Read some comments on another thread to where some of the main talent isnt part of this ie Avellone & Sawyer ?. Hmmmmmmmm.

Avellone left to basically work as a freelancer (i think Larian reserved his sevices for Divinity: Original Sin 2 and inXile for other projects). Sawyer is probably busy with PoE 2. The team that works on this particular game is the one that made South Park RPG.

yeah the gameplay trailer has no actual gameplay.

or actually, technically it does. like 3 seconds of it made up of split seconds of 5 or six different scenarios. it's like original sin or pillars anyway.

Some dumb fucks can get offended by every friggin joke/ comment etc.
Well, whatever, there´s no use in getting mad over this. :/

As for Tyranny, it´s Obsidian that are working on this game, I have to admit I have high hopes. :)

I just read this thread on the Paradox forum. While I would like to be wrong, especially if Tyranny has gameplay similar to PoE, it doesn't make me too hopeful that Obsidian's future releases that are published by Paradox will be appearing at GOG or any other DRM free retailers that doesn't have a mandatory proprietary client (specifically Steamworks) as a precondition of installing the game. In light of the general tone of the responses in that thread I may not even want to make any future purchases that can potentially benefit Paradox in any way, shape or form. This thread on the Obsidian forum is interesting too. Make of it what you will... :|

That achilles sure seem full of himself. Your first link doesn't seem to work without a Paradox account.

Regarding being evil. Anyone else think that term is childish in this industry? To me, evil would be someone who is human that feel human emotions but also a dick to other people in a subtle and nuance way but what do games offer? You kill people, then it's over. Boring..

Edit: My fault, the link works.

From the linked thread:

"All Paradox games are DRM free on Steam. Just download them via the Steam store and then move the files elsewhere. They don't need the Steam interface in order to run."

Yeah, in a MUCH LARGER decompressed file size that has no separate compressed smaller installer like a gog version and is not practical for making backups. Why is this so hard for some people to understand? :P

If Steam offered optional installers like gog for their games that are DRM-free i'd probably buy alot more games on Steam as this is one big sticking point for me. Christ, Humble, DotEmu and even Amazon do this. Why doesn't Steam do this?

They don't care. There's that saying "always assume stupidity before malice". I'll add to it: "always assume indifference before ignorance".

Some good sayings.

Honestly, I don't understand why so many people worship Paradox. They're releasing good games like CK2 or EUIV, but then floating it with DLCs for unreasonable prices (not only talking about main features but portraits and stuff), translation of games is nonexisting (not problem for me but it's asshole move to release main game with so called translation and then don't translate any following DLCs). If they're not going to release Tyranny on GoG then I don't care. They can stay with steam. Hopefully, until both Valve and Paradox will bankrupt.

Why would Steam want to do that? If one could install a game purchased from Steam without using Steamworks, Steam's own mandatory proprietary client, there would no vendor lock-in to compel purchasers to make the majority of their game purchases with Steam...

I thought that after POE Obsidian was going to own the games they worked on. Like, it was a new era for them. Weren't they the developers that got fucked over by the publishers with every game they released? Now they're back to working on a publisher-owned games and they dont get a say on the game's publishing?

I guess they consider Paradox the "good kind" of publisher, if such a thing exists.
