Honestly, it’s almost a drop-in replacement as far as UX is concerned. The challenge is the lack of existing communities, which could be overcome if a whole community joined.

Well, I hope that Revolt/Stoat picks up most people.

Have we considered that if we go back in time, only give things to peasants and common people? It’s best if we never try to act top-down. Give the normal folks the means to revolt first.

I was never expecting an SC2 after Brood War, honestly. I was hoping that if Ghost succeeded, either they’d expand their 40K ripoff into other genres and let the WHFB knockoff fizzle out, or they would see that people did want games other than RTS games that are obviously GW properties with the serial numbers filed off, and maybe look back at old games like Blackthorne or The Lost Vikings. Maybe they could even have created a Rock N’ Roll Racing 2.

Instead, we got a “not-WHFB” game in the EverQuest mold and more click-wait-click games with cow levels.

That’s funny, whenever people do that, I just assume they wouldn’t sell without making a profit. And unless it’s immediately valuable to me, I don’t buy.

Are you forgetting StarCraft:Ghost?

Batman doesn’t always wear black. There’s a time and a place for everything.

Well, I assume you played the first game.

So, good luck, Hacker. You’ll need it.

No, paint 'em blue, they’ll be luckier.

I can’t help it. I live here.

That’s in the desktop environment.

Does the early reveal hit as hard as it did the first time?

I’m telling you this as a local: that’s not going to work. It’s not about making the government uncomfortable. The government are ambivalent.

It’s twofold: East Rutherford, in majority, are NIMBYs when it comes to this issue. The residents don’t want people walking to the stadium through their town. And just as important, the owners and operators of the Meadowlands make a huge amount of their money off the parking. It’s private property, and they don’t want people coming in without paying.

Based on what I know, I doubt there’s been any lawsuits. But you should have taken the 703, since it sounds like you last went there before they put in that train extension.

It’s 100% real, and it’s 100% legal. It’s New Jersey.

Free? No. But you can take the NJTransit 703, or take the train from Rutherford to Secaucus, and connect to the rail line from there.

There’s a train station there with a limited run from Secaucus Junction. And they’re not going to “fix” it. They want their parking fees, because that and the concessions are how the venues make most of their money.

I live three towns away from Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands. Aside from my view that the whole thing should be destroyed, the foundations should be ripped out, and the land should be returned to the swamp and protected…

Yeah, there’s only about three hotels that have anything like a (very dangerous) walking route to the Meadowlands, and they’re all small. The best ways to get there are either by bus (there’s 2 routes that go there), or the new rail they put in. So I’m going to say the same thing I said when they held that stupid sportsball thing and wrecked half our roads: do not come here. Now, with constant or near-constant ICE activity around, if you’re not local with a support network, I have to be more vehement: absolutely avoid this area.

Stay away. Do not come here for any reason at any time. If you must come because it’s life-or-death, come in, do what’s necessary, and leave immediately.

How about a different pattern;

• Figure out what your breakeven is - in other words, how much money you need to make to recoup salaries, licenses, and generally keep the lights on.

• Put out a free demo (and I mean free - no DRM either). See how many people download it within a month or so.

• Project the production budget for the next game.

• Price based on a 2% retention rate of the demo downloads to accommodate breakeven + next game + 5% profit for op-cap.

Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Mine is more:

$0.00: Is it FOSS, or is it on GOG? Is it DRM-free? Cool. (see: Luanti/MineTest, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Beyond All Reason, FreeCiv, FreeOrion, Remnants of the Precursors, Endless Sky, The Ur-Quan Masters, Mindustry, Jill of the Jungle Trilogy, etc)

$0.01+ - $4.99: Is it in eXo? I’ll get it that way.

$5+: I can’t imagine buying it if there’s anything either in the FOSS category or in eXo that does the same thing.

And 99% of the time, if there isn’t, straight to torrents.
