Hell the first Elder Scrolls game Arena is only 17 years before Skyrim.

I just learned of it today and was checking out their dev blog and it went back to 2011??? That’s crazy.

So which is it? Can they confirm or deny?

Until the AI generating the content starts hallucinating.

Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.

It would be nice if there was a link to the game somewhere, unless I’m overlooking it…

Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”

This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.

TLDR: Yes

I played the Beta. It had somewhat of an interesting gimmick, but the rest didn’t feel very polished. Granted, that was the Beta.

Comparing it to FragPunk which shortly followed, Fragpunk just felt better. I’ve been enjoying it since its release.

Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.

Perhaps a model like itch.io offers. Each product can set a price or have a “pay what you want” model. I feel some would be more likely to give money if it’s right up front.

But the biggest part that I think we need, is a centralized location, store or not. Sometimes it’s hard to find if an open source alternative even exists because it could be on Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, etc.

Just a PSA, never ever EVER request deletion of an Oracle free tier if there is any possibility you might want one in the future.

You can delete/remove instances or whatever as you desire, but you won’t be able to get a second free tier account even if the first is completely deleted.

To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.

I have really being enjoying it, granted, I didn’t actually buy it. Just playing through Game Pass. I was definitely watching for it and started checking it out Day 1.

Is it GotY? Nah, but there haven’t been many recent games that I’ve enjoyedn as much.

I have an RTX 3080 Ti working beautifully on EndeavourOS (Arch based).

Ah well I’m glad to see the devs sticking to their passions. I’m sure they’re proud of this move.

With that said, I’m still surprised EA didn’t try to capitalize on it somehow.

Just in general. EA has a lot to around for.

Perhaps why this feels like them trying to save face.

Oh man, I thought the same. I never saw the movie but I read the trilogy. I stumbled across them in a used book fair and something made me want to get them. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Sorry, I was stating that “much like their laptops, I like the idea of these desktops.” I was not trying to insinuate that they themselves are alike.
