Doubt that. Imo this is just to accommodate for CDPR's ongoing expansion. GOG is probably not that lucrative in investors' eyes. This way it can keep operating like it used to, but is no longer tied to CDPR stocks. Buyout timing checks out too considering a bump in stock price is predicted for 2026.

Closing this thread with an evergreen found in the comment section.
Oh, look, it's the "what even is an indie" conundrum with some misinformation sprinkled on top. Reminder that you could have this exact conversation about music or film and still never formulate a universally accepted definition.

And while I sympathize with everyone that feels like their livelihood is at risk with the unprecedented proliferation of AI (I myself am of the opinion that the net impact of the tech on our lives is negative) - leaving out all the nuance from conversation about AI surely won't help anyone.

I'll go further and say this - everyone in the comments praising this as an initiative for more ethical industry is wrong. This is a meaningless pose rooted in ignorance at best. At worst it's an unintended(?) call to arms in this witch-hunting we witnessed earlier with the #Larian #AI controversy.

I also find it quite funny how their post about this (bsky.app/profile/indi...) says "Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility" and when you go read them, there is literally only a single sentence that is so vague it hurts.

Yeah, hard to overtake with these cars in Qatar even with DRS. Dirty air is especially detrimental in those high speed corners and the result is always boring snoozefest while circuits like Hockenheim, Magny Cours or Nurburgring are left on the sidelines... Money > racing, as usual.

My dude even blind person could *see* immediately this was a strategic blunder of gargantuan magnitude. Sure, I agree they should've gone for softs last stint, but if McLaren showed something these 2 years, it's their affinity for the most boring and passive strategy calls. Wouldn't be enough anyway

It's a severely downgraded Castle, but I'll take what I can get when it comes to Fillion goofing around

Millions of valid reasons out there to dunk on Musk and the orange man, but come on, made up sob stories about how many kids USAID would've saved by now ain't the right hill to die on.
Equally there's no shortage of reasons to bash "AI", but please, nuance instead of this "Pot? Not even once" crap.

Kiss him, he's Irish🍀

I will not stand for this uncalled for brick game slander

Honestly, everything I'm hearing about this movie makes me look forward to seeing it even more. The general consensus seems to be: uninspired plot, flat characters, stunning visuals, great soundtrack. And like... Yeah? What else should be expected from it? That's exactly what Tron's supposed to be.

Right, so just an update, thankfully there is much more actual food for thought in this one. Which just further confuses me why not shrink the prologue video to 10-15 minutes and include it as an intro section to this main one instead, but whatever.

The sets are gorgeous and the camera work and editing is top notch, but it suffers from both things that made me dislike the recent films: 1) everyone is incredibly stupid (Prometheus, Covenant); 2) here's a convenient weapon that kills / stuns the alien in seconds (Romulus)

Hate to be a downer, but I sincerely hope there's more meat on this one because the 50(!) minute prologue to this video consisted of the guy just recounting the plot and badly paraphrasing a better written article that touched on this topic.
