One that felt most silly to me was “does your world have spinoff adventures and one-shots or is it one big story”, because this question assumes

A) I have “my” world

B) I always use that world

C) That there is a “main” story

D) Any deviation from that “main” story is a “spinoff”

E) That one-shot adventures have anything to do with any of the above points

There’s definitely a version of that question I could answer, but it would be more like one of these (and I’m honestly not sure which the question means):

• “Does your group play one continuous campaign or a variety of episodic scenarios?”

• “Do you always use the same homebrew setting when you run campaigns?”

• “Does your game have a single primary story, or are players free to pursue their own objectives and deviations?”

Liminal Horror has an excellent mechanic for this in their “Fallout” system. They also are pretty clearly inspired by the Resident Evil Series

My neighbour growing up was a cop. He and his wife were Christian fundies who had like 8 kids.

I literally never had a single bad interaction with them, and by all accounts he was an alright dad to those kids. I still see him when I visit my folks for the holidays, and when I do, I see his kids now all grown up with kids of their own visiting their parents

Maybe you could, but the whole point of the steam deck is the ability to play any PC game, and most require mouse input to play well. Most people would be unwilling to make that tradeoff

Every single one of the competitors I’ve seen makes at least two of the following mistakes, each of which means they don’t stand a chance:

• Windows
• Display resolution > 720p
• No trackpads
• Awful layout

The game almost definitely has an EULA that covers this exact situation.

Class action lawsuits only work if a law has been broken.

I guess you could say that the consumers chose to buy the game, knowing that it had a dependency on an online service that they weren’t being charged an ongoing cost for. Obviously that’s a bit of a cop-out answer, but I I agree with you that if game companies shut down their servers, they should release the server code. Or at very least the API of the server so that it can be reverse engineered more easily.

I think it’s more just that the server running cost is an ongoing cost, while each purchase of the game is a one-time cost. So even though the server cost is likely very low (all it does is host level designs and some metadata around them), eventually sales for the game were bound to drop to the point that they would be losing money on the servers. Honestly, given how poorly the WiiU sold and how long ago it came out, I’m surprised they kept it going this long, but I supposed that just speaks to the cheapness of the server running cost.

Because not enough people are buying it to justify the server running costs?
