I've encountered a different type tedious checking for something that is supposed to be quicker yesterday. A big store with an app to speed up the checkout process. The group in front of me had three shopping carts and according to the app 62 items. The verification process only entails checking the number of items. They had 64 – so a very winded comparison was started. No one can tell me that scanning the bar codes of every item would take longer.

It's good that he clarifies that game stores need an AI label. Or are there people that don't read what he writes and turn everything into the opposite?

No wake on BT flipping? I'm surprised.

I, too, think that it is a mistake. If that is the desired criterion for the Debut category, it is practically impossible to find (and confirm) suitable candidates. I assume that most of the other games would face the same issue – it is practically impossible to be able to sell the first game or any piece of software made without prior experience.

How many times will they flip between BT wake up and no BT wake up?

Not that surprising. I'm still baffled how many people were crying for a sequel to fix all the issues of the first part (outdated graphics, horrible memory management, wonky mods, etc.). Whenever I saw that I thought that those people a) have no idea about development and b) underestimate the Paradox's greed. It's hard to develop a worthy sequel considering all the official content (bazillion DLCs) and huge number of mods that are considered essential. The first game is still a niche game, so obviously the sequel would have to be a bit more mainstream – which leads to mechanics like the automatic traffic fixing. Even with unlimited time and money it is very hard to start from scratch and have something comparable at release.

Fixed short freezes happening every 5 min in Deadlock.

That sounds really anti-thematic.

And a return to a quicker release schedule on top.

The non-existing Linux client is – for me – a plus and a huge downside: I'm happy that I have stand-alone installers that have not been tainted by Galaxy-related stuff that introduces additional bugs – like the infamous 15 (?) seconds start delay when Galaxy is not running that some Windows versions have compared to the Steam version due to the naive coding of GOG's Steam crack. The downside is obvious – due to the missing Linux client, there is no Linux version of GOG's Steam crack and that is the reason of the many missing native Linux versions on GOG. In that sense, the people moaning about missing achievements are the cause of missing native versions of games.

Did you hear that? That’s your cue to run!

Could be an unintended honest statement about the Denuvo roll-out.
