Pre-order Star Wars Jedi Survivor from Amazon
If you are a fan of the Star Wars license, you surely know that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was officially released a few days ago. At JV he received a very good mark of 17/20, which particularly emphasizes his solid technique, his excellent staging, his flair for the grandiose, his consistent writing and his “high in colour” characters.

When you make a game for a console, you make it for a single set of drivers/hardware. When we make a PC game, we make it for more than 900 possible combinations.
I promise you it’s not laziness. It’s just very, very difficult.
Something can look really finished until you share it with millions of people. Developers try hard, but dealing with non-standard platforms is not easy. Especially since modern video games are complex and graphically intense.

There are many weary men and women who will spend their weekends and evenings writing a patch for you. Just wanted to say that this stuff is difficult and problems are often unforeseen. The developers are trying hard and will do even more in the future ❤️
