I didn’t, but I knew it was so far just a merch deal from the comments. I just don’t think that’s where this ends, and Sony does not have a reputation for being subtle in getting what it wants.

Unfortunately, their opinion no longer counts for much

RIP Palworld. It was good while it lasted.

There were for a while there.

RIP in pepperoni game pass

A mesh system isn’t, strictly speaking, needed, but turning that extender into a first-class participant in the network is. Swapping the extender for anything that can broadcast an ssid (Access point or any home router) and extending the wired network to it (cat5/6 across the attic/crawlspace ftw) would also resolve the problem, albeit exchanging the cost savings of not buying a full mesh system for labor installing the new wire.

Endless DLC is literally the paradox business model. I happen to find it an acceptable compromise for continuous development of the games I like, at least the way paradox does it, but lets not pretend like this was going to be different from a business model perspective.

Sounds like someone needs a visit from their democracy officer

I would argue that’s VRChat. Idk what roblox is becoming.

Agreed, though I think there’s more to salvage from the story than he’s giving it credit for.

The campaign is a little cutscene-heavy and a little short, but the story isn’t much worse than HW2’s, maybe a little better imo.

Mechanically though, it’s (probably) better than the remasters. Directional damage is still there, homing projectiles are gone, fighters dynamically form squads instead of staying in a big blob or fixed-width squads in 2. I read some of those reviews at most of them don’t appear to have played more than the first 2 missions? Like, there was one lore error in one line of dialogue and people lost their goddamn minds.

I think it was really just a victim of 1) Embracer’s implosion meaning it had to launch now or not at all and 2) people’s expectations being all the way up at 11 since the last game was so long ago. Really, a little bit of story DLC to flesh out the main campaign and there would be no problems.

Doubt we’ll see it though.

We did this with the Xbox series S actually, so that model does have some merit, just not at the 500 USD price point.

Depends on where the site is hosted and/or monitized, but if it’s the US then a US court will simply execute the fine as written, generally, as part of our reciprocity agreements with the EU regarding enforcement of court orders.

No, they would have to collect from some Europeans and then geoblock all of Europe, and they might be good.

It would have gone live with yesterday’s patch and didn’t, so there’s significant substance to their statement so far

Let’s not forget that with Gamepass, it’s not just a better game by folding in PC, but they’re doing something completely different with their consoles than Sony is. More and more, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are either competing with Valve or against themselves, and not each other.

It’s Monday in Japan, it took precisely the whole weekend.

Never thought I would see the day.

If his business relationship with Sony doesn’t consist exclusively of active hostility then he has failed his staff and shareholders.

Mixed so far. The one thing that arrowhead has taught this community is teamwork. We’re on course for Mostly Negative in the next week or two.

Lmao, this was such a panic reaction by sony that they’ve banned all US territories as well multiple countries where PSN is active.

They are so cooked that this isn’t even funny.

I feel exactly zero sympathy for them at this point. All they had to do for the narrative to be ‘Fuck Sony’ instead of ‘Fuck Arrowhead and Sony’ was nothing. Sony cannot compel speech out of employees of companies in EU member states.

Unless the objective was to generate as much hate and aggro as possible, in which case these clown tier responses were perfect.

You know where

Ya gotta remember that at its inception, at least in the US, copyright had 2 things going for it:

The duration was limited to 14 years, not the death of the author +95 or fucking whatever it is currently, and that much of that duration would need to get burnt up in duplication and distribution of the work, all of which had significant costs associated with it. Hundred year long guarantees with unlimited instant reproduction of a work and instant mass distribution functionally for free would have been anathema at the time, and this kind of abuse of the system goes directly counter to the original as-written intent.

Too bad those ‘originalists’ in the courts only use that concept to suppress women and minorities instead of maybe picking up a small W with it here.

One of these days a Corp is going to push hard enough they get their rights stripped away for not meeting the ‘to promote the progress of science and useful arts’ part of the copyright clause and i’m starting to wonder if the big N is going to be the winner.

I would have far fewer issues with gacha games if more studios took that gacha money and used it to fund projects like this instead of swimming in it scrooge mcduck style.

Facts. His claim of there being no performance impact is especially dubious because A) he didn’t actually remove it, he bypassed an authentication step and B) The ‘only checks every few seconds and at level loads’ is only the parts he definitively recognized as part of denuvo. At best, he only proved that denuvo removed by a 3rd party is no more a performance hit than leaving it running, and it’s more likely that all he proved is that this method of bypassing denuvo provides no performance gains. I’m sure it was neat as a project, but this comes off to a 3rd party like some ‘we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing’ shit.
