no you see africa is clearly full of old computers sitting around with plentifiul electricity, but they're all too snobby to use windows xp on them in 2014 so a linux liveusb is needed to use the computers

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

There's nothing stopping them from making a space game and using Saints Row or Red Faction or a completely new IP.

Maybe they don't think it would sell. I mean as cool as elite dangerous looks to be, I can't see it being a huge blockbuster.

a space sim set in the saints row universe might be the greatest loving thing ever made and gently caress you for suggesting it because now it's my dream game that will never happen

i guess now i have to do what everyone else with a dream space sim does and give $5000 to chris roberts

also they don't really have to be huge blockbusters, X and its many many sequels haven't sold particularly well, but they've sold well enough to keep the company afloat (although egosoft's "release now regardless of the shape it's in and patch for the next year" strategy is getting really old and they're losing what goodwill they had from the community)

on the flip side, they could also just say "gently caress it none of that poo poo happened it was all a dream" because it's saints row and who gives a gently caress about continuity?

i'm p sure the red faction corporation reference is just an easter egg anyway
