I guess the right people were paid/threatened

either that or this was the playbook from the beginning for more political theater. Probably got some nice votes and exposure to the people "fighting" it.

Concentrate on only one aspect of the game that you think you'll enjoy and the rest becomes side-play you can enjoy leisurely. For instance I was on a huge korok seed hunt with BOTW because I love collecting things like that. As I cleared an area I would move further out and slowly got into the open world like that.

For another style of game I concentrated on just mining with Eve online because it's so information dense you will overwhelm yourself trying to learn the basics of everything. Few days of mining and I was excited about trying out some combat missions etc.

Just don't look at the overall picture, focus on a mini aspect of the game and expand from there.

I'm hopeful that these are just growing pains as compatibility and optimization is worked on. I'm not sure on the developing side what's going on and what their plans are, but I think this latest episode with Reddit shenanigans shows that it's necessary to continue working on future platforms over continuing to promote the "product" that Reddit has become now.

My problem with the "free API" is there are no control mechanisms for it. What's to stop Reddit from discontinuing the free contract if they decide to develop their own specific use App? A creator or developer of any said App will be beholden to bend or subjugate themselves to the whims of Reddit admins, any controversial comments or events like that of Apollo could nullify the free API if they don't approve of your actions.

It's a slippery slope and we've already been shown that Reddit can and will change/vilify anyone who doesn't fall in line especially when IPO time comes.
