Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

You are making the mistake of conflating game quality with profit. He did not lessen the profitability of the games, on the contrary, and that is what the board cares about, not the quality of games.
They have a very dedicated flock of whales (the industry term for microtransaction addicts). They know they have them hooked, and they are obviously intent on bleeding those whales dry for everything they own.
I don’t care how much I liked a game, if any publisher acted in this way I would never consider touching any of their games. This is absolutely criminal behaviour.
“The game isn’t boring for the reasons that you think, it is boring for these completely secret reasons.”
Ok.
The “but the game is good now” people are the ones who showed him he can do exactly the same thing again without any serious repercussions.
Yes, those poor scammers, won’t somebody think of them?
But they always intended to make it better and gradually did, because they are an actual gaming company with actual devs. The “devs” of The Day Before never did.
They are not “down”. They have run away with the money, they are scammers who have done this before and they don’t deserve any pity.
It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.
It doesn’t bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.
I’m getting strong “free games you got when you buy cereal” vibes off of this. Or at least games whose sole purpose for existing is to promote something else.
And the album was released in 1995, so lots of gen x would be in their late teens early twenties when it was released, prime audience for it.
And of course as long as your cooking pot is large enough and you are actually being present, then there shouldn’t be any risk of it boiling over and thus no need for any oil.
Your stir at the beginning to ensure that each piece of pasta is properly engulfed by water. But after that there really shouldn’t be much need of stirring, the pasta moves around in the water on its own.
The main problem with that is that you can’t make the types very small with wood, and the singlemost expensive ingredient in this whole printing press concept is the paper.
So you would end up having books with very little text on each page, and especially in a slave economy, it would just be much cheaper to make handwritten copies, since you could cram a lot more words on each page.
And again, this is not adressing the issue of even having the skill to make paper in the first place.
The pop ups doesn’t show up if your ublock origin is correctly updated.
In Sid Meier’s Civilization sure, but real history is a lot more complex than that. There were people who came to that conclusion since ancient times without it leading to a scientific and industrial revolution, because there were a lot more factors at play with those than just simply the idea of it.
The main challenge with inventing a working printing press would be the papermaking and level of metalworking required for the movable type.
Don’t let any company which chose to get involved in this blatant scam get exonerated just because they dumped it later. They still tried to pull the scam in the first place, and they only dropped it because they didn’t make any money on it, not because it was a scam.
Always remember this.
