Oh, I know, but I was calling out that the numbers they report downplay the significance of the physical game market.

Also, that doesn't really tell the whole story. We don't know how much people who buy physical still interact with digital goods. Nor do we know how removing digital may shift consumers elsewhere.

Assuming that by removing physical you'll push a majority to buy your digital goods is an assumption, not a guarantee.

For example, I've moved away from consoles because if I'm going to buy it digitally, I might as well buy it for PC. That gives me greater control over how I play my games as well as more control over my games.

I read it once from the beginning (up to wherever it was at that point) and you can actually see the art improve over time, it's actually kinda cool.

That being said someone may have taken over at some point, but there is definitely a natural progression over the first like decade (estimate) of releases.

I was looking into how cost effective it would be to upgrade/build a new rig - from my research I think you'd struggle to make a new build that runs 4K/60 under $1000. I feel like the steam machine is maybe $100-200 above a similar build, but that ignores things like size/wattage/CEC

No shame in story mode, the combat is definitely harder than skyrim. That being said, I do like that since there isn't level scaling, combat difficulty lets me know if I should actually be picking a fight (like finding an orge in early game and realizing I can barely damage it).

Completely agree on the lore and wyrdness too. It's been a bit refreshing to play something that, while pulling from other fantasy, seems to really build and flesh out its own lore.

Just started playing this and blown away by it. Combat feels better than skyrim, and while it nerfs my "stealth Archer" approach it makes you actually utilize multiple mechanics while fighting.

If you havent tried it, I would suggest "Dread Delusion". It's ps1 like graphics, and definitely has parred down mechanics, but the world building, exploration, missions, and story are really enjoyable.
