  It looks like it used modern Firefox and Thunderbird code under the hood, so it should be good on standards!

  I can tell you why too. They fucked up the map structure at the beginning. They made the world the top level and all the dino and plant assets are under that. Not a problem in the beginning when it's just one map. But they added a second, and a third etc. and all maps needed to contain a copy of those assets. Worse, they let players transport stuff from one map to another. So if you only have the base game, your friend can come visit and use the pokeball to spawn in a couple of dragons or other DLC creature. You need to be able to see that so you need to have those assets too, even in just the base game. So, now every map needs to have a copy of all possible dinos from all DLCs. 11 maps. 11 copies of all assets. Bye bye drive space.

  Don't forget Wildcard. Ark Survival is an absurd 200+ Gb monstrosity. And there is sooooo much duplicate data.

  I still don't understand how a company gets to decide to stop trafing their stock....

  Same here. The most coop fun I had since Deep Rock Galactic.

  I don't mind paying for something if the game is good, as long as it is not pay to win. I bought some starter pack for Path of Exile. I have hundreds of hours in that game, so I bought some stash tabs and cosmetics.

  A bit, but with rougelike random missions instead. I played the demo during steamfest. I liked it.

  Monthly fees and published sunsets are fine, because then customers know what they are getting in to. Selling you a single player game for 50 euro, then yanking the game away 3 months later is not.
