Depends. The Polish government has its share of religious nuts. If they get courted on this, Gog may end up forced to comply.

I'm thinking they're going for a Babylon AD type of situation.

Oh look, the live service FOMO tactic is leaking out. First they fail to protect the children, now they fail to protect themselves.

Had they been true to the "land of the free" motto, they would have.

Age of Wonders 3.

Most games tend to go the same way. I kindly and peacefully expand my empire by slaughtering mobs while the bot players destroy each other. Eventually i hold over half the map, tens of thousands in gold and stacks of armies on the borders. When the final bot unavoidably declares war on me, I overwhelm their least defended cities, tank their economy and watch it lose its armies due to lack of gold, giving me an easy win.

He was a developer with the financial incentive to not put in the work required by this initiative into his presumptive games.

What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] lath@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

In contrast to the other commenters, fuck FFXIV. I tried it twice and it's just.. annoying. Maybe because I was already annoyed with MMOs in general by then.
You should still try it yourself eventually, but it's really bleh for me.

To be honest, most f2p MMOs don't work as a f2player. You have to end up paying or it becomes stressful.

Anyway, i don't recommend them, but they felt the least annoying the longest. Star Trek Online and Neverwinter (grindy as hell or expensive pay2unlock), Guild Wars 2 (needs buying the first two expansions to unlock permanent mounts and character specializations) and if you're brave enough to go the private servers route, try searching for private, yet somewhat reputable servers of games you think might've been nice like Wildstar..

Do cats understand farts? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

As i recall, cats partially communicate through scent, so in my mind right now a fart would be like someone's Tourette syndrome expressing itself through sign language.
