WB clearly cut corners and deserves critique, but it's important to know that no digital storage is eternal - it will all go bad at some point. The only practical solution atm is to routinely transfer the data to fresh storage.
Well there's no such thing as "warning shots". Even in the fictional universe where every shooter has 100% accuracy, there's little accounting for how a person will react in a panic. Any person firing a gun in the direction of another accepts (or fully intends) that that person will be injured or killed.
You've gotten it backwards. "Big businesses" aren't making horror movies of childhood entertainment. Those are only happening cause they became public domain.
I did find my way to the nexus' collections (though thank you for the tip), which would've gone smoothly if I hadn't fumbled a fresh install beforehand with an issue I already addressed in the first install.

There is a continuing story, but the first two are very different games, even from each other. They're certainly fun, but won't really be indicative of anything other than if you like the story or not, which you could mostly gather from wikis or video summaries. All that to say - it likely won't change your experience of 3 if you don't play the previous two directly.
Seriously. The core, universal characteristic of a narcissist is they fundamentally do not ever think they are wrong or dumb.
Those waiting for him to suddenly gain some humility are seriously misunderstanding their situation.
