I want freedom. Offer both so everyone can pick the model that best matches their usage pattern. A GamePass+GeForceNow combo is nice if you want to play a diverse library of games without having to install terrabytes of game data. Also if you only want to play stuff a short while (hello ADHD), a subscription might be better than full price.
But again: freedom. I don't want to be forced into subscriptions but neither would I want someone to forbid me from subscribing.
Wann gab's diese Zeit in den letzten Jahrzehnten? Solang ich mich erinnern kann, hatten Leute eher Angst vor rumrennenden Faschos, als dass ich mal gehört hätte, dass irgendwelche Faschos Angst hätten, Linke würden ihnen aufs Maul hauen.
Where comments are useful most is in explaining why the implementation is as it is. Otherwise smart ass (your future self) will come along, rewrite it just to realize there was indeed a reason for the former implementation.
There is a parking garage right under that market. There is a large street right beside it as well. In a radius of 500m there are at least 3 other large parking garages.
I would consider Todd Howard to be part of development (since he directs the creative and narrative angle, from what I understand).
He defended bad performance with "get better hardware". He defended criticism of the content with "you play the game wrong".
Both are bullshit "excuses". The first one was even debunked by modders who showed that there was potential for optimization. And modders are far more limited than engine devs. The game doesn't look ugly, but there are far better looking games with more scene complexity out there that run better.
And "you play it wrong" is bullshit because if enough people play it wrong to have an effect on the rating of the game, then the game is badly designed. Part of game design is making sure the game explains itself or subtly pulls players in the right direction. Either they failed with that, or there simply is no clear direction. But that's not the players fault.
Yeah but businesses typically don't go out and rub that in their customers faces. That's basically what most of the complaints are about: Bethesda should just shut the fuck up and swallow their pride. Is some/most of the stuff people throw at them unfair? Likely. Is it completely unwarranted? No. Should they defend it? Also no.
I can second that. Valheim has a very neat balance between exploring, fighting and building. If you don't progress to quick, even your base is relatively safe. Although I now have turned off raids completely. So my base is always safe and if I want action, I can venture out into the world. I like that.
