I don't think the tweet is an issue, but the linked page being edited.

Sounds about right. You should add Paradox Interactive as they added a launcher to Across the Obelisk.

Whoever developed the Gollum game?

It was Daedalic Entertainment and their older and more indi titles are fine. Since they closed down their dev team after gollum, I don't think you need to avoid them.

Why CDPR? They just had a single game with a disaster last gen console launch and a kinda rough PC launch, they made up for it in basicly no time and iirc they own Gog the platform without any drm always online crap

it was only in "red flags"?

maybe more of a "never pre-order" type comment?

Wait so Steam is going to require us to create and connect a PSN account?

Who has the Steam link?

E: Here it is

I'm going to try and refund the game. They don't get to change the ToS after sale.

atocci , 1 month ago

Technically they haven't changed the terms, they were very up-front about the requirement for a PSN account. There's been a warning on the Steam page this whole time and it even tells you it's required the first time you open the game. The problem is that they didn't actually follow through on making it a real requirement for 3 months.

They didn't change after sale, they eula roofied you
