Inflation applies to games that are actively being developed for sure. Games don't program themselves. You need people to do it. Those people need wages to pay rent/food/utilities. If the prices of those things go up they'll need higher wages which will usually come from higher prices on the game that in this case, they continuously develop.

Don't buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.

The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won't get to profit off what they created.

It's a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>

Very little actual screen time with monsters. Like maybe 5-10 minutes tops if I recall. But their presence is always felt from the tension in the characters.

Definitely more of a character based story in the framework of a monster horror.

Edit: whoops disregard this thought it was the original a quiet place

This is a fella with unquestionable principles. I love the guy.

But we really need someone like you know, younger or were gonna run into the same cryptkeeper problems very soon.

The guy is an effective cheerleader for any cause he really believes in. I mean he almost singlehandedly extended benefits to 9/11 first responders on the strength of his eloquence.

Thing is he doesn't want to do it. Which makes me want him to do it even more. Something about great leaders not seeking power but having it thrust upon them in times of need like a George Washington

Original devs got screwed over by the publisher and have encouraged folks to pirate it as not to let the publisher profit from their shittiness.

Star Control 2 was a seminal gaming experience for me in my younger days and I'm pretty pumped about a proper sequel to it from the original creators, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, after so many years!

After the lackluster "sequels" (Star Control 3 and Star Control: Origins) that were made largely without the original developers input, I had pretty much given up the franchise for dead till now.

Still like 27 days to go on their Kickstarter at the time of this posting so get on the Frungy hype train while you can!

For those of you not in the know, you can get Star Control 2 for free on Steam and see what the pinnacle of DOS adventure gaming was all about :D
