I wanted to and I agree, it being semi open wouldn’t have been an issue for me but too much goodwill was lost for me to do so unfortunately.

Yeah same here i even came back when it was “getting good again” and had a resurgence but the selling shit that was literally free in other games, nah.

And the “10 years” game gets the premature death it deserves. I was super psyched when this was announced only to then hear it was free to play. Released broken, with a fully functionally MTX store because of course. Campaign as an afterthought, no forge, no game mode selection (until backlash got it implemented). A shit show from start to finish.

An AI was given a “shop” to run, here’s the part I though was funny in relation to the article in question that I’ll link in an edit soon:

The following day, April 1st, the AI then claimed it would deliver products “in person” to customers, wearing a blazer and tie, of all things. When Anthropic told it that none of this was possible because it’s just an LLM, Claudius became “alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security.”
