    If it were so simple to revoke these keys as OP is implying, why would the game publishers be telling people to literally steal their games instead of buying on one of these key resellers?

    What G2A is selling is usually Steam keys. They’re not always stolen through credit card fraud but also through pretending to be game media for review copies.

    I guess this explains some of the waiting times in Ausländerbehörden and is hopefully a kick in the pants to make the whole system more efficient. I'm very glad I had help getting through it.

    The fediverse is deliberately designed not to do that as federation is not cheap in terms of computing resources. I believe it’s exponentially complex as the number of federated instances grows, at least that’s my understanding with Mastodon.

    Yes, federation isn’t a passive thing that the instance does. Think of it as us living on an island and striking forth as explorers to make new trade routes with other lands. We can only know about those other lands if one of our explorers has sought them out.

    If you're looking to "glue" a bunch of APIs together, a service like IFTTT may be something you want to look into.

    I think the story got much better towards the end of the game. The last mission is as thrilling as any of the prior titles. The trouble is that it ends as it’s getting good, and major plot hooks are left forever hanging due to the cancelled DLC.

    The setting wasn’t great - there seemed little point for setting it in another galaxy other than being able to ignore a lot of the prior games. This was not Stargate Atlantis. Stargate SG-1 only really had humans and Goa’uld since day one so Atlantis having only the two races in another galaxy fit into the established setting. Mass Effect had a lot of sentient races in the Milky Way, and Andromeda only having two made it feel lacking (especially with some plot revelations).

    Gameplay was the highlight as others have touched on. They really managed to refine the combat to the best it has been.

    It doesn’t commit to anything either, its writing is absolutely full of weasel words and a detached perspective.

    I haven't been involved in the project for a decade or so but I was one of the founders of OpenRA, so thanks for recommending it! I'm very happy it's still actively developed nearly two decades later.
