Clockwork Revolution
What the hell is inXile smoking? "Clockwork Revolution" is a ridiculous name. You're revolutionizing the... making of clocks? Are your clocks, which by definition are meant to simply tell time, somehow now doing things other than telling time? Are they telling time in some new, revolutionary way? "It is exactly three-thirty in the afternoon" gets, what, telepathically transmitted into your brain? Would that even be a revolution anyway? You're still just telling me the time!

If you can't even come up with a clever or inspiring name for your RPG -- Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura was brilliant -- then you probably shouldn't be making RPGs in the first place.
InXile should simply have named the game Clockpunk. :M

On another note, think Baldur Gate 3 sales, or even Pathfinders and rethink your statement. Leave (pseudo)-isometric alone, add bestiality (or better something new: necrophilia) instead of 3D if you want great sales.
So, this is what gaming has become….. FUCKFEST RPG?

It's threads like these that make me realize people don't understand the passage of time and eras.

Troika isn't coming back. The things you loved aren't coming back. You're never going to have the same experiences you one did again. You're getting older. There won't be a Thief 5 nor will JC Denton get a new game. Lord British isn't making another Ultima. Bloodlines 2 won't be good

She's not going to call you some day and want you back.

Learn to adapt and enjoy new things. Stop resisting it. You've sucked dry this hobby and there's nothing left. Go learn how to fix cars and snowboard and lift weights and make money before you waste more of what little time you have left waiting for miracles.
So…… I’ll never get to massacre rats again? :cry::cry::negative:

Expecting writers to invent names that make a lick of sense is too much to ask. I’d like names that relate to the plot and sound clever, but I have no option but to settle for less.

What are you going on about? It's the easiest task imaginable.

You would think so. I was trying to crack a joke.
