Obviously we're quite good at football.
It really was better than it had any right to be. Quite generous for a gatcha, and the gameplay was top notch.
I dropped off it a couple years back when the power creep just ended up forcing the grind to a level I wasn't willing to keep up with, but I'd love to see the BRV/HP combat system adapted out into another game.
The idiots behind this shit really should have paid more attention in history class.
Oh, they paid plenty of attention. That's the problem - they're using it as an instruction manual.
Solid state batteries don't exist yet.
So you start with this, but then...
provide you accept that we should making zero emissions chemical fuels
Why do you think we're magically going to find zero emission chemical fuels but aren't going to make solid state batteries? I mean, aside from your being a pretty obvious fossil fuel stooge?
Terrible take.
Solid state batteries will get figured out well before useful non-polluting chemical fuels, rocketing BEVs beyond ICE's wildest dreams.
I think there was some cross-pollination for a couple years beyond that. Sounds like they sold Humble off to be its own thing, but the Wolfire guys were still running it until 2019 (see Wikipedia quote below). Either way, they've got out of Humble well before they filed this suit.
Rosen and Graham, the founders of Humble Bundle [and the CEO and COO, respectively, of Wolfire Games], announced in March 2019 that they have stepped down as CEO and COO of the company, respectively, with Alan Patmore taking over the company operations.
The only benefit of ICE over BEV is quick refueling, and that only matters if you're roadtripping.
The solution is fast-charging BEVs. Edmunds just released a roundup of EV charging times, and showed that with some Hyundais/Kias, you can get 100 miles of range juiced up in 7-8 minutes. Obviously, yes, that's still slower than dumping some dead dinos in your gashole and taking off, but it's still pretty quick.
With further technological refinements over time and infrastructure built to give you something to do during 15-20 minute charges, road trips will be perfectly feasible without ICE and will actually probably be more pleasant.
Wolfire Games created the original Humble Indie Bundle, but they've been divested from it for a few years now. From Wikipedia:
The Humble Bundle concept was initially run by Wolfire Games in 2010, but by its second bundle, the Humble Bundle company was spun out to manage the promotion, payments, and distribution of the bundles. In October 2017, the company was acquired by Ziff Davis through its IGN Entertainment subsidiary.
The comment above that Humble's the ones suing Valve here is inaccurate.
Yes, comical that Valve secured exlusivity of an already-on-sale third-party game to try to drive support of their nascent digital store more than a decade before Epic did it and you fanboys are all just okay with it because you weren't there.
You all try to pretend that Epic invented this sort of exclusivity on PC, but it's been a thing for years and years before they even opened their store. But go on and bury your head in the sand even further about it, I'm sure GabeN will be your bff if you do it hard enough!
But it doesn't remotely imply that? Here are the words/phrases it uses to describe what will happen:
At no point does it say or imply that anything will be removed from your library. In fact, it explicitly says how you can ensure that those games you own will remain playable:
Why would they include that if they're trying to tell people the games will be removed from their library?
Stop fearmongering.
