    Have they? I’ve seen many games costing up to $100 or more if you want the complete game.

    Many standard editions of triple-A games have been chopped to the point where even the proper ending is part of DLC that requires a season pass.

    Some design their games in such away that they can sell quality of life features or some kind convenience for players. (Basically subtle form of P2W)

    Some have turned their games to billboards for DLC, micro transactions, season passes and even other games.


  • These news are quite eye opening how difficult winter can be in other parts of the globe. Here (Finland) it’s completely normal for temperatures to drop to -20C / -4F during winter and something like -25C / -13F is not out of the ordinary. We’ve had freezing air temperatures for about month now and it’ll likely stay that way until April.

    But something like this or even close to this with little to no infrastructure or clothing to handle it sounds brutal. Many of our buildings have thick walls with insulation, double pane windows and build in heating to handle these temperatures. Underground power lines in urban areas and even cars are required by the law to have studded tires or other forms of winter tires.
