Honestly I can't get too worked up. This is how capitalism works. Screw over the people to make more profit for your shareholders. People are just mad because this time they noticed, and they noticed because video games are serious business. Ah yes, the old 'it's all capitalism's fault' argument. Sorry no. This has nothing to do with capitalism. To the contrary, this is wokeness gone mad, where being woke means 'how dare anyone criticize China!' in exactly the same way as Google and Facebook and other woke Big Tech companies love to kiss China's ass. 1

The art features a number of iconic Halo franchise vehicles, including its Scorpion tanks and Warthogs, clearly emblazoned with the UNSC logo — the United Nations Space Command. Stellaris: Galaxy Command appears to overlay a character model over the image of Halo 4’s vehicles, as seen in screenshots posted to Reddit. Why has elegance found so little following?

You are right that this was not a PDS (the team that designed the megacorp in-jokes) ****-up. This is, however, very much a PDX ****-up. They chose to sub-contract the game to what is likely the cheapest and fastest Chinese alternative "Game Bear Tech" -- who promptly delivered what is, according to accounts from people who have tried the beta, simply a reskin of their own Nova Empire MTX trash heap. So yeah, even if Martin Anward or Daniel Moregård didn't have any hand in this dumpster fire, the board most definitely did, but somehow expected it to go over well in a typical example of executive disconnect.

Hawke64 Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Does anyone know when (if) The Outer Worlds is going to be released on GOG? It's the only platform that allows to control versions of games, so I'd prefer to use it, if possible.
ShadySands Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 One year after release at the earliest and if at all Free games updated 3/4/21
Zoraptor Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I suspect it will get to GOG as it is a good fit and isn't MP/ steamworks etc, but yeah, minimum of a year even without any EGS exclusivity. IIRC the shortest time from general release to GOG release was Mafia 3, which took just over a year. 1
Wormerine Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I don't know if it will come to GOG any time soon. Those big releases usually tend to avoid GOG for a long time. Pre-epic announcements were about steam releases, As others said, if it will happen, it will be a year from now, at the earliest.
melkathi Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Good thing those releases back then weren't exclusive 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
