Hell yes. I played Chaos Gate a lot back then. Also great map editor. Always preferred the second edition heavy bolters. So satisfying. Cd is sti sitting on my shelf ??

Quoting: Purple Library GuyA friend of mine used to be a big Warhammer player (not sure if 40K or not) and pretty much abandoned it a while ago; I seem to recall the explanation involving some sort of deliberate obsoleting of all the models he'd accumulated, and painstakingly painted, up to then. I got the impression rage was widespread among Warhammer players over this. I can imagine some financial suffering resulting.
I'm out of the loop but this is probably not the real reason. I can not imagine how GW is going to "obsolete" a space marine (or any other unit - they are all kinda generic).

It's an age old discussion when some new edition comes along. No matter what system (or company). People do not want to buy everything - including rulebooks - again, when new versions show up. And some use this as lame excuse to stop an expensive and time consuming hobby they started to dislike over time anyway.

Others just keep playing there old editions, becoming the Old Guard for the next gen players and even go on active hunts for old models.

Especially 40k has e.g. an accepted and detailed rule set to create custom rules for units. And in the end the models are just representing an idea. In other words: Nobody gives a fuck whether the model on the table is a Bike, a Trike or a Quad. The paper the player filed before the game started defines it. Only a nitpicker would complain that he is not "seeing" that plasma bolter on some unit. Nobody plays (long) with such spoilsports.

Playing Prey on Linux in 2018

This brings back some memories. That article was nice to read and is spot on. Shame there was never the promised part 2. I still have the boxed version.

…also I remember the main actor to complain and whine a lot. "No.." "Oh no.. " "Not again" - stuff like this.

…and the ending sucked.

Feral? Wasn't this ported by Aspyr? *confused

I understood this correct: It is not possible to configure the trailers? Just the locomotive? Trailers just spawn at need?

Not a train sim :(
