There's plenty of different endings, but yeah that's probably the one they'll make canon.

The thing is Geralt is The Witcher, making Ciri the protagonist is a bastardization of the saga. Imagine that J.K rowling came up with a new book, titled it Harry Potter 8, and made the protagonist Hermione. To me this shows a real lack of understanding of their audience, people play The Witcher for the fantasy of being Geralt, of being a monster killer, of hooking up with every sorceress. But obviously IP sells, and they aren't gonna change the title of the saga to something like "child of the elder blood".

I wish them the best of luck, maybe they'll pull off a fallout 3 and reinvent themselves. But I personally will be passing on this spinoff.

If anything, Ciri's the character whose story is wrapped up by the end of Witcher 3, she saved the world and fulfilled her destiny. Unlike Geralt or the sorceresses, she does get old too.

It's definitely understandable that a lot of players would feel betrayed at having Ciri becoming the MC after 3 games of Geralt. People would riot if you made someone else than Lara Croft the MC of tomb raider. A better solution would probably be a character creator for a new generation of witchers. Ciri is too powerful to be the MC.

It's not only the people, it's the people at specific timepoints, nobody wants a remake of skyrim and another iteration of assassin's creed is only gonna get a lukewarm reception. Games are lightning in a bottle, their successes are basically impossible to replicate because there's so many variables at play.

There's place for both, a lot of authors simply can't afford to have their entire book narrated by a voice actor.

It was obviously a cash grab from the company before fucking off, you can't reasonably expect a lifetime vpn for 30 bucks. Either it eventually gets repriced, or they start mining all your information like every other "free" vpns.

It's not quite the same though, the first was a TOS update deep inside a document most people will never read, this is an in your face warning to every nintendo player.

The steam deck is just a small pc running Linux, so yes.

Yes look at Nintendo, shitty visuals and high prices.

Yeah, but I really don't want my computer to look like my phone.

You might not, but it's certainly easier to use devices when they behave in similar ways. Like I usually install linux on my relatives PCs simply because if they run into an issue I can troubleshoot it much faster.

You do realise that even though it's not one of the official Mint variants, it's still possible to install Gnome on Mint with minimal fuss?

Defaults matter because most people just don't change them. Also that's a terrible idea, you'll run into loads of issues and a lack of support for troubleshooting.
