I haven’t checked in on this game since around launch. Anyone want to bring me up to speed on what’s happening? I gather the latest expansion pack is priced differently than prior DLC?

Also, that line about discussion being a privilege seems icky.

    The part where they said “The right to discuss is a privilege—it is not an entitlement you earn by playing the game” made me laugh out loud. What a ridiculously bad public take hahaha

      Right? Like, if I want to be as charitable as I’m capable of being, I could understand that sentiment if you are talking about your own official forums on your website. Like, sure, if you own the content and the forum, you have the power to determine what is and isn’t acceptable on your platforms. It’s a stupid determination, mind you, but it’s within your power. However the impression I gather from the article is that they’re referring to the Steam forums, which is absolutely asinine to me.

        They are referring to the steam forums, and in one of their own comments in said forum they say that theyre required by steam to have those forums, in response to someone asking why they dont shutter the whole thing if they cant handle responding to bug fixes and the like.

        So its not actually a privilege, its a requirement to sell the game.
