From Osteoblasts

They have the entire team from when it was shut down. Pub was sold to a game studio who wants them to operate independently. And there are plans to bring back the print edition.

People are into vinyl and tube TVs again. Barnes & Noble just opened a huge branch in a hot (meaning: expensive) neighborhood here in Chicago. I guess people like physical things again.

I’m sure everyone is very excited that Zaum is putting out this shitty crash grab with the IP they stole.

The creator of Revachol can’t tell stories set there anymore, but private equity can profit off of it.

I feel like having the early access label makes me more apprehensive about buying a game because of the amount of abandoned early access titles I own and being wary of it not having an ending. In the case of No Man's Sky I feel like I would be less grateful for all the content adding updates. I might view it as just working towards a completed project rather than doing something nice for the community or doing it out of passion.

Buying a broken game does make me a lot less likely to buy new games from a developer immediately after the release.

Other examples could be Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76, Halo MCC, and the remastered Grand Theft Auto trilogy.
