Premium currencies are just very anti-consumer, I’m sure you know most of the arguments against it so I won’t reiterate them.

GGG are great developers, but their sales department is as predatory as every other game, FOMO sales, lootboxes, premium currencies, supporter packs… Not being p2w (the standard on pc btw) is really the only good thing you can say about their current monetization.

There’s plenty to explore for sure, and the 3 acts will give most people a run for their money, but the game is incomplete, literally missing half the campaign. The missing weapons and skill gems means you actually don’t have many options that aren’t railroaded, there’s also going to be a lot of balance fixes and probably item drop buffs; EA is never the best time to start a game.

Given you don’t pay extra for EA and premium stuff like stash space you buy goes to both PoE1 and 2, you get quite a bit for your early access ticket.

Most new players buying into EA are not going to stick around. Also fuck premium currencies, this shit is manipulative as hell, not to mention it makes refunds needlessly complicated.

Well that’s how poe2 is usually described, i personally have never played any of the souls game so i can’t attest to the similarity. Poe2 is a lot more boss centric.

The dodge roll has its niche: avoid boss mechanics. You can spam it so it doesn’t provide any movement advantage, i think it gives iframes on targeted attacks, but you can still get hit by AOEs. However, because you can’t attack while rolling you want to avoid doing it unless you really need to.

They slowed down the game tremendously and added dodge roll.

For anyone that’s not familiar with the game, it’s a slow top-down arpg with a souls like gameplay. The game is challenging but the progression can currently be tedious and unrewarding, the EA is also missing a lot of content that isn’t ready yet; I recommend waiting for the full release if you want to give it a shot.

I dislike microsoft as much as the next guy, but xbox doesn’t have a monopoly on phones, or really any presence at all. Competition on android is good for everyone but google.

Well TIL.
Warez is a plural of ware if anyone else didn’t catch on.

Besides games that actively block linux for their anti-cheat, there aren’t many games that don’t work ootb on linux.
You can always check for specific games on protondb.

The very first cutscene has a worm crawling into your eye aboard a ship with brain-eating mindflayers, talk about setting the tone.

You’re over complicating things

if you don’t know their use case or the hardware they use

Most hardware will work ootb, most use cases is opening the browser. But i do agree a blank “use Linux” is a bit too broad. Something like “Use Mint” or “Use Fedora” is better.

What kind of knowledge do you think linux requires? Installing is like a 5 step process. Once installed any grandma can use GNOME or KDE just fine.

made by the company that has hundreds of paid employees working on it.

You’d have a point there, if the company’s aim was solely to make a better product; it’s been increasingly about increasing their margins at the expense of the users, advertising as much as possible and buying out the competition.

Typically prices go down, not up. This is already the cheaper version.

Chromebooks are a privacy nightmare and have shitty lifespans though. It’s a poor comparison too because at this point you’re buying new hardware instead of installing different software.

Modern distros are very resilient as long as you stick to the big ones, maybe even more than windows. There’s plenty of benefits for regular people too. A few off the top of my mind, the OS doesn’t have ads, no privacy minefield, less malware. Gotta keep in mind that at the end of the day, most people only use their pc to open the browser.

I highly doubt there isn’t an opened issue about it.

There’s actually not. But there’s an open MR.

Well the first step would probably be to open an issue.
