(Im not American) While I agree 2 weeks is not nearly enough, isn't this also a bit "perfect is the enemy of good"? Anything is better than nothing, and 2 weeks is at least a start. Pushing to 4 weeks can be done after the 2 weeks has been achieved.

    I just had a look at both websites, since I didn't know either of them. I don't understand your website, isaiuseful. The isaiprofitable website uses hard numbers from financial reports to paint a picture. Facts. Isaiuseful... Has no factual data? No references to scientific research done to the usefulness of AI? How exactly is this website supposed to tell me if AI has been useful in the world so far?

    I feel like the Dragon Age series has a nice take on it. Oh, you've been born with magic? Great, time to take you away from your home and family and put you in a tower with other mages where you'll be under constant guard by mage hunters for the rest of your life. See you never <3

    If I check the reviews its mainly a bad first day experience. Third party launcher, and services being down because so many people are trying to play it. I haven't played it myself, but I suspect that when people calm down a bit we get the actual reviews mentioning the game, rather than the day 1 experience. So I'd say: give it a few days and then let's check the reviews again.

    But that's the point they're making, isn't it? With GOG games you can download the installer. With that you also get unlimited access to it.

    Given you don't lose it, but that same argument goes for physical disks.
