I know a couple of my friends were pumped for it, bought Black Myth Wukong played it for a few days and never touched it again.

They really smashed the marketing for that game.

I've been using Nobara and its been awesome. I wanted a fairly standard desktop with a gaming focus and it fit the bill. It even managed to automatically get the power saving sorted for my laptop which has a nvidia GPU. Great distro.

Even the dudes responses in those comments seem written by an AI.

Haven't really been following it all - after reading the article I think maybe its because Astro Bot had a larger audience because its generally more accessible?

They showed a once per year notification which reminds people they can donate.

I think the donation notification works

From the trailers it seems to be more like a Monster Hunter game than Elden Ring/Souls game.

Morrowind

The cynic in me says its because MSI is a sponsor or something

Its also more Tencent garbage (if that's something you care to know)

Subsidise home battery systems so that the excess is stored locally instead of going back into the grid.

I thought it was good to see to be honest. None of this just conjures itself out of thin air, and it'd be worse if they had no other way to get money except sell out to some corporate entity.

Some people don't even think about donating, not that they don't want to but it hasn't even occurred to them.

A gentle reminder on occasion is completely acceptable and uses no dark patterns to get you to donate.
