Ohhh tracked music collection? The best! I am still listening to them to this very day (made on Amiga and PC) - They make up my biggest guilty pleasure collection as well (the crazier the better (for me they are the best background music for work) ;) youtu.be/JqZzdzekjVs

I wonder how would a new save icon look like if it were (re)invented today? Not including the downward facing arrow which commonly means download.

And here is my impression: Originally the reason why they didn't make legacy gameplay loops and assets dependent on Odyssey was to let the base game owners - who didn't buy Odyssey - coexist with the EDO players on the 4.0 fork. But then financials plummeted which slowed the game's development.

And Odyssey, similarly to Horizons-Beyond which was not simply an SRV update, is not only FPS. Its on-foot activities should be enhanced but Odyssey is also the new planets, new gameplay loops new engine update, graphics. Every single new update since 2021 is based on Odyssey's tech and framework.

They got it for 90% off and they are review bombing it for the cessation of console support, for being an expansion, for selling new ships for arx, for not having VR, for not having ship interiors, for not understanding gameplay and lying throught heir teeth. No they are not fair and accurate.

On another note about player goodwill: Look at Odyssey's ratings on Steam. The devs have been supplying the game with free updates, ships on full release, rewards, paintjobs and assets for half a decade, sell he game for 75% or 90% off yet people are still review bombing EDO with crazy complaints.

Sorry I stand corrected regarding instant first deployments. I really don't support the shortcuts with instant first building. Even though I get somebody who buys it, wants to see it. But treat it as a proper DLC (minigame) (asset).

Oh yeah... Eh. I really don't support that... Let the higher paying customers buy the DLC asset, but then make them build it up. This is exactly my main concern with the new station: DLC for money might be fine but don't avoid the gameplay with shortcuts!

It seems to me they are cutting out the middleman (Steam's 30% cut, Epic's 12% cut) and are experimenting selling a simple DLC straight from he vendor. Do I think it worths 50k Arx. No. is it P2W? no, bc you will need to haul even more for it. Could Odyssey DLC called P2W with this very logic?
