Now do GOG!

There is no DRM on GOG. You can just download the offline installer, then install it even without an internet connection. It will never ask you to go online because it doesn’t need to check anything.

If I tell you I’m your god and you should give me all your money or you won’t go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can’t really prove that I’m not.

You won’t say “oh I guess there’s no way to prove he’s not god, so I’d better give him my money”.

In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn’t, unless there’s solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.

Which did you use to prove there is? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

He’s only not evil because he can’t understand his actions.

A god would have to be dumb for this logic to apply.

I’d rather they didn’t do this at all.

Please, let’s not nornalize nickel-and-diming your customers.

It’s mechanically great but the story is… Not good.

I wish they were more upfront about the GOG release date.
I’ll gladly buy this once it’s available DRM-free, like its predecessor.

It replicates it well enough for me to still be playing it regularly 20 years later and well enough to debunk the myth that every multiplayer game must automatically become unplayable with time (“die”) solely due to the fact that it’s multiplayer.

I can also still play UT2K4 with my friends, should I want to. I can’t do either of these with a “live service” game where there is no offline mode or self-hostable servers.

Also, you ignored my mention of PZ, which is a multiplayer-enabled game which also won’t die when the developer dies (or abandons the game).

I’m still playing Unreal Tournament 2004 just fine with bots. I don’t need a community to play Project Zomboid with my SO. Your claim is factually incorrect.

Cool, I’ll buy it once it comes to GOG.

A while ago I wrote an extensible dummy data generator for Java.

I needed to fake some scientific data for a project at work and wasn’t satisfied with how closed for modification existing data generation solutions were, so I decided to tackle writing a library on my own.

It was my first major contribution to open source and had some architectural challenges which were fun to solve, not to mention the learning experience :)

AFAIK, yes.

Isn’t he only a CEO? What exactly did he himself create?

You’re not “supposed to” upgrade every year, that’s the point. You should be able to use a 5 year old phone if you want to.

I’m still waiting for a GOG release.

Solid engine costs extra. That’s the entire point.

… And then spend twice or thrice the buying price fixing random things that break in a car that spends most of its time parked at the mechanic.

I don’t know what web3 is doing there, but I imagine this is terrifying if you’re doing IT for western companies in China.
