I know of Techland but had to remind myself of what they’ve made .. Some recognizable names:
Call of Juarez
Dead Island
Dying Light 1 & 2

Doesn’t feel great to hear about Tencent doing this with any company.

I don’t think Threads is federating with anything yet. Still a “we really intend to do this” todo for them, I believe.

These three must be the standard/favorites across the board.

The few places that make these around me have the exact same ones.

No shit, HAH.

A few months ago I saw an ad for it and thought “didn’t this come out already?”
That has happened a few times.

Always great to have options!

I’ll have to watch the whole video later, but just based on what I’ve read, this is one of my favorite things in games.

Continuously realizing “oh wow I actually was able to go there” and seeing where you’ve come from and where you may still be able to go, is great.

Elden Ring was the most recent title to do this for me, and I think From has consistently been able to do that.

I’d be surprised if it was any better than that.

Was there any indication something like this was coming?

Also, I only learned last 1-2 months during the API fiasco that Reddit had some weird NFT thing going on.. Are they just trying to find anything that will stick?

I played enough to get through the first battle pass while it was the only one out, but stopped right after the 2nd one was released.

I think what I really wanted was more maps, but everything was pretty rough around the edges.
That along side people finding some pretty glaring issues with their netcode that really dampened my interest.
