    "Played on its own, the Reassemble campaign is a fun superhero beat-em up
    that tells a great story"
    I think this is enough for me to get it at $4: https://store.steampowered.com/app/997070/Marvels_Avengers__The_Definitive_Edition/

    I saw this last night and spent more time than I care to admit
    considering the purchase.

    On the one hand, it's not really a game I am that interested in, and
    it's shutting down at the end of this year*, and it doesn't have very
    good reviews, and it is apparently heavily monetized with MTX, and I
    have /so/ many other, better games waiting for me to play it...

    But on the other hand, $3.99 USD...

    I was able to resist the purchase, but now rms says I should buy it.
    Will his recommendation be the feather's weight that tilts the
    balance?

    /s/feather's weight that tilts the balance/excuse I need to justify
    buying it/

    :P

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    You forgot the global flag.

    Not after reading this review!

    "It is not an enjoyable game.
    Starting with the menu. Finding the next mission is as fun as doing
    taxes.
    And the missions are not good, they are boring and very repetitive.
    I bought it for 5�, but worthy of that. "

    Thanks,

    Roughly the same here (Sun workstations) and boy was it a pain going to
    Win. based platforms as a developer. All the little scripts you could
    write using the many but basic CLI tools at your disposal was just so
    useful.
