TEKUMS

Wow that was a nail bitter! Great job, I couldn't imagine the rush you got from that close of a finish!

I wonder if these will also be affected my the sales as well. Might be worth holding out until the next big steam sale to see.

This is a afterlife I can get behind

I am not surprised at how quickly companies have shifted to AI support. I forsee a frustrating future for anyone looking to get help with anything in the future.

I find myself calling into support just to be sure that I'm talking to an actual person rather than brain dead 'Ai' systems that are more useless than a well made faq.

Lol that's what I get for just reading the headline

Starting in August is a bit late to call it a summer experiment!

Here is an article showing potential breakdown on cost/profits that should be coming to the city. But again, we won't know the full numbers until afterwards.

This is unfortunately something that we can only look at past events and how they preformed. If I remember correctly, Toronto isn't building any new stadiums just for the World Cup games so they stand to make more money as there won't be that huge need for infrastructure projects that would eat into the revenue generated by people coming to the city.

Noclip did a doc about it recently (https://youtu.be/GtNvEna6bxc). I remember seeing it for the first time at a buddies place growing up, but I didn't have a strong enough computer to run it. I did though when black and white 2 came out and it was awesome! I feel the only thing comparable to it currently is the Anno series, no spells or anything but just city management and stuff.

I feel that when it first came out all my podcasts that I was listening to at the time were talking about it for at least 6 months. It really got its hooks into me and I also come back to it occasionally as well.

I found that I really had to put all other games aside and focus on it.

I actually started by playing the first two games before starting 3 and that really helped me focus on just playing 3 because at that point I was super invested. 1 and 2 are both pretty short games (compared to 3) but super different from each other so if you want to give that a try it might be worth it.
