<p>Objectively yes, I'm not even sure that's a question.<p>I have some serious antinatalist leanings, but if one is going to live (assuming decent quality of life and what not) more life is always going to be objectively better.</p>

<p>>It was a mistake.<p>What do you mean, the game is objectively solid and is very much a continuation of the Boulders Gate series. It has flaws, but personally I think it's the best crpg i've played in years (and without nostalgia filters).</p>

<p>>Apollo team should have had the foresight to see this coming years ago.<p><pre><code>    Isn't this your fault for building a service reliant on someone else?

    To a certain extent, yes. However, I was assured this year by Reddit not even that long ago that no changes were planned to be made to the API Apollo uses, and I've made decisions about how to monetize my business based on what Reddit has said.

    January 26, 2023

    Reddit: "So I would expect no change, certainly not in the short to medium term. And we're talking like order of years."

    Another portion of the call:

    January 26, 2023

    Reddit: "There's not gonna be any change on it. There's no plans to, there's no plans to touch it right now in 2023.

    Me: "Fair enough."

    Reddit: "And if we do touch it, we're going to be improving it in some way."</code></pre></p>
