Isn’t this built into the Android OS already? I assume iOS has a similar feature

If the court would now draw its attention to exhibit B

(how long is this)

Sure but that’s like calling Vice City GTA4. It’s not named that by the people that make it

IIRC valve outright said it wasn’t HL3

TBF it’s not something I really read, just that I’ve heard of it. Though that’s a pretty clear signal of what the future holds for Polygon then

No, not at all, generally not a good sign whatsoever (unless you’re wall st apparently). I guess there’s the chance it was particularly inefficiently staffed, but then Vox seem like they should have known what they were doing, so that doesn’t seem likely.

The new owner seems to have a few gaming brands already, Game Rant being the only one I’ve heard of though. Perhaps they’re planning a consolidation and this is the redundancy from that?

Not necessarily saying there’s a silver lining, just trying to rationalise

Hmm, had to look up who these guys were

Apparently they own XDA and Android Police too, which haven’t gone entirely to shit

I’ll tentatively put the pitchfork away

Oh that’s actually pretty sad to hear—I did not realise they had new owners

for some reason

I’m gonna guess they’re going to release an overpriced bundle of the games

I cannot wrap my head around why the game industry hasn’t already unionised massively—I hear horror story after horror story and everyone working in the industry seems to have convinced themselves they’re special and it won’t happen to them

It’s EA, this is what they do

20% can’t enjoy the game if they’re not able to buy micro-transactions

Wtaf

I’d say most RTS games I can think of can be played with just a mouse

Older diablo-like ARPGs didn’t really rely on the keyboard too much IIRC, the modern ones do tend to rely on the keyboard a bit more

If you don’t mind older games, basically the whole genre of point and click adventures is this by definition

support for playing select Android games on your car’s display

Errrrrrrm

You don’t lay off engineers to become more agile, all it does is make the company more fragile

Well I’m very excited to see the injection of life this hopefully gives c&c modding

I wonder how many of the old guard are still around, I’m glad the cncnet project is still going strong

It’s one of the first lines of text in the original Zelda game

Imagine how much money they would print if you released the new ones on PC too

The timed exclusivity deals are what did it for me

Bringing that bullshit to the PC gaming market guaranteed I’ll never spend a penny on their storefront.

If the carrot they’re leading with is limiting choice, I’m not going to hang around waiting to find out what the stick might be if they get successful

Well that’s pretty shitty, I assumed it could only be a CUDA blob at this point anyway rather than any specific hardware, so why drop support?

Edit: ah so it’s 32-bit CUDA in general they’re killing off, which makes a bit more sense as that probably does result in hardware differences.

Hopefully they open source it at least

Surely the multiple accounts with single calendars use case is more common than optimising for the many calendars in a single account case?

Probably a bit of personal bias in this, but I figure one of the most common multiple calendar situations, where you’d regularly be creating events on both, is a personal and work account each with their own calendar?

Fun fact it’s always had undo if you switch to the Japanese keyboard

I have absolutely no idea why that’s the only way you’ve been able to do it until now

EA aren’t interested in anything that they can’t use to manipulate kids into gambling

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of

Where have I seen this before, and does it involve Mario Kart?

And the cynic in me sees this as all by design

Say they’re gonna bring the big companies to task, actually destroy alternatives and entrench the corporate players further

Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks

Well shit, I’m gonna need another lockdown or something to play everything that’s been announced today

That being said, since it’s actually good I now expect it to be nerfed and/or abandoned in about 6 months

Exactly this, Google is where it is because generally its products start out pretty good

Future publishing is unfortunately circling the drain right now, they recently canned a load of other brands that had been running for decades

This would make sense if Steam didn’t exist and is arguably the most consumer friendly of the storefronts

And if people weren’t increasingly choosing to not shop in brick & mortar stores anyway. The big high street game retailer in my country has mostly transitioned to being a nerd-culture merch shop rather than somewhere that actually stocks any games other than the Sims, CoD or EAFC.

I disagree, I cannot see why people dislike those parts—the tension is fantastic in both

It’ll be in a compilation pack, I’d bet

The big win for GeForce NOW was you could fire up games from your steam library—you didn’t need to directly invest in a service which might die for your ownership of a game

This breaks many games

Genuinely when there was actually some competition in this space, GeForce NOW was actually the consumer friendly one

Guess we have another case study in why competition results in worse outcomes for the customer in its eventual conclusion

Okay cool, but what about the games you’ve already had out for like a year?

Like, idk, ff7r2 on PC?

Well I’m glad someone has done this so everyone else can see for sure that this is a dead idea

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

Only feels like they became 343 a couple of years ago
