Your article doesn’t seem to mention it but I did find one that did. They aren’t “splitting” it. They said they would give some money to the employees not eligible for the bonus. It might be like a 50 dollar gift card for all we know.
The 25 million is still going towards the employees as well, the official one in the contract (this part isn’t up to the founders, they don’t have control on the 25 mil).
I’m not sure what difference that makes towards what I’m saying? We dont know if the game is half baked or not. The courts can decide, but at least, we get a game with more content.
we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map.
You can do this because the game let’s you host a server (your rules or official ones) and includes a server browser so random people can find it and join your game.
We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission
You can’t do this because although there is a server browser, you can’t run private servers disconnected from eas infrastructure.
I am correcting OP because most of what he said in his post and what people are repeating in the comments implies that there is only matchmaking and implies that the first part isn’t possible.
What isn’t real about the browser we are getting?
Source saying the founders were gonna take the 225 million they were getting out of the 250 and spreading it with their crew?
Krafton said they were gonna pay the 25 million of the bonus meant for the crew regardless from what I understand, I think you are getting your facts mixed up (and being condescending about it).
That’s more then a server browser. You are just being deceptive. You cherry picked the one quote in the article that makes it look like there is nothing in your post and your comments aren’t honest.
What you are talking about is a whole other debate entirely and simply not how the industry runs anymore when it comes to multiplayer shooters.
I want that stuff too but that’s not what server browser means. The finals and cod don’t have server browsers. Bf6 will have a server browser.
They are still releasing it in early access it seems, they are just delaying it.
The team is still getting paid their bonus, and they have more time to implement more things before the early access release from what I understand.
I kind of prefer my games delayed. Maybe its ready to leave now and the delay is a big scam but all im seeing is less pressure on the team making it and more content. For the rest, they can figure it out in court.
That’s the thing tho, they said they would honor the bonus for every employee except those three. Granted the three were getting the lionshare of the bonus, almost all of it, so the publisher is still saving money but they aren’t screwing over the actual people making the game in regards to this.
We get a delayed release with more content which is usually a good thing imo. Worse case scenario is three dudes getting screwed out of half of their 500$ million paycheck. Just pointing out that it isn’t a bad situation per say for consumers. If the game was lacking, we are being done a favor.
We currently don’t know which party is acting in bad faith. The publishers could be delaying to avoid the payout or the 3 founders could be rushing to get the payout. It’s true that a shit half baked game would ruin the series and cause damages, if there is an actual lack of content, there is justification in delaying it.
I guess we will get a clearer picture as the lawsuits draw to a close and the game is released.
It’s a lot of money. There are huge incentives on both sides to do the wrong thing (either delay a finished game or push out something half baked).
That being said, the current course of action, regardless of justification, is actually going to get us a better game in the end. So there is a sunny side to it for the consumer, which is kind of really rare when you think about it.
I would also love to hear from other workers.
So from what I understand. That 250$ million bonus to “employees” was almost all going to like 3 people. The smaller bonus that was going to actual employees, they said they would honor it anyways.
I’m happy those three founders gave us the first subnautica, but I’d rather a better game on release then something rushed so they get a payday (they also already got paid when they sold their company in any case).
Really hard to say who is in the right without having gameplay footage or real details, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it does need more time and it was going to come out as a mess.
The article is a bit confusing, only the first paragraph is relevant I think. It seems like 22nd refers to last Tuesday and then the article jumps to events that happened a year ago. It might be the translation, I’m just using the built in Firefox one.
In any case, it is the link in the video description.
I’m talking about having us visit the youtube video just to get the article link, while having no information on what’s being discussed or new developments in the post body.
A youtube link alone is essentially just click bait. This kind of comes off as a youtuber trying to bring up his views and not a lemming trying to start a discussion.
You can’t put the article link instead of the generic yahoo.jp? Are you trying to get views or something?

Administrative sanction on VISA for suspected violation of antitrust law The Public Commission applies the affirmative procedure
On the 22nd, the Japan Fair Trade Commission applied the administrative and affirmative procedures of Visa, an international credit card brand, as a suspected violation of the Antitrust Act (unfair trading method) regarding the terms of business with its partners, with regard to the terms and conditions of transactions with partners. According to the commission, it is the first administrative disposition on a credit card international brand, including the largest in the industry and the largest share (market share) in the country.
[Figure] In 2024, the Public Commission will inspect the VISA Japan corporation
In July 2024, the Public Commission conducted an on-site inspection of a Japanese subsidiary of a visa on suspicion of violating the Antitrust Act. We were also investigating overseas related sites such as U.S. headquarters.
The affirmation procedure is one of the administrative measures that aims to resolve the problem at an early stage by agreement between the Public Commission and the business operator. This month, the Visa submitted a voluntary improvement plan that “commits” the resolution of suspected illegality and reporting the status of its implementation under the supervision of a third party for five years, and the commission recognized it as effective in preventing recurrence.
In line with this, the Public Commission did not recognize the violation of the Antitrust Act of the visa, and postponed more enforceable administrative measures such as exclusion measures orders and surcharge payment orders. Yutaka Yamada
Extra named NPCs was what I was hoping for. I understand why they didn’t because it would of been a huge change and I’m sure some of the fan base would have been very vocal about it.
I would have loved if they shipped it with mod support and maybe a oblivion+ version with official mods built by their teams like added npcs and other extras.
I played oblivion when it first came out but I put a lot more hours in to skyrim. I do think they could have improved the game a bit more. I’ve only been in the capital yet but it felt brutally empty, with all the npcs having the same path/walking speed and so few of them.
I think a bit of decorations and a few new npcs would have gone a long way. I wished they would have worked on the AI a bit more. Taverns don’t have bards and little ambiance, walking into one is disappointing and ends up with all the npcs in a clump moving at a snails pace because all their walking paths overlap at the same time when they spawn it. It was the same in the original but it’s also 2025.
The waterfront could have really used a bit more shacks. The arena posters just slapped onto walls bother me as well.
Thankfully, I imagine mods will fix all this so I’m optimistic overall.
Make sure you donate to the Archive and not Change.org . It’s easy to click the link, sign the petition and then donate to the wrong organisation. Change.org is kind of scummy like that.
Curiosity piqued.
BOKURA: planet gives you and the person you’re playing with different objectives and stories, which you’re supposed to hide from each other as you play over voice chat. Add to this that you’ll be able to push each other off cliffs in-game and… you can probably already see where this is going.
Carmack then came to the defense of the demo. He went on to argue that “AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics. Yes, we will get to a world where you can get an interactive game (or novel, or movie) out of a prompt, but there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers. The world will be vastly wealthier in terms of the content available at any given cost.”
Carmack acknowledged that AI may lead to fewer jobs for game developers before suggesting “it could go the way of farming, where labor-saving technology allow a tiny fraction of the previous workforce to satisfy everyone.” He went to address anti-AI sentiment by stating that " ‘don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs’ is not a winning strategy."
Microsoft put up the demo, buy I haven’t tried it (not available on mobile). https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham?features=labs-wham-enabled . The article mentions it is a bit limited though.
You can print out cards in physical TCG and put them in your deck as well. You can’t sell virtual cards but they are also free for the most part.
I think regular TCG with its 8$ boosters is much worse. I had a lot more fun playing MTG arena without spending a dime then the hundreds I put into the physical cards while playing once in a blue moon with them.
So in 2042, if you had the premium battle pass, you could set up one persistent server. It was hosted by them but didn’t disappear without players. I don’t know how it will work for bf6.
I think the most important feature is that we have persistent lobbies that don’t disband after a game like matchmaking. That they “stay online” while nobody uses it is really not the important part imo.
