I got a new gaming laptop and I feel like a kid in a candy store. Has over 1 TB and I downloaded a few games from Steam like Skyrim, Starfield, Oblivion, and a police simulator. Any recommendations whether it is old or newer? I like games like the Sims and Civilization so anything like that would work. Or Dynasty warriors. Are any Baldur’s Gates worth it? I played those old Sierra games as a kid. I may download Leisure Suit Larry since that was one I always wanted to play but knew my parents would’ve thrown a fit. Thanks in advance

Thanks! I need to look into more based developers.
Factorio devs are incredibly based. Doubled down after being accused of supporting a “racist”, “sexist”, and “transphobic” programming guru and kept the post that generated the controversy pinned to their Twitter for over a month. The game itself isn’t for everyone though.
I was looking at factorio after getting bored of rimworld.
Factorio is a dangerous drug. Extremely good game design, proceed with caution.
I wouldn't say incredibly based. They had a big "We support Ukraine" moment https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/we-support-ukraine , and have shown to be quite anti-consumers at times, like how they permanently increase the price of the game "because of inflation", even though the game was out for years already.
Market economics dictate how much a company charges for a product. If the developer of a game feels that it has the same value now as it did a year ago, the prospective consumer can agree and purchase the game, or disagree and not purchase it.
Steam's discount sale culture has created an expectation of discounts, and most companies find that in their interest because they'd rather move another 10,000 units during a sale instead of 1,000. The fixed costs of those titles are set and no game is going to go from a failure to a success because of a 50% discount.
I still need to finish grim dawn
