There's been so many doom releases so often that I haven't bothered with them, and couldn't say what new stuff/features each had.

Maybe if they were separated and properly advrtised they'd be something.

I mean GTA6's outstanding features is that ot took over a decade to make.

I’ll forgive for not using a piefed/pylova client/FE, but this isn't a gaming thread, it's a ghazi thread. It’s tagged `#exploitation,#worker abuse,#worker rights”
I’m pointing out how management abused developers, and robbed them precious family time. Development crunches are a failure in leadership. If you haven't been following id recent controversies, I’ll forgive you too. But workers were also all laid off.

Laid off a day before the expansion releases. Industry needs to change.

Yeah, and I'm saying taking more time also helps the quality of the games that produce.

I'm so happy I kinda suspected this game wouldn't be worth playing and didn't get excited for it. I really liked 2016 and Eternal, but seeing how much they were gonna stray from the best parts of those games turned me away from it (also the shit with Mick Gordon was a huge red flag to begin with)
