  • As long as people can host a server instance, does it matter?

    Hypothetically, even if it costs 1000$ per hour in AWS fees to get the required hardware to run that, at least you have the option to, alternatively have a peer to peer option to play smaller version on a LAN with a max of however many players your own network can support, there could be many implementations, which at the end of the day would still allow you to play the game when the official servers (authentication or room hosts) are shuttered and inaccessible

    The main point of SKG is that currently, we, as customers, are not even getting the short end of the stick, we are getting no stick, despite having paid for it.

    And ultimately, at the end of the day, not our problem to try to figure this out, the point is we’re unhappy with the current situation and want things to change.

    Also note that none of this is retroactive, will only apply to games released in the future, so having an end of life plan as a requirement from the get-go is pretty simple to work on when nothing was done yet.






  • Bit of an odd question, but did you try booting it from a USB on that machine and see if it worked alright for a few days with what you wanted it to do? Typically if it works fine from the bootable usb, it shouldn’t really have any issues installing unless your drive is copy protected or something, especially if it’s Mint like you mentioned below, also I’d recommend poking their forums if you haven’t yet, somebody might be able to shed more light on what’s wrong with specific errors and behaviours



  • I agree that it’s rather unique blend of a walking simulator and does explore death and loss through an extremely lengthy story that has some touching moments, however the slog of the “meat” of the game is absolutely not worth it to get to the core of it all.

    If you’re interested, I recommend watching the “game movie” on YouTube, where they just show the dialogues and skip almost all of the walking, granted even then you’d probably want to skip/fast forward through a massive chunk of it all where it’s the same animations over and over again. (Such as the load/unload/qpid sequence, etc)
