It’s still a bullshit move, and I’m gonna get some hate here, but you’re not wrong. I don’t think most of the folks commenting played the first game. Fast travel is kinda defeating the purpose of a lot of the design too.
Again, still a silly move for them and ZERO excuse for the character edit vouchers.
You’re describing a Steam Machine, and I guess they were just years ahead of their time. 🤷♂️
