All other game developers in the history of games have understood the concept of making the lowest-powered device you're launching on the baseline for development. We've dealt with crippled titles on more powerful consoles for ages, I'm sure Larian'll figure it out for their next game.

it really was just "another Saints Row game" but with better characters.
This is sarcasm, right? If it were even close to that we all would've loved it. To me, it felt like the worst parts of later SR games mashed up with a desperate attempt to replicate Watch_Dogs 2's vibe. I don't play Saints Row to play as a dude trying to pay off their student loans while fighting "gangs" that have access to random bullshit technology like neon batons that spin real fast and deflect bullets. That's the type of stuff that should've stayed in Agents of Mayhem with its far less grounded setting.
Switching to Firefox worked great.
I cannot extract a silver lining out of this announcement no matter how hard I try. This is like Activision announcing that the next Call of Duty will be made by Mojang, they're just so fucking grossly incompatible with each other that it makes absolutely zero sense.
Gamepass Ultimate cloud streaming and GeForce Now have both worked well for me if you wanna give them a shot as a replacement. PlayStation and Amazon both have their own streaming as well but I'm less experienced with those.
No, you don't, because Fallout 4 was particularly trash on both counts. It's explicitly why I haven't even subbed to Gamepass or anything for Starfield after growing up obsessed with Oblivion, FO3, FONV, and Skyrim, as well as buying the Pip Boy Edition of FO4 because I was so excited for it.
Graphics are like, one of the last things I give a shit about as long as they're not hampering the game. I don't care if I'm playing Wolfenstein 3D or the latest triple-A graphics splurgefest so long as it's a fun game, but stuff like Cruelty Squad is an absolute no-go because of the dogshit HUD that serves only to distract the player and make it feel claustrophobic.
Volition hasn't made a good game in a decade and IdolNinja left us a while back, so there's no real loss here.
What worries me is what they're gonna do with the Saints Row and Red Faction IPs without them.
Linux suffers from being a patchwork of hobbyists updates, corporate additions, and patchy distro support. When it comes down to it, if you have an issue, you either have to solve it on your own or hope and pray the elitists on StackOverflow are in a good mood.
Honestly, every OS kinda sucks.
It's the same as when Elden Ring dropped. Even people who never played Souls games prior were picking it up because it was just a complete, solid open world RPG.
I've never played Baldur's Gate before, but I'm probably gonna pick 3 up to play with my roommate in splitscreen.
I keep fucking trying but the "BUY NOW" button won't work for me. Ugh.

Sony management didn't even see a point to backwards compatibility until recently and still can't be bothered to figure out PS3 emulation. It's easily the console's greatest flaw imo.
