@DanielOlimac Yeah, 100% with you. With how long its been in development, I think 3mil is actually not enough to break even. The stakes are very high, but catering to your core audience and getting 80+ reviews is rarely a recipe for disaster.

[Rui Craveirinha @MetaVideoGame]

@DanielOlimac It's definitely not gaming event like BG3 or Elden Ring or even Mass Effect in its prime were. But it plays to what the core Bioware fandom wanted: sp, no open world or live service bs, very story focused. So, I doubt its the miss that Andromeda or Anthem were. Is that enough?

[Rui Craveirinha @MetaVideoGame]

@Darren_Mooney True in all cases except Immaculate and First Omen that feel like someone stole the others script and then just changed a few details! But hey, for every rule, and exception

@AaronBastani Comms strategy? Their problem is political strategy. You can't govern like the tories and expect viters to shower you in praise and happiness.

@dieubussy Like an archaeologist standing over ruins. Fascinating how we evolved by wiping out every superfluous adornment, every costly decoration from our constructions... thus destroying the very thing that gives them meaning: beauty. Very happy to live in modern times!

@dieubussy Art >>>>> tech

Obviously, the two combined is the best of both worlds.

@dieubussy @DanielOlimac This isnt fair, cause this puts Kusoge games to shame
