Bought it, gonna give it a shot tonight. I remember hearing about this while on a bus to class maybe 7 years ago, and even though I wasn't a Spelunky guy, I wanted this thing immediately. Derek Yu seems to have a pretty good handle on how to make a compelling game, so I'm looking forward to seeing this collaborative project.
I believe Erdogan (and Turkey in general) were big players in getting the wheat trade deal settled, as well as the prisoner exchange, though I could be misremembering. It's just a weird situation of Erdogan having a history of centralizing power, but also making moves to be more relevant on the global stage.
Is it covert if you know it's happening and have agreed to it?
Why is this a news article? Why is this posted to this community? It's a well written article, but it carries no new news, and is just an article by the author of a book that's about to go on sale.
This game gave me my first real experience of melancholy. A sort of bittersweet sadness, born of what was and what could have been.
I'm digging the Lowlands a ton, but I actually didn't spend too much time in Grothmar. I've done the cycle of meta events there maybe 2-3 times total. They're fun and interesting, but when they're not active, I feel 0 compulsion to do anything on that map.
To the Moon is an awesome little narrative. One of the games that reminded me that there's room to feel feelings in games. And the main theme song (I think performed by Laura Shigihara?) is one of my favorite pieces of music to come from a game.
I probably won't end up playing this, as I'm bad at this kind of game, but man does it have styleeeeee.
It still exists, but a lot of communities shut down after official matchmaking was implemented.
Back in the golden days of community servers, it sure as heck didn't.

If you care about story, I'd recommend going 0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7 (Like a Dragon), Man Who Erased His Name, and then Infinite Wealth (8).
If you specifically want turn-based combat, you can start on 7 and honestly be pretty OK.
If you just want to have an enjoyable time, you can jump in on any side entry, like Judgment/Lost Judgment, Isshin, or this new Pirate one.
Overall, the mainline Yakuza games have an earnest and serious plot, with moments that take it over the top. But all of it is interspersed with moments of random goofiness and levity. My cousins have spent months on Yakuza 0 because they got really into learning Japanese Mah Jong and enjoyed the slot car racing.
