Can you not download from the site on mac?

Yeah, so a good faith response would be to ask Itch to remove that game and associated copyrighted imagery. Nobody would have really minded that. Uncharitable, I would have thought, but with copyright law being what it is, perhaps legally necessary.

What they did, however, was they told Itch’s DNS that Itch was hosting fraud and phishing, which resulted in their whole service going offline for some hours. That is deceitful and hostile.

The bit where they said itch.io was hosting fraud and phishing.

They’ve done enough to hurt themselves.

You can taste AI in their words.

2025: the REAL year of Luigi.

They should go back to the NWN engine.

…and be $15 on gog.com

Yeah, my current plan is to pass on TES6.

When they kill the games, they no longer make money on them. So playing without paying is not a lost sale, even if the player is corrupt enough to enjoy playing. So there’s no problem yeah?

Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.

Nintendo aren’t the worst company. Not even the worst gaming company. Not when they have competition like Ubisoft and Warner Brothers and EA and Activision.

Of course, if it weren’t for the presence of the aforementioned companies, Nintendo would be the worst.

To shreds you say?

Cool. Do Facebook next.

Nope, just your regularly scheduled Nintendo technology lag.

Wake me when the repo trucks arrive.

Wow, it’s been 40 years since I played on a spectrum.

I don’t play it either, and I’m happy to hear that.

If the games don’t depend on the publisher running a server for them to work, then there’s no “dead game” problem. We can play games until we’re done, then move on, and other people can play without us.

Exactly. John “Bucky” Buckley is part of the problem if his company is making games that need a a first-party server to run.

Most single player experiences should work fine in a completely offline context. I don’t need to know what other players are doing.

Multiplayer games should allow second-party hosting. Like in those LANs we had in the 90s, but over the Internet.

Very few games benefit from being massively online. The online stuff is usually tacked-on FOMO rubbish that tries to make us addicted.

Perhaps let us finish a game, then we’ll buy another one. The current gaming economy is wrecked.

The best way to avoid having your words used by an LLM is to mash your fingers with a mallet before typing. The resulting typographical errors will ensure that the AI rejects your text before using it for training.

Do Ubisoft next!

Fire everyone. Close the studio.

How do you know if someone is a bisexual vegan economics major who uses Linux? They’ve already told you.

We know. You keep telling us.

End of financial year innit. Got to look more profitable.

Of shit. And died. With a stomach full of shit. While moaning: “I now understand how much of a jackwad I’ve been! How very embarrassing! This serves me right!”

You should use Linux.

Ubisoft systematically abuse their human employees. Maybe this is a good use case for AI.

He’s not wrong, but blandness is king in the AAA space.

If the right handful of unfireable people ignore the mandate then it goes away. That’s what happened at my work and we’re all happier and more productive for it.

Not nearly as much fun. Reggie is still up for it.

No we’ll bother Reggie like we always have.

The artists, programmers etc have already been paid as much as they’re going to get for it.

That’s a good way to get yourself blocked. Bye.

Griftlands doesn’t get as much attention as I think it deserves. It’s everything Slay the Spire offers, but better. With plot and characters and two decks to balance.

Well blow me down.

Ha ha ha this dumb chord.

Have they plugged the memory leaks on Switch yet?
