   @goatsarah @breadbin @Gamrok Good points! Or they could wait until it ends up in the £1 special rack!

     @DavidBFox @Gamrok This is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen. It was usually very aggressive and heavily punishment focused.

     Kinda makes me wish that there was a way to get this message in your newest games as well. For that nostalgic feel. I haven’t played Thimbleweed park in forever, I should do so. But I’ll probably go for a different platform (the iPad purchase was a mistake) this time.

     (I’m not kidding, bring back the code books for retro games:))

     Maybe we were a little heavy handed here? But it was only a few years since we experienced massive piracy of our first two games, Rescue on Fractalus! and Ballblazer, and some of that pent up anger/hurt/betrayal comes through in this cutscene. #LucasfilmGames #LucasArts #ZakMcKracken #Piracy

     @goatsarah @breadbin @Gamrok or wait until it’s on Netflix. Oh, wait, wrong era/medium.

     @DavidBFox @goatsarah @Gamrok I think “wait for gamepass/etc” is the game version, and it kinda saddens me. I think SaaS can have a negative effect on fun as addictive becomes more important. Imho at least.

     The best games are the ones you remember a long time later.
