Admittedly, me too. I wasn’t as taken with Paralives to begin with but after the inZoi demo ran poorly on my rig, not an insubstantial rig, I’ll add, it kinda put me off and I’m slightly worried about content. Paralives seems more the tried and true path of The Sims but minus the EA bullshittery.

I don’t think it’s inherently a “straight” issue to think the topic of sexuality can be out of place at times. I don’t think the topic of sexuality should be taboo like it has been historically but, like many topics, I think there’s a time and place for it. In my eye, the only time I need to know a person’s orientation is when I find someone I wish to pursue something with since it’s a key aspect of my chance of success. I believe what someone does and is into is a closed doors affair; it’s their business, not mine. Plenty of times someone’s sexuality is held above someone’s head, quite literally in the case of this casual fishing game where I feel it doesn’t even slightly belong. In these situations, I find myself made uncomfortable because the topic is very mismatched for the context. We’re standing here fishing, so why are you bringing who you like to bang - or not, as the case may be - into the conversation?

And huh, would you look at that, I didn’t bring my own orientation into the mix because it’s not needed.

Life By You, though that one was showing a lot of red flags before it got cancelled. inZoi at least looks more promising.

Admittedly, that’s pretty good… but useless to families that live far from each. It’s difficult for those families to not feel robbed while everyone else now gets an even better experience.

Of course it was quiet, who in their right mind would get hyped for something like that?

Wasn’t all of KSP2’s shortcomings due to corporate meddling though?

I think givesomefucks is more explaining than defending the process in their comment.

Bold words, Take-Two. Bold words.

There needs to be some kind of gold buried somewhere in this new version otherwise I can only see it as another step on the enshittification carousel for an app that has slowly been getting worse over the years.

What are the positives to the new one? I have family in a different country so this is a big loss for me.

A tool in the belt of an incompetent CEO.

It’ll be interesting to see the sales numbers on this. Surely it’s been long enough that it’ll only be the extra few stragglers and the few looking for a hit of nostalgia, right?

What’s the point? Anyone who’s vaguely interested in it is going to know about it, and there’s never going to be anything particularly game changing in a 20th iteration of a franchise. It’s still CoD at the end of the day.

The real surprise is some people were dumb enough to give over 2k

“It’s the pirates’ fault because they prove we’re full of shit”

It doesn’t even make much sense in the PC sphere either. It’s physically possible but in regards to cost and performance, there’s not much to gain from a yearly upgrade cycle.

Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can’t say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

If local supplies are that limited, importing might be your only option short of catching a ferry to the mainland and stuffing a duffel bag with what you’ve been able to buy.

True but they didn’t say 2 in the above comment and with 2 years off, it’s easy to not realise the first wasn’t released in the 2020s without checking.
