Well tbf, on most devices it’s usually disabled by default so this is one of the typical “well 99% of our users are unaffected so eat it or go away”. Always kinda dick-ish to do something like this.

Idk, for me it seems like they are really trying this time unlike with FO76. Like sure you can and should still absolutely be cautious, it might release in a bad state for lots of people but IMO we should just hope it does not.

IMO in terms of the actual content of the game it looks like what you would expect from a mainline BGS RPG. A giant version of Elder Scrolls/Fallout in space and if that’s the case the game will be fantastic. The only thing that could ruin it is bugs that make the game unplayable. There will be bugs either way, Skyrim to this day has many but as long as they’re not game breaking it should be fine.

I personally really hope the game is good and succeeds. Nobody in this industry makes RPGs like Bethesda and I really crave for a new one to sink in 100s of hours and then add mods to it to make it even better.

I’m sure they do but I have no doubt a ton of people also simply are in the typical “I don’t care, it doesn’t affect me directly but the subs going dark does so it’s bad” mode as many are with lots of things these days sadly.

Problem is it will work lul. Just read some comments in some subs that are restricted like the Star Wars one. Kinda sad to see people bend over so easily only because they cannot post in their sub for a few days. Like, geez doesn’t matter at all what % of people use 3rd party apps. A little bit of inconvenience doesn’t kill anyone and it’s good to stand up for stuff like this as well.
