    I’m not paying for a game that doesn’t allow changing difficulty if I want/need. I work two jobs and have to do most home cleaning and maintenance. I used to game competitively back in the early 2000s, but I don’t have time for that shit nor gatekeeping.

            It also adds a lot of quality of life stuff you would have to mod the original to get access to, though as I understand it, the Lazy Newb Pack mods include most of those QoL changes. Though, them being integrated into the game itself will almost always be smoother than requiring the installation of a mod.

              let’s be real here, the steam version is mostly a tax on people who find technology scary and can’t install a few things on their own

                … or mostly a cool way to support two guys who have poured their LIFE into what has become one of the most notorious computer games of all time. Exhibited by museums, beloved by million, and distributed for free. Best 30 bucks I’ve spend in a while. If anyone deserves that money, it’s the Adams brothers.

                But sure think of it as a mean spirited idiot-tax if you want
