Learning styles are educational astrology. They have no basis in science or paedagogy.

I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I'm not saying things aren't better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.

Oh I'm sure it's not wasted work. But any content delivered now, for free, is in direct competition with buying a whole new game, probably for >=$70. I guess they're very confident in the new game modes or something.

I'm surprised to see this update- I thought MS were making a "new" Flight Simulator for this year. I'm aware that content creation and game creation are usually quite separate but odd that they'd be release stuff to "keep" you on the "old"/current FS iteration.

I mean they fucking advertised it as such when I bought it

Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn't seem important either.

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would "find a way" to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time...

A link to a different community that links to a reddit post that links to a YouTube video not available in my country.

Thanks?
