But that’s not all we have up our sleeves, of course!

You can watch it below!
How are games always getting got by music licensing issues? Seems like something you should know to futureproof.
I'd assume it's likely a cause of some higher up demanding certain music pieces being used and them only being able to license it for a limited time period. Avellone probably knows more if anyone wants to ask him(@Roguey?) https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone

I noticed Chris wasn't interviewed in that GOG video
Is he really still on the libtard shitlist (GOG and CDPR being well known shitlib companies)

When you get accused of anything women don't like you are Damnatio memoriae for eternity no matter what.
I bet once people actually play Alpha Protocol they will think it's overrated. It's seemed like one of those games that became mythologized because it wasn't available for a long time.

Pretty sure for the longest of time it was the butt end of many jokes, on many different boards. Some people liked it despite the jank and bugs. I apreciate the scope of what they intended to produce but it's a 4/10 for effort at best.

It's a game zoomers pretend to like because they saw a 999 hour "retrospective" (aka plot summary with bad jokes) calling it an underrated gem.
Nah, it's a good game. Sure, it's as janky as all shit, as is the case with all the Obsidian games, but I played it the year it released on my ancient even by those times PC and enjoyed it immensely, even with the myriad of bugs and the average FPS of 15. The reactivity of the world and the replayability is off the charts.

I don't have direct knowledge of this specific case, but a lifetime license for a piece of music can be really pricey. They cheaped out by opting in for a 10 year license (console generations are only about 7 years so that makes sense if you don't care too much about something forever-existing on PC), and when it came time for renewal Sega said "Nah." Looks like GOG was willing to pony up.
Even Rockstar with all its wealth has had to patch out songs from previous GTA games because the licenses expired and they couldn't be bothered to renew them. It was notoriously bad for tv shows with dvd/streaming releases because the license to include a song for an over-the-air-broadcast episode is different from one for home media/streaming. Shows like Daria decided to just cut out all the licensed songs, sometimes they replace it with a soundalike (happened with the intro themes to Married with Children and Donald Trump's The Apprentice amusingly enough). Murphy Brown no longer exists because they used a ton of motown throughout the series (live by the libcringe, die by the libcringe).

I remember playing it and trying to larp as Big Boss which didn't seem to go so well. I remember there being some extremely light controversy due to a female on male rape scene that can happen too.

It's not rape, it's your choice whether it happens or not.
except for one mission, I always wore only the normal person clothes instead of the high speed low drag operator shit and nobody ever acknowledged it
that one mission they specifically said was going to be an infiltration stealth mission so i put on a stealth suit. Mission starts, cut to my retard standing on a train station platform wearing an armored scuba suit or whatever with a shotgun on his back. Chink general dude walks up to him and says "why the fuck are you dressed like that, are you a moron"
that pissed me off so much
also i got a bad ending, everyone was dead and no gf
