For bonus points, you’ll have to re-explain some of those things randomly to publish updates, which they now require about every 2 years or less or your game just disappears.

There are things that you shouldn’t do or say to minors that aren’t illegal, but anyone reading them would still know it’s it’s unethical/wrong/immoral/whatever. They clearly thought he crossed that line, enough that they’d rather fire him and take a chance on losing the court case for damages for breaking the contract. And then they lost that court case.

It clearly wasn’t just “a chat with a minor”. The rumors I’ve heard is that he was attempting to make plans to meet up with them at a convention. That would definitely be in the “big no no” category for a celebrity talking to a minor, even if nothing untoward was suggested in that conversation.

Because what he did wasn’t illegal. It was just wrong. They didn’t want anything to do with him any more, but he didn’t break the law and so they couldn’t use that part of the contract to terminate it.

They felt it was so wrong that they paid him $20mil to break that contract. They absolutely would have taken another option if it was viable.

Despite it being in the FAQ, all it actually says is that they try to cause as little performance loss as they could. No idea how much that is, or if people will turn it off to get a few frames back.

It does say that without a GPU the performance is considerable.

It gives out free Steam items that you can sell to other suckers. Sometimes it gives a valuable one. It isn’t a game, it’s a money-maker.

And “100 developers working on it” doesn’t mean much when they’re unpaid and there’s no lower limit on how much they have to actually contribute.

There’s some irony for ya. :D

Yeah, it was a mistake… After they got called on it.

It was absolutely in there on purpose.

Covid made them improve the game considerably by making it easier for people who don’t live in huge cities… But they decided to claw back all those changes and completely ignore all the people who left because of that.

Instead, they implement visual upgrades? Really?

I’m constantly disappointed by them.
