Yep. I’m also really thankful for every demo I can play before buying. It’s the same with the steam next fest, which is completely dedicated to demos games :D Some games I won’t have bought, if I weren’t able to play the demo beforehands :-)

I recently discovered Stardeus which is like a Rimworld in Space game, where you are an A.I. on a destroyed spaceship with a few bots and you try to repair the ship and try to keep the humans alive. If you want to. You can also just kill them and create a bot empire. It’s more layed back than Rimworld in my opinion, which is a good thing for me. Oh and there is a demo that you can try before buying it!

There is also the website Reddit Migration

You can play it for a bit, leave, then come back without worrying you missed out on content/skills/etc.

I think this is one of the most important parts! DRG has a Season Pass. BUT you don’t have to pay for anything. There is now money to be spend. You just have to play to unlock tings. AND if you don’t get all of the things that are available, they just put it into the game to find. You won’t miss anything from a season, even if you haven’t played it, because everything will be available in the game afterwards. The only difference is, that it is thrown into the pool with other stuff to find. So it’s random.

Bit I think in a time where nearly every Multiplayer Game has a season pass to try to rob you of your money (Diablo 4 even has two passes), this is a really beatiful way to do it.

Like most of the other people around here, I will definitely stay at Lemmy. But I will also use Reddit as long as it has viable subreddits for me, that I cannot compensate with a Lemmy alternative.

But I hope, that Lemmy will have the same impact than Mastodon had and that many cool communities will rise from this!
