I think you could do a LOT better for $10
Sounds kinda like Deathspank, which was awesome.
Dunkey’s promo vid had the dev say he wrote it himself.
Fuckin' STOP PREORDERING shite
MS has been doing that for over 20 years, no news there. The reason for acquiring is to deny acquisition to others, and to ensure MS’s ecosystems have software, I imagine.
Yeah, I ran this earlier but then switched to the Eagle. Now I picked it up again, and with it and the Eagle I almost always have something to call in to take care of massed mobs.
Or maybe we just need to stop buying shit that’s just thinly veiled skinner boxes, and play games because they are fun again, not to get the best/coolest/most brag-worthy stuff in-game.

Yeaaaaaah, those two are probably not compatible.
Releasing a niche new IP from a well-regarded but lesser-known developer with little to no marketing in the extremely busy autumn and expecting success is... a bit weird. You gotta wonder what they were thinking.
Try to see it like a choose your own adventure instead of "gotta catch 'em all". I find it helps to have a soft rule against savescumming for myself - if I make a mistake, my character made that. The only times I let myself reload is if the outcome of what I did was unclear, and went entirely against what I thought it would do.
Jaysis. Just stop buying these exploitative and morally bankrupt games. No "at least on the X franchise". No "I won't pay any microtransactions". No "I won't preorder".
They will not change, nor get better as long as they're selling.
Just STOP buying this shite, everyone.
He's also been saying that he wants to take a more active role in the game's development. It would be logical that he then evaluates what he needs to do to have the time for that, and decides to move away from the business side of things.
