Satisfactory is so good. One of my all-time favorites. I use a dedicated server when I play it, because I'll play from a few different computers when I do. But resources stop pumping out if nobody is connected to it. Maybe there's an option or a setting to keep things rolling, but that's the default behavior -- nobody connected the game effectively pauses.
Larian studios seems great. I would like more companies to invest in / hire studios similar to Larian. Sure, WotC sucks. But I will vote with my dollars for them to work with Larian. Maybe it means in the future more gaming companies might look like Larian. Everybody has to draw their own line, though.
