former Rockstar QA tester, Build A Rocket Boy scripter (in various capacities), and Splash Damage senior technical designer

Really stretching the definition of “former Rockstar dev” here.

Edit: It looks unbelievably bland. There’s absolutely nothing even remotely new or compelling here. No AI usage and no early access are nice, but that’s not enough on its own. I’ll happily eat my hat in case I’m wrong though.

That’s…just the premise of satisfactory.

Oh cool, factorio again.

RPS’s writing is still delightful, even with the stresses they’ve been through.

I hope they survive the AI bubble. I feel like there’s an “end” where reputable professional opinions will become highly valued again.
