Seems the general discussion burries what I sense is perhaps the more agregious part; LTTs business ethics.
It is inexcusable to become too big or too busy to care about how you represent those you partner with. Steve poiniently outlined significant instances where LTT took actions that negatively and unfairly impacted the vendors that expected more of a partnership in the exchange.
The Madison info just heaps onto the poor business practices.
I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. It was one of the first games I played after getting my first voodoo card. It felt like I was experiencing the bleeding edge of tech.
Thinking about it, i can’t remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.
More on topic, yes everyone should own it. I think I bought a steam or GOG bundle and got all the doom and quake games for like $5-$10 or something like that.
I hope they win. I fear they probably won’t.
It’s too bad banished always turns into a hectic click management game once the community gets to a self supporting size. Migrants show up and you expand for them… And then you get to run through the same operations every season, setting fields for plant and harvest, prioritizing workers and resources. It gets repetitive and the reward for getting bigger is just more clicking and more management.
We even “upgraded” to teams voice from a local PBX. Really great having calls drop and fail to connect.
I had to setup folks with a script clear teams cache when it acts up.
