As a fan of the original, I still haven't played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.

That being said, I also haven't played any of the farming sim games, though that's because they look incredibly boring--no offense to those who enjoy them, they're just not for me.

FS’25 isn’t locked to Epic.

It's not a games job to protect the children, but the parents job. It's pretty weird we've got to this point here.

I think you replied to the wrong post (maybe a client bug?)

The context here is hilarious. Makes it seem like farming simulator is some kind of super subversive, fucked up thing we shouldn't allow children to play. lol

"What if they actually become farmers? That's not what we want for our children is it?"

If our kids become farmers they’d have to rely on goberment subsidies and I’m not raising no socialist!!!

Can you grow hemp in farm simulator

[–] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Definitely. Can't remember if it's in the base game (update: no, it's a mod) but it works like cotton and tobacco.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 4 hours ago

You can if you get it on PC and install mods to be able to.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

It's not farm sim, but Project Zomboid has some decent farming mechanics (and a shitload of mods). A lot of the very popular mods just add drugs into the game. A couple of those highest rated ones add a ton of weed stuff to the game (papers; grinders; bongs; pipes; farmable seeds and hemp with different strains, stages of growth, and even disease the plants can catch). Modders are wild.

Funny comparison. One is a yearly multiplayer-ish release and the other is a sequel to a 13 year old singleplayer action game. I have no doubt AW2 could sell a ton more copies… but they’ve decided they don’t want that

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No, they decided that Epic was the best bet to get the game done at all as they were willing to finance it, and this is the unfortunate outcome.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, I’m aware of why they went with Epic, but if Epic wanted to make more of a return they’d put the game on the platform with more paying users. But they decided they don’t want that

Sorry, I thought you were blaming Remedy and not Epic.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Fair, I wasn’t clear! I’m sure Remedy would LOVE to get the game in as many player’s hands as they could
