    Why? They are not live service games.

      Despite that, I’ve heard from friends there’s been some major changes since the sale… and they’re not good.

      Not live service, but an update broke a lot of stuff and people aren’t too happy about it.

        That’s the DLC for RoR2 that came out like 4 days ago - it’ll get fixed.

        That doesn’t change RoR or RoR Remaster - plus… having been playing RoR2 Seekers of the Storm, I feel like people are being a little too sweaty - seems rather fine imo

          The DLC didn’t break the game, the updates to the game to support the DLC broke the game. I don’t own the DLC but hit major game breaking bugs playing RoR2 last night. Gearbox is breaking shit 100%

            They’ll get better at managing bugs. What we’ll have to watch out for is other shit.

            In particular, I’m not keen on the main menu ad for the DLC they slapped on, which stays even if you own the DLC.

              Well I already run an adblocker in 1 game so I guess another won’t hurt. At least after I’m actually willing to update. (Yes there is a mod that does that)

            Worst me and my fiancé have experienced is one enemy fell through the map after being punched by the new character – not exactly game breaking

              me when the final boss is literally unkillable sometimes and many things are now tied to fps (so if you have 200 fps loader will move like 3 times faster)

        Oh I do play it regularly as well but I would never let a minor setback like this to gate me from one of my favourite games.

        You can download old depots from Steam and even keep games from updating. Very useful if you want to try outdated mods or prevent devs like Beat Games from forcing monthly updates on you.

        Not really excusing Gearbox since I like to think that I’m sane but the game is really good. They really should’ve released the update as a beta first.
