        I dont understand this, the best they can do is work it as an expense. It doesnt make sense to spend on something to call it a write off. It makes sense to make something a write off if its return looks like it will be less than anticipated or that there is further investment than planned required.

      Rumor has it the Kingdom Come: Deliverance devs are doing a Lord of the Rings project, so if that’s the case, then they’re outsourcing a lot of risk.

        Playing KCD as Aragorn or Gimli will be fucking epic.

        I wonder if itll be a single player’s POV or multiple characters.
