    As a fan of the original, I still haven’t played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.

    That being said, I also haven’t played any of the farming sim games, though that’s because they look incredibly boring–no offense to those who enjoy them, they’re just not for me.

      Definitely. Can’t remember if it’s in the base game (update: no, it’s a mod) but it works like cotton and tobacco.

      It’s not farm sim, but Project Zomboid has some decent farming mechanics (and a shitload of mods). A lot of the very popular mods just add drugs into the game. A couple of those highest rated ones add a ton of weed stuff to the game (papers; grinders; bongs; pipes; farmable seeds and hemp with different strains, stages of growth, and even disease the plants can catch). Modders are wild.

    It’s not a games job to protect the children, but the parents job. It’s pretty weird we’ve got to this point here.

        The context here is hilarious. Makes it seem like farming simulator is some kind of super subversive, fucked up thing we shouldn’t allow children to play. lol

        “What if they actually become farmers? That’s not what we want for our children is it?”

    Funny comparison. One is a yearly multiplayer-ish release and the other is a sequel to a 13 year old singleplayer action game. I have no doubt AW2 could sell a ton more copies… but they’ve decided they don’t want that
