So a hidden counter to give a penalty to players who dare explore.
Great asshole move to limit the success of the game.
Something in Honour Mode to make the game harder, yes. That's another way of saying "give a penalty to players..." Heaven forbid a game provide a challenge. My goodness.
As for limiting the success of the game, I hear your words, but it just sounds like negativity and huffing and puffing without substance. What about providing more of a challenge is limiting the game's success or even close to being considered an "a-hole move?"
Seriously, your comment comes across as nothing more than bad tempered and curmudgeonly. It's impossible to have a discussion this way. This is more spit and judgement than discussion and consideration.
