6th September 2023, with a showcase happening 11th June 2023
Awesome news, but a shame the company is not from Europe, else would have released on June 9th
I'm somewhere in the middle of both extremes. There are some games I don't touch because their anti-cheat / DRM software is way too invasive (basically installing a rootkit on your computer), but I have no problem using Steam. In fact, older CDs / DVDs of games have given me more problems on modern Windows than Steam ever has. Some of my favorite games are only available on Steam, and I wouldn't let ideological principles keep me from playing them.All a personal choice at the end of the day, I prefer just playing games
That said, I will be a bit miffed if Steam's version of Starfield requires a Microsoft account to play, being an OFFLINE game... Crap like that is what pushes honest people to piracy.. One of the reasons I hope XPlane 12 "gits gud" someday is I'd like an alternative to MSFS (notice the emphasis). I don't even like running Windows, LOL, but at least I've been able to subdue my copy of Windows - no obnoxious updates, no phoning home, just good 'ol Windows "Legacy".
Saw last Anno on Steam and considered buying as a complete edition. It requires Ubi Account and knowing their always online I didnt buy.
Interesting to note, that both big AAA games this year, Baldurs Gate 3 and Starfield release exactly 1 week from each other.
Is September some sort of special month for game releases?

I initially fell foul of the American date format and for a moment thought it was coming in June

How about a nice game of Chess?
Anyone taking bets on if it will be worse than Oddy's launch?
The guy walking into the rotating rings to become a deity is sooo not No Mans Sky...

Never been a fan of abstract strategy games.
Will it be on a computer? In the video everyone is holding gamepads.
Yes
Because gamepads are easier to control a game while on a couch (a kb/mouse really needs a table/desk)
UI and controls for gamepads suck for kb/m control schemes, though.
In the Elite, if you press the 3 key, you can see the joystick to control the ship. But in real life it is much more difficult to control it than kb/m, I mean faoff mode.
I mean if you design your game for gamepads and not for kb/m you may find the kb/m users struggling with the controls. Each method needs care. Simply porting from one to the other doesn't work out well.
Okay. What is the purpose of the development of the Elite if you put your head down in the game (key 3) we see the joystick?
No idea.
I bet my fine feathers that not only will it be better than Oddy at launch, it'll be better than Oddy today!
It seems useful in vdeos when trying to figure out complicated flight maneuvers, but I never look at them anyway.
