    Activision would kill baby to have people want their game so much that it crash Steam server.

    Also the regional pricing is super cheap here($11), this gonna sell 10 millions.

    Edit: in the payment processing screen and it just fail to process. Whelp, it’s 10:30pm here, might as well get it tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

    Edit: so apparently it break every major platform except GOG and Humble. That’s crazy!

      Hot damn, not bad

      But yeah every major studio sees these games and thinks underpaying devs, union busting, and AI garbage are gonna get them there somehow.

      Meanwhile Steam keeps making self-made millionaires who busted ass on a passion project people adore for years. Like the Balatro guy, it makes me happy to think about and I hope he’s doing well.

        Because aaa developers are in the business of the business of making games. As in financing, shuffling money, stock appreciation, selling assets at opportune times, etc… They are no longer interested in making games, they’re trying to make infinite money through an established ecosystem.

        I’m gonna be real with you: I don’t like Dark Souls. It felt poorly designed and obtuse with no payoff. But, it took me a long time to learn it’s completely unconstructive to bash it in places where people are admiring it. Whether I like it or not, other people do.

        If you must, give a word of caution so people know what to expect. “It’s a Metroidvania, I didn’t like it because it’s very black and white, and goes hard on difficulty.”

    Oh. So this might actually be a legit reason to do preorders, lol. I too got caught in payment progressing hell but I finally got it.

      Not preordering is about waiting for reviews and bugfixes, isn’t it? If you’re gonna play on day one regardless, of course pre-order makes sense.
