@NewBlood Any plans to port the game to Switch/Switch 2 😅 ?

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI.
SKG was not invited.

Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.

@DoesItPlay1 Unfortunately the Silksong release won't include the upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC on the disc/cartridge, dissapointing.

We didn’t “lose” physical media.
We walked away from it.

The shops still exist. The discs, the vinyl, the collections, all still there waiting.

Streaming is easy.
Owning something is meaningful.

If you miss it… support it.

@zuljaras @DoesItPlay1 Same shit can be seen when it comes to science, medicine or history. People are proud to be ignorant and uninformed and will loudly say shit like „we’ve never been to the moon it’s all a hoax !!111!” or „the earth is flat”. Covid was also a great example. Humanity is doomed

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

There is this notion being spread by certain twitter accounts that PS5 & Xbox games aren't physical because you need to install them. Completely misses the point of what is the important thing that makes a physical release: independent access to a functioning product.

@gothicthegame It's really tiring at this point but can you stop dodging questions about the promised patches for Switch version of Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 ? They were announced back in November/December 2023 and then you went radio silent. The games are still buggy and missing promised features.

[Altair @Altair57]

@Escaflowne2001 @finalprintgames @gothicthegame Yes and X360 online services run like shit after the shutdown. 50% of the time downloading owned games doesn't work, there are various errors with error codes that can't be checked on their support pages anymore because they nuked the X360 support entirely. It's a shitshow.

[Altair @Altair57]

@FerdiBacon @GenePark that last line got a good laugh out of me hahah, 100% agreed. I'm so tired of explaining to idiots how most physical games actually work offline without downloading anything. They keep arguing while saying some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard in game discussions. Cattle 🤣👌

[Altair @Altair57]

@DoesItPlay1 I don't know how you guys do it, it's so exhausting dealing with these types of people. Thanks for your work and keep on keeping on 🤜🤛

[Altair @Altair57]

@DoesItPlay1 Unrelated to the post but I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you guys do. It's so tiring to see the same idiotic arguments opposing physical releases. There's been a lot of bootlickers and THQ Nordic astroturfing today (regarding Gothic Remake's fake physical release).

[Altair @Altair57]

@timurkhodyrev @LeviiLucasMain @DoesItPlay1 I know that the Switch port has been most probably abandoned but keeping radio silence on the matter and dodging these specific questions for so long is not a good look. Doesn't inspire confidence in any THQ Nordic product going forward.

I've asked about it a month ago, I've asked about it in 2024 and got 0 answers. I saw other users also post about it. I think it's perfectly normal for paying customers to ask when are they going to get their promised updates.

[Altair @Altair57]

@timurkhodyrev Will the promised patches for Gothic 1 (visual update) and Gothic 2 (multiple bug fixes) finally come to Switch with this new PS5/XSX release ? It’s been more than 2 years of radio silence.

[Altair @Altair57]

@timurkhodyrev @LeviiLucasMain @DoesItPlay1 I haven't used Discord in 2 or 3 years at least. We were promised patches by the end of 2023 for Switch versions that were supposed to fix a lot of issues and reintroduce the missing graphical fidelity for Gothic 1 (that was showcased in the launch trailer). Radio silence since

[Altair @Altair57]

@LeviiLucasMain @DoesItPlay1 @timurkhodyrev So it's the same guy that was also lying about the state of their games back in 2023 when Gothic 1&2 released on Nintendo Switch. Dodged questions (still does it to this day) about the port's technical problems and made false promises and never delivered. Very trustworthy !

[Altair @Altair57]

@DoesItPlay1 I'm a huge Gothic fan and this remake looked bad to me every time they showed it but what sealed the deal for me was THQ Nordic's behaviour. They f'ed over Switch users with their lies regarding Gothic re-releases and now they do this. They deserve 0 money.

[Altair @Altair57]

@DoesItPlay1 This game seems bugged to hell and missing core features a month before release. My guess is their "Gold Master" build is atrocious and they don't want people to play it in that state and expose it ala Cyberpunk PS4/X1 disc build. They want to control what people see on release

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

Cancel your pre-orders! Gothic Remake is unplayable offline. THQ is withholding this info from customers! No proper marking on the package. No notice on the store page.

This was discovered through a copy of the game that was sent early by the official THQ Store.

[Altair @Altair57]

@NightdiveStudio Hello !
I've played through the demo and the game itself is really great. Are there more performance updates on the way ? The game played fairly well in docked mode (a few stutters here and there) but in handheld mode the game dropped frames frequently. Thank you !

[Moritz Katzner @Moritz_Katzner]

HUGE success:
the CA Assembly Appropriations Committee just voted YES to move the bill to the Assembly floor. The @theESA gaslighting failed.
Huge thanks to @ChrisWardCA and his team. Next: the floor vote. We’ll need all of you once more.

ESA, git gud. —@StopKilingGames
