Quoting: ShmerlOn one hand, or on the other hand complexity of games increased to the point where they became less profitable to release with more bug fixes due to budget / development time balance. That's why we see them released as beta quality and only gain fixes over time after that.

Players want more complex games, players want games bug free. To me it looks like these two are at odds.

There's an additional difference. You don't have a problem to install an update and another one and yet another one for any of your games.(*) It's not like you're sitting on your DVD version forever. Won't make people loving it, but it decreases the pain for the player.

(*) Well, for those with decent internet connection and pricing.

Quoting: ShmerlPlaying at release is the worst approach you can take with such games. It takes close to a year for them to get in shape post "release".

From what I've heard, this has been worse than other big games at release, though.

Quoting: Eikeare you opposed to diversity or are you not?

Thank you for your agreement that your entire reply chain was/is a reductio ad absurdam in bad faith, in order to push a false narrative (by bringing into question) that this account does not support diversity, in order to distract from the original topic that CDPR is showing all the signs of dying due to a lack of talent, and that their choice to use a third-party engine wouldn't be cost-effective if they had internal talent to update their own engine.

*lol *

Hope you at least learned something about what diversity actually means.

Quoting: michaNope, monitor has it's own power.

I noticed that the problems were far less when I used keyboard + mouse in bluetooth mode instead of USB. And I doubt that those two drain a lot. At least I would expect the standard power adapter to be able to handle such.

Maybe, its specific to the EU (and UK? )adapters and that's how it slipped quality assurance. Just a guess though.

Have you got an idea how this could be connected? The power given should be way more than enough for usual input peripherals, the Deck and some battery loading even if it's a "Monday product", right?

Quoting: EikeI'm choosing which parts of a post I answer to. Not sorry.

Thank you for your agreement your posts are a bad-faith effort to distract (via minutia) from the original point

You're clearly not using your reading skills properly.

But... if you really believe "oppositition to diversity is sexism", are you opposed to diversity or are you not?

To help out your understanding, from Wikipedia: "Diversity (business), the inclusion of people of different identities (ethnicity, gender, age) in the workforce". As it's about a lot more than gender, the opposite obviously cannot be called "sexism". You talked much about a word you didn't understand properly.

Quoting: medicalcannabisoppositition to diversity is sexism, right?

Nope.

You didn't understand diversity.
Like, not at all.

But... if you really believe "oppositition to diversity is sexism", are you opposed to diversity or are you not?

Quoting: medicalcannabiswas to accuse this account of an *-ism [...] which you initially denied was the intent of your original reply.

It still wasn't. As said:

Quoting: EikeNobody talked about isms either.

Neither explicit nor implied.
You brought this up, not me.

Quoting: medicalcannabisForgive this account for assuming you're continuing to act on bad faith and focusing a third reply on a parenthesis which was adequately explained, rather than address the original argument that CDPR is dying due to a lack of talent.

I was addressing the original post. The parenthesis was part of it. I'm choosing which parts of a post I answer to. Not sorry.

Quoting: medicalcannabisDue to your lack of argument over my statement over HR practices explaining the parenthetical

This "explanation" offered nothing that hadn't been obvious by the bracket: You are opposed to diversity and see it as hurting. I won't discuss this here (and Liam wouldn't let us for long either).

Quoting: medicalcannabisto a dismissal over a perceived social slight.

I don't understand this part in the context (not a native speaker). Be invited to not explain it.

Quoting: medicalcannabisOtherwise, why ignore the rest of the post and focus on what is in the parenthesis only?

Because the parenthesis so much didn't match all the rest that it had to be pointed at. While I also disagree with the rest (being software developer as well), such regressive stances should not go through unchallenged.

Quoting: medicalcannabiswho seem to be lacking in talent for the sake of diversity

What?

HR is hiring to meet quotas, rather than on talent. As a meritocratic system falls and a system of equity rises, talent fades from a studio. If you view this as an *-ism, you're incorrectly reducing a 3-paragraph argument to an out-of-context quote in order to dismiss it.

There wasn't any 3-paragraph argument about diversity. Your bracketed comment was out of context. Nobody talked about isms either.
