The Terraria story really broke my trust in how Google handles their accounts, and so being a pro-privacy person is not the only reason I will avoid Google anymore.

The video made me think of Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. I liked that game. This looks cool. It's a little disappointing to me that it's single-player only, but we'll see how it turns out. I mostly only play solo games if they're story based, but of course there are exceptions.

I did not read all comments, so here's me rudely leaving my opinion without reading others':

I'm glad to see it's not a literal CLA. Those are somewhat taboo in the FOSS world. Stricter branch protections and issue reporting makes sense to me to get the time to organize things and cut out some inefficiency.

"High volume" as quoted in the article means Intel is not making much money per unit, which means they will feel overpriced once offered as a standalone unit.

That's interesting. It's like a democratic justice system. Should work most of the time.

I don't have a huge wishlist like I used to, but this game is on it!
