It's far past time for American companies to espouse some American values like freedom and democracy rather than boot licking foreign dictators for nickles.

Epic Game Store was the nail in their coffin. They all wanted to have their own Steam and rake in all the revenue directly but didn't want to invest the time and effort to build a platform like Steam. Valve virtually stopped making gam

Dune did get the 4X treatment (well 1992 4x) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(video_game) I've been waiting for this remake. This was one of my favorites back in the day.

I was single, lived in a different state, and had a different career when I backed this game a decade ago. Delayed doesn't really cover it.

Do you plan on retiring before or after 2050? I have been hearing MS tools and languages are dead and buried for two decades. They'll be here long after I retire.

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for someone ill suited to food delivery gets injured, robbed, assaulted, or worse. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it during normal times never mind during a pandemic. Seems like
