The problem is that there really is very few options for ethical consumption and whatever companies that pop up in that space are either scams or ran in a terrible way, in my experience. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

omgMajk LinkI read somewhere that they didn't want the expanse to have a hard sci-fi vibe and thus some things are just voodoo black magic by design.I read somewhere that they didn't want the expanse to have a hard sci-fi vibe and thus some things are just voodoo black magic by design.

All of these games are really good in my opinion, especially the nostalgia I get from playing Boltgun and Q2. Railing someone in the face has always been the best distraction for me. I would recommend playing all of them to be honest, even if I don't like to support Activision Blizzard with money, someone gifted me D4 so I felt like I really had not choice in playing it. I do like it quite a lot though.
