One shiny red apple on a pile of rotting fruit does not make an apple pie.

Games as a service was always enshittification wearing a trench coat. TF2 and MMOs back in the day were merely bait.

Games as a service has always been a scam. They use literally addictive gambling traps to keep people hooked to a money drip feeder with season passes and loot boxes.

All that only to rip the plug out when the servers are on life support.

Avoid them just like preordering. They are no benefit to the players.

Bwahahahahaha now lay in the bed you made. Cant wait for the Ai bubble to pop and hopefully Google will get flung into the sun along with the Ai tech-bros pushing this slop.

Absolutely!

Games as a service is a scam.

Fuck that corporate noise. You guys are asshats and fucked this shit up yourselves. Now swallow your bad publicity and get prepared to loose your jobs after this with corporate restructuring.

Agentic Ai is a huge privacy threat! Fuck giving Ai root access to your devices!

I don’t. You are exposing children to those exact mechanics and normalizing that behaviour. Without further thought in the future they will go for increasingly scammy shit tactics.

Yes cause they are designed to be addictive and maximize the profitability with addictive content like loot boxes and fomo tactics to push micro transactions.

Games as a service is a scam and goes hand in hand with gambling and addictive mechanics used to keep people hooked. It’s absolutely toxic.

Nintendo is a corporate shithole but at least they make some sort of semblance of non abusive games.

“Portable gaming” is always welcome but the business model of phone games is fucking disgusting.

You own more of the software that runs the steam deck than any Nintendo console. You also have the option to buy games from other digital platforms.

Buy games on GOG and run them on the steam deck.

Just buy a steam deck and actually own your hardware and software.

Corporate turns on the milking machines

Thank you so much for sharing!

Send the links to everyone you know people!!!

So fucking sad to hear. Damn humanity and its fucking apathy.

It’s only controversial if you are a bigot.

Do it! Played it last year on my ps5 with my SO and they really liked the story and the fixed camera as a viewer.

Check out Tormented Souls for more classic resident evil fix

It’s made by a small team and takes place in Canada. It’s got a nice Suzanne Easter egg too! (Blender mascot)

It’s gonna be shit. Just get a steam deck

It’s always for the worse

Emulators play it better than on original hardware 🤷

From a gameplay perspective GTA has been mid for ages.

Konami is desperate

You ain’t getting a cent from me after cancelling PT

Konami we can smell the desperation after you cancelled PT

Go fuck yourself and you ain’t getting a cent.

Where are Ai apologists says it’s “just a tool” bro. Fucking imbeciles.

Exactly! Want to be transparent? List everything that every specific game collects.

The demo is pretty solid and I’m going to give it a shot once it starts going on sale and hopefully gets past the launch glitches and received a few patches.

No game is worth it on day one anyways, so many greedy publishers putting out unfinished slop and making the devs fix it post release.

Another shit private company trying to take over the world. Fuck off

Hence why idiots pre order digital games that can’t run out of stock. Fucking morons that keep live service scams running.

They will fire 40% of the current staff and replace them with Ai and more business middlemen.

60% of their games will be live service and they will start their own PC app that needs to be signed in like Uplay.

Always gotta recommend Keepetclassy! Gabe and Amber are two Australian friends who have been making gaming videos for a while now. Amber is trans and often speaks about her experiences now which is always interesting.

Can also highly recommend Skurry. They make some really cozy videos on metrodvanias and the like.

Please no. SDV is amazing and the updates have been wonderful but I’d much rather he would move on and continue working on original projects like his Haunted Chocolatier.

You have to emulate Nintendo.

Buying new games is decreasing in value sharply. They are releasing broken games, overpriced and with invasive DRM.

Play games 2+ years delayed. They are completely fixed and in a playable state, reasonably priced with frequent sales and some games get their shit DRM removed for better performance.

And no. Games as a service and fomo are NOT enough to buy games on day one.

Elden Ring: the search for more money

Taking bets! Now that it’s on unreal engine, is it gonna support mods?

I’m calling that it won’t have mods and this is them shutting down future Skyblivion and Fallout UK projects without pissing off the fans.

Slowly boil the fanbase frogs and they won’t notice that the creation club is the only option left. Be sure to buy their micropayment currency! 🤮

This remaster is only going to be worth is if it’s actually using Unreal Engine 5. Otherwise you might as well just wait for Skyblivion or just mod the original yourself and get more stable performance thanks to the community patches.

How long until they put porn on it or get doom running? 😂

Fantastic! Now do loot boxes and battle passes.

🤮

People in abusive relationships often don’t know how to leave.
