spaceblancmange posted:The only thing I didn't like was you get a gun at a specific point but before that you can collect ammo and kill some armed looters but can't pick up the guns they drop. It's a deliberate design choice to not let you have a gun early, fine but I had to stop playing and google the issue thinking I had a bug. the main thing that annoyed me was that the Alien learns based on what you do to ditch her, but if you simply outwait her and don't use any dirty tricks, she gains random awarenesses anyway to make sure the late game isn't too easy. this put me in a situation later on where it turned out that the noisemakers i had been holding onto for ~just this occasion~ had randomly become useless. it's still a very good game, but man that was the fastest i have gone from in it to win it to dropping a game into the cooler.

Apparently Brigador is free if you claim it through GOG Galaxy.

I've seen that reported as well but I can't find it as being free myself.

Wow, can't more apologies be like that? I think that's probably the best thing that guy could have done/said.

JazzFlight posted:Wow, can't more apologies be like that? I think that's probably the best thing that guy could have done/said. It’s a good apology except for the fact he said some heinous poo poo the same month he posted that. Which he doesn’t address there, instead implying that this is mostly old stuff. So it’s tough to take at face value. That said, one person doing bad things in a closed space, even if that person is a co-founder, doesn’t mean the rest of the team shares those beliefs or would act that way.

Every time someone brings up that someone's a lovely person it's a matter of seconds before someone else jumps in with "Oh so we're supposed to check every single person in the world" and it's always the most loving obnoxious poo poo.

Given how vague "suspending my involvement" is, I wouldn't assume that he's no longer profiting from it.

I guess that depends on whether the other devs were aware of what he was saying and whether they attempted to do anything about it before someone posted the deets and made it go too public for them to avoid

Was that it for the UBI freebies? Like 2 DLCs for games i dont own and 1 game? Not that I expect them to give stuff for the whole month or anything. Just wondering if I'm missing something.

Brigador's dude getting exposed was high profile enough that people have heard about it, and if that spoils the game for them then that's fine. First off, if you're replying this way simply to get a rise, you can gently caress right off. For this specific case, other than this discussion in this thread, I don't know or care who this guy is. Since it has been brought to attention, I now know(still mostly a generic video game guy, but whatever) and don't jump to "happily support" them, if I even remember this when when I click on the gimme free game button. More generally though, whats the line for what media creators I need to vet before I can enjoy them properly and responsibly? Hearing a new song on the radio do I need to quick look up who it is and get their loving life story before the song ends or else I'm complicit? How far back is the statute of limitations on media? is there a line to burn my CDs and books that have problematic associations over the years? I swear I'm not trying to be a dick or anti-snowflake or whatever label y'all seem to be applying. Obviously when things like this come up people sometimes pay attention or learn things. If it's priveledge that I don't feel the need to dig deep into every piece of media before it, then I don't even know. This is what I meant by a discussion for another place, not the free game thread Back to not reading and just looking for links to click on, gently caress it

Hard to tell which one was the freebie, since it has a different banner pic then the others. But looks ok.

Cool, free Briga-- welp, this is complicated. Is there a thread where goons debate the ethical consumption of games? I'm a bit curious about supporting large studios. Aside from the more obvious "supporting an evil corporation," the larger the business, the greater the chance that you're indirectly supporting all kinds of jerks.
