  • Keep down voting me, but I bet I’m the only one in this thread that’s actually played the game.

    What part of it is unfinished? Also, it’s on game pass, so I paid nothing, and am playing a sequel to a game I love and spent 100s of hours on. Real evil ploy here.

    I’m accepting it because I’ve played another dozen hours of a game I enjoy. CO spent 8 years updating the first game and I expect no less. Paradox isn’t some evil publisher, have you even played anything they’ve released?
















  • AAA studios were used to having local build farms, in-person build-review sessions, and testers being in the same physical space so engineers could see what’s going on. They have collections of unreleased hardware that need to be distributed and secured.

    It’s not simple to completely overhaul a setup like that and go full remote. You’re moving 100s of GB a day to each dev and trying to change every one of your processes.

    Every AAA engineer I know complained about how how slow everything was remote. Studios are figuring that shit out now, but I don’t think “hurr durr Todd Howard old” is really accurate or adding anything to the conversation here
