Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks! Your last argument was a pretty clear and good argument for why it feels a bit icky. I think it’s most convincing when comparing against the developers personal site.

It’s less clearly bad (to me) when comparing epic games vs steam or some other storefront. In what is probably a bad move, I mostly use Steam for gaming. It’s convenient and just works. Having a game available for less on a different, but considerably worse, platform would be a hassle.(because the platform has a better kickback for that developer as a temporary way to boost their platform) At least this way, they’ll have to offer it for the same price on Steam in most cases.

I’m a dumb dumb. Can someone explain why this is bad?

I’m sure there’s some reason. I’m just missing it. Wouldn’t this mean that steam will always have the lowest/same price as other storefronts and I’m most likely to pick the storefront that I prefer?

I assume this doesn’t apply to temporary sales?

My kids played this co-op and loved it

Seemed like a pretty solid coop game to me!

Limiting the scope doesn’t mean copying. It means keeping the feature list low so that you have something workable in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise you’ll get overwhelmed and likely never finish.

This is one of the reasons I’m a big fan of the pico-8 “fantasy console”. It nearly forces you to limit the scope of your game. There’s plenty of interesting and fun games on that platform that are heavily limited in scope.

If you’re using a roomba, the app will typically tell you when to replace your brushes and filter. The filter you can find easy replacements for as well as the little spinning brush. The bigger brushes are harder. You can buy replacements from third party vendors for cheap, but they’re not perfect… and if you have carpeting the roomba will freak out until the third party brushes wear down a bit. After that happens, everything mostly works.

I usually clean out the roomba every week and replace the brushes every 4 months or so. I run mine nightly though (I have kids).

Anyone have any details on why the airships were problematic?
