I never really bought a lot of Ubisoft games because of their poor practices and buggy games, but the thing that pushed me over the edge never to buy from them again was with Anno 1404.

They took Anno 1404, made a few tweaks (the largest of which was some higher resolution support iirc), and released it as a new game, Anno 1404 history edition. They then delisted the original game on steam and made the two incompatible for multiplayer.

So if I wanted to play a game I already own with a friend who didn’t own it before they delisted it, I would have to buy the game a second time. It would only be $15 to buy it, but it was a massive “fuck you” to everyone who owned the game

In my experience, this is unfortunately quite common at universities.

The last one? It’s the gamma function

And a lot of the work over the last 10 years has been repeatedly reworking the same core systems. So it’s just different rather than significantly better. They have made improvements, but it’s somewhat diluted by the side grades

The thing in front of it looks like a Logitech g13 programmable game pad.

In a car a seatbelt is useless most of the time. You wear it for those rare situations where bad things happen.

Disclaimer: this is going off of memory of a thread I read a while ago. Inaccuracies are guaranteed.

I will look for the thread which discussed it, but for WH3 some claimed that it was a result of the Nvidia cards trying to use too much memory at once when loading into a save. There was some launch option you could set to avoid it or you could turn down the graphics settings before loading in and turning them back up once loaded into the campaign map. Doesn’t help for MP where you’re stuck at the lower graphics settings the whole time (but at least the game will still run)

I’ve also used miraheze (https://miraheze.org)

I’d highly recommend the Talos Principle 2 demo. It’s a puzzle game (I believe it is called a “puzzle platformer”)

That’s a section of a watermark I think
