This seems like a major trend with modern management games. Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Cities Skylines... They all have great creative features but they all lack depth and challenge their predecessors had.
Say what you want, but not having your entire party and every NPC you meet thirsting to gobble your dick the moment you meet feels like a positive to me.
Honestly? I'd like to see a second videogame crash. Kill off most of the major publishers, start over from scratch... Ain't happening, but sometimes I wish.
GOG Galaxy is such a massive letdown. The stores plugins are barebones and they barely work, they keep disconnecting all the time, not to mention they didn't deliver most of what was promised (cross launcher chats when?).
Hopefully he's just as annoying to these companies.
