2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

This timing is pretty amusing.
The other day I shared this video (Failure of Battlebit Remastered), which itself was uploaded by its creator only a week ago.
It's great to see the devs coming back to it. Tbh I don't think it's my sort of game personally, but I typically prefer to see projects revisited and restored well instead of abandoned.
Very excited for this! Honestly, I don’t understand all the negativity surrounding the devs going dark. I thought the game was fine the way it was shortly after launch. I don’t really get the need for an unending flow of content and updates.
Because G*mers need a constant stream of news telling them that their current chosen favorite game is actively being worked on lest they forget and "move on" to something else.
I swear, the sheer amount of bullshit (complaining about character models, character pronouns, character creators, literally anything else) I see from gaming communities and subreddits is actually ridiculous. G*mers are literally the most entitled people on the goddamn planet.
Or the developers created a roadmap of updates in 2024 for their early access game then disappeared without any warning and didn't deliver on their promises. It's not the end of the world but writing negative reviews because the developers didn't deliver isn't entitlement.
This happened for me with Back 4 Blood.
Turtle Rock said "Okay, we're done developing content. We'll move on to new things now." And people took that to mean it was a failed, dead, and worthless game. Whereas the active state where they left it was pretty solid, still runs, and I have a lot of fun with it. It just wasn't built to be endlessly live-service.
That's kinda my point with my previous comment. If the devs say they're done working on a game, most g*mers will take that to mean "stop playing our game and find something else" which makes literally zero sense.
You presumably spent money on this, let alone however many hours playing and having fun, and now just because the people who made it say they aren't adding anything new in the foreseeable future you totally drop the game. But I also kinda meant in another sense for stuff that's actively in development.
Take Elder Scrolls 6 for example (or even Cyberpunk 2077): the announcement trailer came out 7 years ago, and yet there have been other projects in the pipeline as well, such as Starfield and other updates for other games. You will get a constant stream of posts from impatient G*mers complaining, bitching and whining, coping and seething about "the fact that there's been no news of Elder Scrolls 6 for years."
My response always has been and always will be "then go make your own game and see how easy it is to make it do all the things you want"
Downvoted for censoring “Gamers”. Go back to TikTok.
I hope the update fixes this bug
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7041
Not sure if it's a proton bug or a game bug but I tried older proton versions it used to work on so I think game update broke it
I will probably reinstall this. Looks like a huge upgrade.
