This Week in Gaming (Week 40)

Welcome to week 40 where we move from September to October and this week's major release is a life sim set in a cyberpunk city. All the other bigger releases this week are kind of clumped together, with the week kicking off with transporting goods, followed by a blocky spin-off sequel. Next up we have another life sim, but this time set in a cozy fantasy world. We end the week with some action, first up we have a disco-punk, space horror action game, followed by the 8th installment in a well known air combat franchise. We also have a couple of remasters this week, so make sure you check out those as well.

FoulOnWhiteTried the steam demo, it is not bad, i think i will buy it

I saw it in Splat's video and it looks like something I'd enjoy very much but I refuse to accept abusive EULAs and Kwalee's is the you-can-play-if-you-give-away-all-your-rights type.

From 3 (a) this is what you get:
Kwalee grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable license to access or use the Game solely on the device (which for the purposes of this agreement may be a PC, game console or tablet, as the case may be) for which it was supplied by Kwalee for your personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to the terms of this Agreement (the “End User License”).
From 5 this is what you give:
You hereby grant to Kwalee a transferrable, sublicensable, royalty free perpetual worldwide right and license to use, host, copy, reproduce, distribute, display, perform including perform in public, communicate to the public including making available to the public, transmit, broadcast, publish, adapt, modify and create new or derivative works [...]
No game is good enough for me to accept that type of exchange. My logic is as follows: if I have to pay for your content you have to pay for mine. Screw Kwalee. With that EULA they will not be seeing a cent from me.

I find it humorous that Sengoku Rance is even on the list, given its origins and infamy. Granted, it's a challenging tactics style game with VN style format from yesteryear, but it was also challenging because certain NSFW actions required meeting certain objectives. Though judging by the Steam Page, it may or may not come with the R18+ content as a separate download.
