Nah. He just tried some good ol fashion market manipulation by saying he would by Twitter in public. And since he had a non-significant amount of shares he was basically forced into the deal or being caught red handed doing illegal stuff openly. Plain old greed + stupidity.
You are not wrong, but remember that they only employ like 40-50 people. Even if the playerbase goes down to 10% of what it is that's still not a lot of people.
I've felt this way since I last played in update 4.... Huh, another update coming soon? Might as well wait! Was planning on trying update 8, buuut we'll see about that I suppose haha
If you do like Wheel of Time it's always worth giving Brandon himself a shot as well. He's busy writing his own universe called Cosmere. It's got a few different series based on different planets and magic systems that can mostly be read as standalones, but they are also connected in... let's just say 'certain ways' for now. Mistborn is a popular starting point. Personally I think 'Emperor's Soul' is better if you want to try out his writing style, since it's only about 100 pages or so.
Yes and yes! At least for me. I've only got a 1060 6GB, but it managed 30-40 fps on medium in most places, which felt fine to me. I've heard that it's the higher end cards that have been having problems though, so can't comment on how that is now.
I have pirated a few games due to cost, since my SO is studying at the moment, and one of us has basically always been on parental leave the last 3.5 years. I bought both Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 when I could afford it though, since both of them brought me more than 100 hours of fun.
I agree with bitwaba. You'll get the most out of the experience if you finish the first one. Easiest difficulty and only focusing on the story should get you through it in a couple of hours.
Edit: But also, if you really don't want to there is a recap in the beginning of Survivor that I believe will catch you up ok. (not 100% if that's enough to bring you up to speed, it's been a couple of weeks since I saw it)
I finished Jedi: Survivor last week. The story was really good, and all the systems are basically better than the first one. Definitely worth a playthrough.
Then I started playing Against the Storm (going in basically blind, only knowing it's a roguelike city builder), and boy it's fun. The only negative so far is that the rounds can take some time (1-2h if I'm unlucky) and I don't always have time for a full run since I've got two kids taking up the biggest chunk of my day.
Yeah. For example, Strongman gives a 2 page loop.
