The Outer Worlds 2 came out October 29th, 2025 (not even 4 months ago). So for it to already be at 30% 2 months after release gives me hope that it’ll go down much more next sale. I’m assuming it didn’t sell that well on steam just looking at number of reviews and all time player count peak.

I figured that the new update would come out for the 10th anniversary, but from the interview it sounds like it won’t. Eagerly awaiting it to start a new playthrough.

Didn’t mind the first one, but you are out of your mind if you think I would pay $70 for this game. Especially after they tried to sell it for $80 at first. Thank god that didn’t fly. Fuck you Microsoft.

It’s crazy too, because most games that launch for $70, you can just wait 3 months and then they’ll have a 30% sale. I will be picking it up this March, should go on sale for like 40%.

I’m actually torn on this philosophy.

On one hand, yea you’re not giving EA money, which is a win. But on another, when you don’t buy a game like Split Fiction, they make less money on that product. Money is the only thing EA cares about, and they track how much a product makes. So, if a game like Split Fiction doesn’t make as much money, they probably would be less inclined to make it in the future. Then we get stuck with shit like Fifa/Apex, since you know people are going to spend money on that regardless.

So in the end I still buy stuff like It Takes Two, because I support that work. That game was amazing. However, I tend to buy them on sale.

What makes you so upset over people “attacking” the AAA industry? Most of the big AAA players release literal garbage, games filled with anti-consumer practices. Not only do they tend to release “unfinished” like No Mans Sky did, but they also have DRM, microtransactions, third party launchers + accounts that take your data. Who cares if they get attacked? I honestly wish people would do more.

I don’t really understand what it is you have a problem with.

“and Hello Games never actually apologized for lying.” Good. I don’t want a corporate apology. Apologies from companies literally mean nothing. What matters is your actions. They have updated the game, for free, and still have no microtransactions. No third party launcher or account needed. Can be played offline. You buy the game, you get the game. That is RARE these days.

Should they have released the game in the first place? No. If you don’t support that, then don’t buy it. I don’t really like that, so I bought it on sale for like $30 instead of its full price of $60, which in my opinion was worth it.

There are plenty of problems in the gaming industry right now, I think NMS’s “redemption” arc is the least of your worries.
