Wars are won (and lost) as a result of supply chain logistics.

One of the most important elements of the war machine is a well-fed and well-equipped soldier. As such, most armies have dedicated logistics divisions to ensure supplies, weapons, and machinery get to where they are needed on time.

Consequently, supply chain interdiction or disruption is a powerful weapon of war. To interfere with your enemy's logistical operations is to reduce the overall effectiveness of their combatants and thus their strategy.

Modern-day Russia was not prepared for this war to last as long as it has, their commanding officers have little regard for their soldiers, and they've historically had poor logistics to begin with.

This makes it easy to disrupt their supply chains, if they were even set up in the first place. Add this to tribalist infighting and a general lack of cohesion and you end up with people going hungry.

Can't believe that's the pricing these days. Good grief, the poor tax is real...

Taking my son to the zoo tomorrow! Don't think he's going to get any sleep tonight, he's so excited, bless him 😅

It's a huge jump. Difficult to compare it to a game on another platform though.

I agree, Unity's aggressive monetisation encourages devs/publishers to do the same. Tbf, the guy behind it all has been quoted saying that anyone who doesn't aggressively monetise their game is an idiot...

Thought a discussion on this might be interesting. Unity may be signing their death but the decisions will have an impact on lots of studios and games in the meantime.

Not really sure what to do with this particular one myself. I've been really looking forward to Hometopia but this is a difficult pill to swallow for a game that proudly stated it would "always be free-to-play".

 

Originally planned to be free-to-play, the upcoming co-op house-builder and designer sim Hometopia will now cost $19.99 during the Early Access period beginning Sept 27th.

In apology, a 15% launch discount was announced alongside the above.

Damn, that's some bad mojo.

If anyone is a user...

One of my schools didn't have a dress code in the way you imagine it. There were rules, but only in the broadest sense (no nudity and such). A kimono would not have been considered to be in violation.

Studies show that wind turbines kill a fraction of a percentage of the total bird population. Not ideal, but ultimately negligible.
