lol fair enough, it’s Bioware, but the point still stands

But… you still don’t own it. You own an Ubi EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.

an update which was specifically designed to break the mod.

I’m not worried about functionality, I’m worried about ads, AI, and privacy. Win11 is actively hostile on all three points

While under the Acti banner, it released the likes of Blur and James Bond 007: Blood Stone.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of either of these games, and those were pretty prime years for gaming for me. Sounds more like Acti fucked the over an acquisition than anything, which wouldn’t be at all surprising

I’m in the minority that doesn’t support fraud 🤷‍♂️ I don’t care how much time and effort they put into the game after stealing millions of dollars

And a willingness to lie out your ass and fraudulently market for years

The worst thing is none of the executives are getting fired (in a proper more manner, no golden parachutes and clawbacks on any stock based compensation).

lol, welcome to the west

If you buy a PS5 just for AstroBoy, same. Its Game of the Year but def not the best ever PS5 game. God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman…

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think they put a whole lot of thought into the series… it’s a solid formula that has changed very little in decades.

…you’re joking, right? Electing the convicted rapist, convicted fraudster, racist, sexist, wannabe dictator that literally tried to lead a coup four years ago didn’t tip you off?

The man also built a company that refused to provide anti-vomit meds to children on chemo. “Think of the children,” they demanded, while thinking of literally no children but their own.

Miss me with this bullshit. Bad people deserve bad endings, and he got what he deserved.

If our laws and justice system ever decide to start working for anyone except the rich, then maybe I’ll start giving a fuck about them. I’m sure Trump and Elon will get right on that.

Turns out that looting millions of people’s healthcare for profit and ruining a large subset of their lives doesn’t garner you any sympathy. Crazy how that works.

Because it’s fucking inane. Yes, it’s only one part of the problem - nothing was ever stated otherwise, he’s simply speaking on the topic at hand.

Do you also say “no, ALL lives matter?”

Ohhhh no, poor Microsoft can’t further their monopoly until they comply with court orders! Poor, poor corporation

I would expect half of the haptics to go away, tbh. They’re much weirder for a handheld because it can affect the screen, which is part of the controller doing haptic things. Add on the extra battery drain and I’ll bet we get the adaptive triggers and maybe some mediocre version of vibration.

I love Balatro, but this is definitely recency bias. It’s going to mostly fade from mainstream popularity and acclaim long before then.

the storylines all culminated to the point where you were the dragonborn, master wizard, super thief and ultimate warrior.

This is true of both Oblivion and Morrowind, isn’t it?

…who would choose to hang out in the DRM community? That’s super weird

It’s still early access… Valve literally invented the hats economy, you’re insane if you think they aren’t going to add microtransactions to the game 🙄

Oh no

Either F, T, or S… but probably T.

F has Final Fantasy, Fallout, Factorio

S has Satisfactory, Super anything (incl Mario), most Star Wars games, and Sid Meier games

T has The ______. The list is too long to even start.

“Just days AFTER ?”

Someone’s getting fired for being so slow.

:Also it is disrespectful to have a foreigner going around killing Japanese.

This part is fucking stupid but the rest makes sense.

No, just play Black Flag.

Nowhere near the scales of other communities 😂🤣 have you not heard of overwatch? The game was literally made for r34, as far as I can tell

Is it mismanagement if the reason it’s only on one console at launch is because the devs want to get each game out as soon as possible, only having to focus on one piece of hardware?

I mean, yeah? Bad decisions for good reasons are still bad decisions 🤷‍♂️

Crazy that splitting a medium-length game into 3 massive parts isn’t the right way to remake a game 🙄 is there anyone that hasn’t lost interest by now?

He ‘asks’ the same of FFXIV players and yet it’s modding scene is one of the most degenerate places in gaming.

…you don’t spend much time outside of the FF14 community, huh? 😅

25% is honestly probably high

Fans? This is an official source from Nintendo, how is this fans being weird? 😅

It’s a more MOBA-y Overwatch. If you like Overwatch, you will probably enjoy it. If you don’t, there’s still a chance but it’s not super likely.

I watch plenty of streamers (about half of which play shooters), my primary gaming platform is Steam, and I do watch a small amount of TV, where other games have been advertised during this time. If they used those platforms for advertising, they didn’t do it well. You got me on the State of Play tho

Eh, does Vault-Tec care about profits or science? Almost everyone died, and the ones that didn’t aren’t paying anymore.

There are certainly some critiques of capitalism - the vaults being paid at all - but I think you’re overselling it

What’s Concord? I’ve literally never heard of this before

Spoiler: if you don’t advertise at all, people won’t play your game

This is objectively the ideal design, for reasons I assume I don’t have to explain.

…can you explain? I don’t understand the issue with the reader being underscreen, let alone why being on the power button is best.

I refuse to get a Switch because, I genuinely dislike Nintendo as a company. Though thats for another time.

Absolutely wild to hate Nintendo but support Microsoft or Sony 😅 they’ve got their share of sins, sure, but they aren’t nearly as anti-competitive or scummy as the other two, especially not if you look deeper than the surface.

People are mentioning handheld consoles when talking about handheld consoles? So weird.

Also, I don’t see how they can say with a straight face that none of their ongoing projects or releases are going to be impacted by laying off the entire team.

Layoffs are rarely immediate - perhaps the contract lasts until release?
