Do you want similar games? Something old? Something new? Something borrowed? Something blue?

If you're looking for more gather resources, craft upgrades, stealth around, climb shit games, theres the Tomb Raider reboots, or BOTW/TOTK.

Cyberpunk 2077 has the all the free roaming outfit hoarding mayhem your heart desires.

Gothic 1 Remake is hot off the presses if you're looking for more fantasy dino fights.

If you enjoyed the reflex action combat, Expedition 33 has that in spades (but is turn-based)

There's no shortage of good options out there.

I mean, it seems like we're gonna be paying them fuckloads of money to do the same thing they were doing, so that's new I guess.

That's cool, but like, what's new??

I feel like the last couple of Android releases have been so AI focused, if you're rocking an OS without the Gemini bullshit generator there hasn't been a ton of change - curious what I have to look forward to.

IDK that it's much less than 1% of general users, considering it's .4% of the total global population, and even as #1 not everyone uses Chrome on desktop (but also some people have multiple desktops...).

But your point is still valid, if the roughly 1% desktop market share shifts to FF, not a lot is likely to change.

They're a trillion dollar company, they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as the penalty remains fines.

"Swift" is a meaningless PR term. If they release a slightly less buggy updated Gemini 9 months later they can call it "rapid innovation" or whatever.

It is, in locations with consumer fiber. Had it at the last place I lived, and hands down it was the hardest thing to give up when we moved.

Man, where's the editorial integrity at Ars gone? Don't they know it's "XBOX" now? Problem solved.

Big fan of the original Gothic and just got a new monitor I wanted to put through its paces - picked this up earlier this week. So far it's incredibly faithful to the original - nostalgia left and right.

It's got some QOL improvements, but so far the most noticeable changes are lockpicking and the ore economy - both improvements IMO.

Lockpicking is harder, but putting levels into it makes it much more manageable. IDK why there is so much backlash on this one.

For the economy, gone are the days you can finance your whole lifestyle on stolen cheese - items lose value when sold in bulk to traders, making ore a little more precious.

For new players: Like the original, there's no tutorials, enemies are difficult if you're under-leveled. Save often and learn through experimentation.
