Except for that "PC means Windows" nonsense too many people still proclaim, this sounds generally positive.

Honestly, if I had to pick between hitting a release date and delaying it for a few weeks for a small userbase, I'd go with hitting the release.

As long as they don't do the CA way of "patches on Linux arrive a few months after they arrive on Windows" (making the Linux native version essentially useless for anyone using mods), all is good.

Steam devs when Ubisoft does just about anything:

That price point, though...
For 40€ I'd expect something closer to AAA than to a low budget indie 3D look.

Still looks interesting, but that's definitely a "wait for a sale" for me.

Dear lord, the maintainer just frankly seems a self-absorbed and petty.

I posted in support of desiring such a feature with a few arguments of why it should be done, etc.

But the maintainer just closed the entire ticket, edited my post to "(not very nice comment)".
Oh and a "you can all thank TheSHEEEP for this...", of course.
There was not a single rude remark in my post, no name calling, nothing.

Just stating the obvious that he cannot believe he could ever add every single thinkable use-case as a full feature (as that is obviously impossible), and therefore should add one "imperfect" feature as a fallback so users don't have to switch to other apps as soon as they reach the point of "Boatswain doesn't have this feature".

Some people are waaayyy too thin skinned and seriously not made for the discussion with other people online.
I honestly struggle to see how one could even be offended by my comment, but now that edit just makes me look like I was slinging insults or sth like that... :/
If you cannot handle a few direct suggestions and people pointing out a flaw in your argument without going on an ego-trip and shutting all discussion down (not just removing my comment if he didn't like my tone or whatever), you are a horrible person to be put in charge of a project.

My guess is he just waited for someone to stop posting "use cases" (there were already a dozen or more vastly different ones that could've all been solved by the feature) to give him an opportunity to shut down a ticket he never had any intention of taking care of.

I wonder if there's any Jazz Jackrabbit inspiration here...

Quoting: melkemindThat's why "cancel culture" isn't a real thing, and everyone who has supposedly been "cancelled" is still rich and powerful.

Sorry, but that's not true.

There are numerous cases of "small time" folk who were just working some random low-pay job that got fired for daring to follow the wrong people, have an opinion someone didn't like entirely unrelated to their job, or was just rumoured to.
Really tame stuff nowhere near whatever JKR puts out on a regular basis nowadays.

Cancel culture is entirely a real thing, but it depends on the individual victims of it how much of an effect it actually has on them. Someone with wealth obviously won't be affected much, but that doesn't mean they didn't get cancelled.
And some have - in hindsight - actually benefitted from it, for sure. I'd say Hogwards Legacy will most likely benefit a lot from all the crybullies drumming up drama and riling up people in support of the game. At least that's what it currently looks like.

But if you define "cancelled" only as something successfully ending someone's entire existence / oust them from public life forever, then you are seeing things way too narrow and ignore what some people went through, often without really doing anything to deserve such extreme harassment.
Even an unsuccessful cancellation is still a cancellation - the outcome does not define what it is, the act does. And the act is always a vile attempt at suppressing someone('s opinion) or anything even remotely connected to it.

Quoting: Guestis the game good though

From all they've shown so far, it looks like it will at least not be terrible.
That's already something!

Unfortunately of no use to me.
Whenever Wadjet Eye releases a new game, my wallet just magically gets lighter and a game appears in my library on Steam.

Truly mysterious.

This is probably the first time I have seen or heard the word "poncle".
