I recently (2020) played BG1 and 2 with their expansions and on the one hand you’re right… But on the other getting the same story with 10x the graphics and some modern QoL would be great. Reaching BG3’s massive audience - that isn’t all 90s nostalgia gamers - with a story that’s new-to-them would really help cement it in the same way BG2 did for BG1.
I don’t hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but… Could be worse.
Holy shit, please let this happen.
They don’t, but they define the socket the processor slots into and probably did this to market the newer chips as more advanced than they are (by bundling a minor chip upgrade with an additional chipset upgrade that may have more uplift).
I see no other reason to kneecap upgrades like this when upgrading entails the consumer buying more of your product.
I think it’s a stretch to interpret it as petty when it probably just gave Trip a bit of focus and let his 8 year old nephew shout like “that’s my uncle!” or something. Real life astronauts get asked these questions all the time and they’re practically deified in our culture.
