Pouting about "incomplete" games comes across as incredibly naive. There is no such thing as a finished game in modern game development. Games are abandoned when it is no longer economically viable to continue development versus working on something new. The only reason why we had "feature and content complete" games in the past was because there was no easy way to update them pre-internet.
With yesterday's release of Cyberpunk on the Switch 2, there's a significant incentive to continue updating the game. And they'll very likely release enhanced versions again for the next PlayStation and Xbox.

Complaining about game updates and patches is fighting a battle that was lost 30 years ago.

We've been exploring it for decades already and barely scratched the surface. Properly done, five systems can be plenty. And the big complaint about the systems in ED and NMS is that they are largely the same and very shallow.
Elite Dangerous - 400 billion star systems
No Man's Sky - 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets
X4: Foundations - 400 to 450 star systems
Star Citizen - 5 star systems
And just a reminder that it's been 28 years since Chris Roberts finished and shipped a game that he directed.
I was admittedly shitposting about the scope and was not trying to be serious or fair. But the optics of promising 100 star systems and pairing it down to 5 looks bad.

I've been pissed off about this since my $30 Kickstarter pledge 12 years ago. But no longer. It was my own damn fault anyway for thinking that Chris Roberts had changed his ways since Freelancer.
Now I'm just sitting back and waiting for the whole thing to implode. I'll have my popcorn ready.
but did it go up in value? I bet that $30 starter package goes for $3500 today.
I checked out of curiosity and a Digital Scout is selling for $250 on some third party website.

I wanted to like it when it came out but just couldn't get into a dark, cramped, corridor shooter. The design was outdated compared to the large map team based fps games of the time. Their competition had moved on.

They can be secret all they want. Advertising a job as involving sexual content is required. I'm surprised they haven't been sued. There's no excuse for this.
sound like you are making that up. but whatever. I'm sure it is a "come do a job...now you have to do this unwanted part. no? okay bye and no pay....next!" someone will do it.
So actors have no rights whatsoever? Stop complaining and just do the explicit sex scene we never told you about or else?
No impressions yet because they are currently blocking Steam Deck users from matchmaking and that's the only system I have access to right now.
I'll probably try it on my regular PC later this week.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I just received an invite for this non-existent game.
I'm willing to bet that they won't be able to salvage this.
Paradox needs to rethink their entire approach before these problems sink them. Life by You was a gamble that failed but they squandered a great franchise with Cities Skylines II.

I'm not surprised. What they showed so far did not look good. And they likely didn't want more bad press after Cities Skylines II.
Paradox probably saw dollar signs from all the potential DLC if the game took off. But it was an odd fit for them anyway because it wouldn't have appealed to many of their typical customers.

Civ 1 was the reason I got into PC gaming when I was in college. I'm cautiously looking forward to this one but I'm also wondering what they can do at this point to change the formula and make it stand out.

Making the game that no one asked for.
Okay, I'll bite. I've never seen so many people complain about a company that has the freedom to do whatever they want deciding to focus on something other than endless sequels.

OMG there is nothing dumb to complain about this week let's find some dumb new thing to complain about! What's wrong with giving your Steam login to next of kin?
Ummmm.... who is complaining about this?
I would like to have the option to put my account in my will. Maybe greater awareness will eventually lead to a change of policy.

I think there's a lot of potential with life sims if someone can come up with a fresh approach. Add open world elements where you have the freedom to go completely off script, be creative, and of course get into trouble.
Everything I've seen about this looks underwhelming. At least try to evolve the gameplay and not just copy it. Paradox is only interested in another DLC factory anyway.
I’m surprised there’s no mention of AAA yearly sports games. They’ve had in game advertising for decades.

What you're saying is that, while they're clearing off their desks into cardboard boxes they should be simultaneosly posting their future plans for... lunch? There IS no future plans for any of them, they're fucking fired.
If Private Division had a plan, they should have at least released some details as soon as possible.
Take 2 has secured their position, along with Bethesda and EA, as yet another soulless corporate content mill.
Intercept Games is the developer that was closed. Private Division is the publisher and a subsidiary of Take 2.
We’ll take your exclusivity money! But we’re not going to do anything to actually help you sell our incomplete game.
Epic must have loved that arrangement.
