I don't think they have done that simulator game yet. Goat simulator, mechanic simulator etc. There's a simulator for everything. MMO = pay monthly fee, or I assume nowadays its battlepass, hats, gambling machines. $44.99 USD for 1000 Solaris (or spice). Limited time only for this hat.

I'll be holding off until fall at least, busy with work and $37 CAD (I rarely spend more than $10 per game) for early access. Also lots of other games to keep me busy. Steam review is currently 84% which is good. I also own NorthGuard and havn't played much of it, but I did enjoy what I played of it. So I should play more of that first as well since it appears to be most similar to Dune game (same developers).

Smugglers! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1605220/view/3137324424297459624 I think they were sorta in the other games? Or books? I forget been a long time. EDIT: Ah, yes they were in books and stuff. https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Esmar_Tuek

Reddit saying https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/rcya9h/dune_spice_wars_announcement_trailer/ that it looks similar to NorthGuard game, same devs. I played it some and liked it.

Wow, I would not have expected it to make more than say Arrival (prepandemic box office). Must be the giant cast and director that got people in seats, because I doubt general public care about "Dune". Also, it made more than bladerunner? nice. Maybe they want 2nd greenlit so they can add it to their online streaming library to get people to pay $ each month like netflix. Pay money to create content they own, pays dividends over decade (not having to pay another studio for the rights to it). They greenlit the 2nd movie. I have no idea how, but they did it. EDIT: reddit thread on box office dune. EDIT: how do I turn off these inlined or smart links and just post a link only?

I've been reading on reddit what I assume to be people that havnt watched previous installments or read the books are a bit lost or wondering why it ended on a non cliff hanger or climax or something.

Glad to see you've figured it out.

I havnt been to theatres in about 12 years. I think I will for this.

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/opdbw2/dune_official_trailer_2/ WOW This gonna be crazy. Disappointed no weirding modules.

I think it is really great. Not since Babylon 5 + Battlestar Galactica (2003) has there been such a great scifi. Babylon 5 politics + Battlestar Galactica action. Has books to follow the story so it is already all structured well. I assume you're caught up to the end of season 5? I havn't read books. Gob mentioned it in the picard series thread I think.

Reddit was hoping/speculating more C&C remaster (or whatever they did with red alert). Did they make red alert 2+3 or different company?

First link worked for me. Maybe it will work for you now that I've approved your post?
