Same. A friend and I were excited to play together like we did in D3, but we barely managed to finish the campaign. It's on the shelf for now unless/until we hear the team turned things around.

I know the article says it was published one day ago, but the author must've missed an update or something. The Hildir's Request update in August 2023 also gave us world modifiers; we no longer need a mod to portal metal and other restricted items!

Other than they ongoing payments for games I continue to play (hello, World of Warcraft), most of my money now goes toward games from smaller studios that aren't so expensive. Valheim, Timberborn, and many others are well below $70, and now I get to try games from other creators while still affording the couple of big spenders I enjoy.

I see your point - I'm also happy with the current version. That said, I did purchase the app with the expectation of continued development. I'm not demanding major weekly updates in perpetuity or anything, but I don't feel it's unreasonable to want reassurance that the app you paid for hasn't been abandoned a few months after release.

(To be clear, I mentioned in another comment that I know this is normal for Sync and we will likely get more updates down the road. I can just also understand OP's concern.)

I have no concrete answers, but this was fairly common with the Sync for Reddit app as well. We'd go several months without updates before they'd resume for a while and then drop off again.

I'm relatively confident the same will happen here, so updates will probably return soon^TM .

That might be better, but I'd still worry about people rep farming (for lack of a better term). Any time you give people a score, title, or other personal metric, you run the risk of people posting to influence that metric rather than to post for the sake of contributing content.

It's possible the good such a system could do would outweigh the bad, but it will definitely always have elements of both.

While karma might help spam/bots in some ways, I feel like it would also lead to karma farming, which I'm personally happy to not have here. Maybe they could instead allow communities to set requirements for minimum time subscribed or minimum interaction (voting, commenting, etc.) before people could post? I'd prefer that be set per-community, though, and not a site-wide mandate.

You mentioned the Workshop, so I wanted to drop this forum post here in case you weren't aware of the recent news. C:S2 will not have mods available on the Steam Workshop. Mods will be available through Paradox Mods - although not at launch - which will allow for cross-platform mods (yay!) but means you'll need to use Paradox's platform if you want them (not as yay).

Similar to that, yeah, although I think the master/slave thing started earlier. (It's a bit more blatant, tbf.)

I agree that allowlist doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely, but as long as it makes it obvious what the word means, I'll go with it.

Sync! It's what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.

In recent years there's been a shift from "white/black list" to "allow/block list" in an effort to avoid the stereotypes associated with those terms. I wouldn't say it's the new norm yet, but it's slowly becoming more popular.

Like others have commented, unlimited texting has been available in most phone plans for the better part of a decade now; I'd struggle to name a place that offers plans without it.

As for the accented characters, that's something I personally don't encounter much as a native English speaker. I obviously can't speak for those who do need those keyboards, but for me it's not a problem.

With regards to encryption/privacy, I can't say that's a concern I've personally had regarding my texts. Could the government read my messages? Probably, but all they're getting is cute cat pics and random chatter about games and food and whatnot. Again, that's another aspect that's probably more of a concern for people in more sensitive situations, but I can't speak for them.
