There's little business sense to make it exclusively for the current player base. You'd be risking wringing your customers dry. It HAS to attract new players and thus new income sources. If they can't compete, then it's not worth the time and money to create and maintain those tools. You compete with other companies in a space purely by investing your time and money in that space because anything spent is expected to eventually turn a profit.

While the obesity part is kind of a digression, I think they were pretty clear: protein powder is a waste if you have a typical American diet and are not exercising, which is apparently most Americans. While protein powder on its own isn't snake oil, it effectively is for most people.

Nextcloud also has this

The problem really is the servers. There was a golden day or 2 just after the 3.23 patch launched and before everyone jumped on after hearing about it where things were running so well. Right now the servers are overloaded with people back to check out the big patch and new players from ILW. When the servers get full and errors start building up is when things get nasty. Their server meshing in 4.0 can't come soon enough.

Users who don't want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they're available to avoid the long build times.

The analog camera works great, but the motion blur scenes have a lot more grain now, at least to my eyes

Alpha and beta aren't really the same though. Alpha is meant to be unstable and feature incomplete while beta is supposed to be simply missing polish. For Alpha reviews to have real value they need to provide that context. Otherwise, it's just an exercise for the reviewer

It's for that reason I was actually looking forward to seeing it, I was curious about what Remedy could make.

Remedy has earned my trust from years of bangers. I'll happily hear them out. Besides:

Remedy also confirmed that Condor will be a “service-based fixed price” game rather than a free-to-play title.

If everyone can rave about how great and fair Helldivers 2 is with the same business model, then they can give Remedy a chance.
