To be fair, thy said the one player game campaign doesn’t need it, but multiplayer did.

That’s still the case and that’s why steam is giving refund: people are basically buying the game with part missing.

Euuuuh I don’t know in the US but in Europe “corn flakes” have so much sugar they are everything except healthy

Ah you ça change the data storage easily? Hmmmm thanks for pointing this out.

Thank you, that's also how I understand it.

Still very badly explained I can understand the reaction…

Did quit it at the arrival of the last extension after non-stop play since launch.

Best decision I took in the last 3 years…

Long story short: bacteriophage are extremely difficult to fit in the current legal/regulatory framework of the medical/pharma world/system.

Bacteriophage are not stable compounds such as chemical molecules (antibiotics, etc…). They evolve and change, adapting to bacterial evolution (or just spontaneously because we're talking about organisms, who sometimes just changes). It may be an advantage from a efficacity point of view, buts it's a big no-no from a regulation point of view.

This makes is harder to have real trials (even if things progress slowly).

Then you have all the biological questions about injecting live virus in an patient and the risk of immune response.

Then you have the complexity of both producing phages in a stable manner (remember: these fuckers have a tendcy to "evolve" on their own) as well as shipping them (require refrigeration all the way, contrary to antibiotic pills).

Source: bacteriophage were the subject of my master thesis, even if it was a while ago.

Thanks for the article, interesting read!

“Many companies are realizing they could have been a lot more measured in their approach, rather than making big, bold, very controversial decisions based on executives’ opinions rather than employee data,” Larry Gadea, Envoy’s CEO and founder, tells CNBC Make It.

Yeah, business as usual (added the strike)

Rather the world…

See the “so that’s why we can’t have nice things” law.
