    Tim Cope. "Noo, Vault Tec didn't launch the nuke! The chalkboard's timeline was unreliable! Even if I'm wrong, all the previous games also retcon aspects of their previous ones!"

    Some did. I'd say most did not. There was a massive political shitstorm in the mid-90s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993–94_United_States_Senate_hearings_on_video_games Politicians freaked out about Night Trap, a campy fmv game with no blood or gore or nudity, simply because it depicted...

    Game News Kingdom Come: Deliverance II announced, coming this year

    Those games were released at a time when all potential buyers were core gamers. The potential audience has significantly expanded and now includes a lot of people who are incredibly thick, don't pay too much attention.

    Game News Kingdom Come: Deliverance II announced, coming this year

    Sure, you recognize it. But how many normies would recognize Kingdom Come (with or without a 2): Different Subtitle as a sequel to Kingdom Come Deliverance? It's easier to just not have to deal with that possibility.

    Sawyer's not hung up on policing that kind of thing.

    Game News Kingdom Come: Deliverance II announced, coming this year

    That causes unnecessary confusion. No One Lives Forever was a subtitle for The Operative but instead of The Operative 2: Different Bond-like Subtitle there was far more brand recognition in just calling it No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in HARM's Way

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Both. A few people on a forum, congrats. It was. Bioware promoted Dragon Age: Origins as the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. Obsidian also had a very successful Kickstarter regarding a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate (and all those other lesser known Infinity Engine games). Beamdog...

    The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    You're locked out if you don't correct your mistake and slaughter them. :) A ruthless manager isn't going to allow you to fuck up and leave your fuck up to maybe get fixed later. You fix it now or you're gone. "These people are so stupid that I the Player Character can easily be in charge...

    Yeah, that's middle managers for you. It's not negligence, it's a problem that can only be solved by the best and brightest minds who all happen to be frozen. And she's more than rude, if you send the power to the lab she only takes on a handful of the people from the town and sends the rest to...

    The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    Ah right. But it's the same thing, it's quite schizophrenic for you to side against the obvious wishes of The Board and think they'll be fine with your decision. My impression of the town is that it was run by a guy who had to make hard choices just to survive. And Parvati, the pet character...

    How many people are going to instill granarchist as the town leader? You have to go out of your way to do it. For some reason TOW didn't bother to do any faction specific achievements so there's no way of telling what the ratio is.

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    I don't know anyone who played Diablo on Playstation. Seems like the reviews for it were middling as well? https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/03/28/diablo Who the hell cares about console gamers? The vast majority of console players were literally small children. The PC game core demographic...

    You put the granarchist in charge of the town and you thought The Board would be okay with that?

    Baldur's Gate Larian is moving away from D&D, no BG3 DLC or BG4

    Pretend it's the year 1998 or 1999. The top two crpgs in existence are Diablo and Baldur's Gate. Diablo is not significantly more successful than Baldur's Gate. It's only true that BG2 hit the crpg ceiling while Diablo 2 raised it a bit. They couldn't completely fix it. "Using a round-based...
