"thanks to new update"

Could it also possibly be because they're giving the game out for free?

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

maybe but a lot of people already played it, and a lot didn't want to play an "ancient" game, with the update this changes

They're doing what?!

What was updated?

[-] PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 43 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They added some bonus content including a mini-campaign originally bundled with other products, and added a bunch of QoL updates for modern systems (including but not limited to the Steam Deck).

Nice thanks for the response. I had a long day at work and didn’t have a chance to look yesterday. If you hadn’t responded I would have forgotten about this. I appreciate your reply.

It's actually pretty impressive. The change notes are really long for this.

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Was trying to get my family the free copies yesterday and it was bugging out hard trying to complete the orders lol.

Will have to try again tonight.
