RIP Volition
They didn’t die, they were killed.
“People die when they are killed.”
Allegedly!
Were they? Their three releases since Saints Row 4 ten years ago weren’t that well received. It’s not like they were releasing smash hit after smash hit (lately). Maybe they killed themselves.
Deep Silver was very problematic with completely unrealistic expectations and deadlines, Volition’s leadership was also complicit to not fight it too much, what the actual devs wanted to make was a SR 2.5 in tone.
This channel is pretty good since he knows people inside but also doesn’t have his hands tied since he trashed the reboot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yawfVO4-_gM
Yeah but then I’d have to use the Epic Games Store
I strongly dislike Epic as a company, but at least Heroic Games Launcher makes the experience tolerable. And free is free, but for anything paid, I’m always willing to pay extra to own on Steam/GOG instead
If you’re concerned about free games just pirate them. Same price and none of the Epic.
“If you’re concerned about paying for something, just steal it.”
If you’re concerned about getting something for free instead of paying for it, pirate it.
Piracy isn’t theft, it is copyright infringement.
does HGL require the other game launchers to be installed or is it standalone? I’d rather not install epic launcher.
No, I’ve refused to install the Epic launcher but I’ve been able to install games I claimed through the website. Even been able to get them on my Steam Deck with a bit of work in desktop mode
Well you have to use Lemmy to reply to this post, so there’s always some requirements to a lot of things.
I use Epic launcher for all my Unreal work, so I have it installed and open it daily. Still, I can’t be bothered to turn on the games store and redeem free games - while willingly paying for new ones on Steam. The UX is just that bad.
(I assume some people may find value in it, all I’m saying is: it is not for me)
I just redeem on the website and launch the games through Playnite. I rarely look at launchers at all.
Same. Every Thursday I check the website for the released game that week and if it’s good I claim. Playnite ftw.
Was that the shit reboot Saints Row? Probably missed it for the better
Shit. Missed it.
Another game on my want to play list that I would have paid like $8 for but now it’s free. Cool.
