anybody on the left withholding their vote at this point fundamentally disbelieves in a system with exactly two discrete options, so this type of post doesn't persuade anybody

giving somebody a gift card for a product or service you think they specifically will enjoy is objectively more personal than giving them cash, yes

the writing, yes

but if their engine is "perfectly tuned" then that means their engine is informing their design

they can't make good design choices because they have to work within the limitations of an over-fitted engine

They've probably also put considerable work into the next project already

fallout 4 was 9 years ago, and people wanted them to switch to a new engine then

you're right, of course, but good lord have they had ample time to course correct since then

counterpoint: if it isn't the engine holding them back, then everyone left is just fundamentally bad at designing games (i'm not counting "let's just copy what we designed last time" as design), and that's worse

josh sawyer has said their engine has the best content creation pipeline he's worked with, which is probably why they're reluctant to give it up

but surely at this point they have to be doing something in the background to move to a different one. i seriously doubt they didn't try to get space-to-surface flight working, but evidently the engine didn't let them...which is more or less the same story as every other time they've tried to break out of the mold they've carved for themselves. it always ends up a janky mess.

whenever they build out actual new mechanics for the engine, like the settlement building in fo4, or the space flight in starfield, they're always just grafted on, rather than being interwoven with existing systems.

You can keep using win10 without security updates

if you want to be part of a botnet in a few years, sure

just be smart about it

being smart about it means not using an unsupported os
