the norm. Most companies can’t afford to sit on a project for 8 years without releasing a product.

That would be nice in a perfect world but bills need to be paid. I’m not defending crunch time, but not every project can afford to be “ready when it’s ready”. I don’t think many companies would survive like that.

Hm do you cook chocolate?

Fucking gross.

I don’t praise billionaires.

Ubisoft has been scrambling for weeks now and it just seems to keep going.

Yes, I established that was an exaggeration for effect. 👍

Fingers crossed. EU seems like the last sane place on the planet sometimes.

I mean, Steam cloud saves only work with Steam, no?

What did you mean by this?

That I love my partner very much.

Yeah, I understand Linux gaming was not great until fairly recently. Heroic and Lutris have been around for a few years now as I understand it, though I admit I’m still new to the scene. Honestly though, in my experience, Steam still doesn’t just work in some cases, and I’ve admitted to myself that’s just going to be the Linux gaming experience. I check Proton DB before buying any game now.

And yet you decided to continue this thread by saying that you weren’t exaggerating.

In fact, I never said that.

Is there any launcher that doesn’t offer free cloud saves these days?

(not neglecting that Stream normalized it, for the record)

Of course the %age I used was an exaggeration. Sorry, was this conversation being driven by the assumption that it wasn’t? I exaggerated to make my point.

I think you drastically underestimate how much I love my partner.

I have family in the States I refuse to visit. Not like, distant cousins, I mean siblings.

I wouldn’t say it’s an anxiety, I’d say it’s a cost-benefit analysis I’ve done and decided that having cell service to catch a potential emergency call is more important to me than that one extra level of privacy like OP. Hell, I don’t want to miss a call even if it isn’t an emergency. I love my partner and want to talk to them any chance I can get; if they’re calling I want to answer.
