Maybe they can save the artist’s disappointment by replacing it with AI art.

Wait.

Or they push a bug by accident that gets the machine into a bootloop? On the bright side hospital and airline computers don’t have GTA installed on them so the impact would be reduced to personal computers.

Among the other things, needing an internet connection to play offline games can prevent some people from playing. Not everybody has a stable internet connection. When I had crappy rural internet I’d download a bunch of games and play when the internet was down. I wouldn’t be able to play this game in that situation.

There’s no Microcenters in Canada. Newegg’s free shipping from their Canadian warehouse is next day for me so I’m happy using that.

The Stanley Parable doesn’t really have a genre, and I don’t think you make another entry into that genre without being derivative. There’s a couple games I can think of that have themes of player agency, Bioshock and to a lesser extent Spec Ops: The Line. Just some ramblings.

You’d never get it there if you don’t retard the timing on the fire truck’s motor.

I didn’t play the original ones that much but I had no idea there was a reboot.

That’s a good way to explain it. “retrofuturism” but from 2008.

Glad to see the updates that came with the Half Life 25th anniversary being brought to other games.
