  • The game was done at launch. I played through the campaign the first month after it was released. I would have been happy with what was in the game a year ago

    People bought the game and that enabled larian to keep working on it. So they got to polish and add in the stuff that had been left on the cutting room floor we’d have never otherwise seen due to that pesky reality of not being able to ship a finished product if the scope kept growing.

    So now, a year after release, there’s a whole DLC’s worth of content in the game that we just get for free.
















  • Doesn’t matter, in the end, because it’s the same story for tons of us out there. The company I work at now makes a product that only works on Windows. It’s in most of the power plants in the country. You’ve never heard of us unless you are one of half a dozen people at each power plant. There are thousands and thousands of companies just like mine, cranking out software that only works on Windows.

    I think the only thing that will change this trend is the raspberry pi and machines like it. Make it so cheap to equip your employees with a Linux machine that it’s impossible to ignore.

    Even then, though, 10 hours of lost productivity a month makes the windows machine the more valuable buy for even a low paid employee.
