No Forza game on the Horizon… Heheh

They backed out of supporting the Stop Killing Games initiative led by Ross Scott so I rather doubt it’s to support preservation at this point.

Because there’s a lot of negativity towards Hasbro and everything they are associated with given recent years. It’s a miracle BG3 came out good at all, let alone as good as it is with them involved.

Built-in deniability.

True, NM has been getting stricter on mods and criticism for some time now. Makes me wonder how much worse it could get.

The big question is whether this is for the better or worse.

This feels like the sort of fix that should have been figured out prior to release given just how wide spread it is.

That’s fair. Thinking about it, I’m not sure if I’ve ever bought a game after the Denuvo got removed, I’d just stopped caring about the game by the time that happened so it’ll remain to be seen if I still care about Stellar Blade by the time the Denuvo is removed this time, but it certainly won’t be at full price like I’d planned to pay when the PC port got announced. It’ll likely be with the standard 60-70% reduction that happens once a game has been out 1-2 years, depending how long it takes for this crap to fuck off. At that point, I don’t think it’s rewarding the dev anyway, my purchase certainly isn’t making it onto a spreadsheet of consequence.

And it’ll be staying right there for as long as its carrying that infection.

Sadly, the game will be infected with Denuvo at launch. I was looking forward to it until that stupidity got announced.

RocketWerkz is an indie dev with, from what I can find, 64 employees. I wouldn’t exactly call that corpo material.

What the heck are you smoking? Unity is the corpo here.

Never should have had it

I’m not using MS Store, Microsoft. I have my issues with Steam but it works a hell of a lot better than MS Store does.

That took me longer to get than I’d care to admit but well done.

Guess that’s just knocked SB way down my list. Shame, that’s one of the few games I’ve been looking forward to.

That nothing sounds a lot more appealing. Please, tell me more.

There’s nothing to suggest that’s the case here. Stop white-knighting for scum companies.

True but I’d expect fhe writing to be on the wall at least a week ahead of time. If it was some last minute polishing issue, I’d expect a delay of a week, not indefinite. Either management hasn’t been paying attention, or someone accidentally nuked a bunch of data when pushing a last-minute update to the main file. I can’t think of any other reason for it to have been that close to the wire.

True but I meant in this specific situation. They’ve had the decency to delay it which is an oddity and kinda commendable in the way that most other devs/publishers push broken games, but how asleep at the wheel do you have to be to not realise you need an indefinite delay until the day of release?

True but if you somehow don’t notice your game is broken until the day of release, I can’t help but wonder how you didn’t notice prior.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 had a 30fps cap too. No idea why though since it works fine at 60.

I’m sure it’ll be fine. Sounds like the project is being perfectly well managed.

They made a step forward?

Alright, Satan, calm down.

And the first game that was already stolen?

I’m sure that’ll help the world economy.

Very true.

No surprise there. From what we’ve been hearing from Intel lately, they’ll be looking to nickel and dime every mug loyal customer possible.

Sadly, legacy doesn’t always mean profit. It made enough of a splash with it’s style to get into the zeitgeist but not people’s wallets.

Sounds like a bunch of people possibly just got some malware 🤭

*including Skyrim

True true. I’ve had similar experience with gg.deals as well, I just name HB for their loud rise about a decade ago.

By the way, for whatever reason, your link to ITAD is trying to point to a Lemmy community so it doesn’t work. Not on my end, at least. I’ve just run into the same problem when linking GGD so I think you have to include the https for it to work.

Lately we’ve been seeing nothing but sob stories from Intel then here’s AMD with two lots of good news in a single post. Way to go, AMD!

Can’t sniff at a good Humble Bundle

Well, since they don’t sell games, I guess they shouldn’t expect to see any of my money anytime soon. The blade cuts both ways, Ubishit, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Taking an extreme example instead of one that is the norm makes it extremely obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go back to your walled playpen and leave the rest of us to our freedom.

Considering how much price gouging Intel’s been guilty of, I find it very hard to feel sorry for him.

I wonder how many channels will accidentally get nuked in this ‘review’.

Because we have clear evidence that the morons are spoiling ghe market for everyone else. If they hadn’t fallen for the death by a thousand cuts of “it’s only additional content”, “I want to be able to play it on the day of release”, “it’s only cosmetic”, “I don’t care about having a disc”, “I don’t care if I can play something I bought in 5 years”, “you can’t expect a company to run a server in peRPeTuitY”, “it’s only a ToS, it doesn’t mean anything”, “it’s oPTioNal”, “games cost a lot more to make now than they once did”, “it’s fucked now so I’ll come back after they’ve updated it a bit, I don’t need that money now”. They were all lies, all hooks for the idiots that are too dumb to engage their brains for more than a couple of seconds, were never taught how to use money, were never taught how to vote with their wallets nor impulse control, and here we are, not 20 years since the writing was on the wall for those of us who knew how to engage our brains for longer than it takes to click the ‘“buy” now’ button, several serious hits taken to our basic consumer rights, some hanging in the balance, the gaming market on the cusp of imploding and our money devalued by at least 50% if the corpos only stop at Nintendo’s $90 con and, in truth, even less than that since that’s proven to rarely be the actual price of the full game.

So yes, it’s foolish to encourage this behaviour because the morons voted us into oblivion.
