He wasn’t the only founder and Embracer bought them in 2021. Later TakeTwo acquired the studio when Embracer had to restructure. They operate under 2k now so he can most surely be fired.

Also probably why he is even more of a cocky cunt nowadays. He already cashed out.

19080p in 16:9 is 33,920X19,080 =647,193,600 pixels, 647 megapixels. 8K is 33.2 megapixels. So this dude is playing GTA 4 on a screen that has almost 20 times more pixels than an 8K screen

They are basically gig workers like in the film industry. This was always the case with QA jobs and low ranking artists, but nowadays it also happens to the other roles in a development project.

Probably people who are losers and haven’t accomplished anything are his audience. You know like teenagers. His loser vibe resonates with these type of people and at the same time he puts up this fake authoritative personality and people with low social skills or little life experience can’t see it’s a facade. So they treat him as some sort of expert in the game dev field, because they can’t see it’s all just lies.

The type of AI that researchers are building to try cure diseases are not LLMs. So not the stuff that is running behind these kind of tech for games.

Speaking of Dead in Vinland that game is 90% off. And even cheaper in the bundle with Dead in Bermuda.

You will never see 18+ only games that comes close to Cyberpunk or BG3 in scope. Because most retailers won’t stock A/O games, and these publishers still get a significant portion of revenue from these retailers selling physical games. And these games are simply too expensive to make to ignore those retailers.

It’s not just the media companies even the studios are full of leftists/progressives. Like Blizzard should have a fucking hard time to find workers. But nope. The blue hairs still line up to apply or never left. Remember the loudest progressives are just virtue signaling. And they just appropriated punk esthetics but never embraced the punk ethos.

A programmer not understanding aesthetics. That tracks. Does this dude not understand that these modern nostalgiacore games don’t have 150 people working on it like FF7. Devs choose these aesthetics in part because they are cheaper to make.

That’s straight up the behavior of a company that wants to create a monopoly. Buy up the smaller companies so the competitors can’t buy them up and then just shut those companies down so their products can’t compete with the existing money makers. The money they put into those studios for game development is just a charade to please the authorities. Cause if they would shut those companies down immediately after purchasing that would be undeniably anti-competitive behavior and illegal even in the US.

You can also do it like Dunkey does. Just record gameplay first, edit it to make an interesting or funny video and then later add the commentary and act like it’s given live during the moment. It’s easier to do if you aren’t used to giving off the cuff commentary during a live let’s play video. And you don’t have to be a live streamer to be a gaming YouTuber.

Maybe just focus on creating short videos first so you learn how to edit, give commentary and create little stories (yes even Let’s Play videos need to have some sort of “story” and theme). Remember the first dozens of videos will suck. Don’t focus on viewership or subs focus on honing the craft first. You also need to figure out your unique selling point, the thing people watch your videos for instead of the millions of other gameplay videos, and you will only figure that out if you start making videos.

Haven’t they been claiming this since the OG XBox

Wouldn’t that have artistic value? Since that adds to the story.

It’s not that they used animal mechs. It’s that the style of the mechs are very close to that of Horizon. Sony has copyright on the design, not on the idea.

maybe it’s because itch mostly sells non-porn games so they probably flew under the radar since they could have less fraudulent transaction or chargebacks as a porn site. Or the payment processors didn’t care too much that itch broke the compliance rules until someone reminded them of their duties. Like PornHub was showing illegal content for years and the payment processors only gave a shit about it until someone went to the news.

It’s not about morals. It’s purely about money. Porn sites are labeled as high risks because things like chargebacks, stolen credit cards etc happen more often at these adult websites. Not to mention the thin line between legal and illegal content. Therefore payment processors charge companies in the high risk category a higher fee since they need to audit these companies more frequently and deal with these chargebacks etc. more.

So either Itch.io goes into the high risk category and pay more for transactions or they remove porn. Maybe itch.io should just create a separate company to host these adult games.

Porn sites are categorized as high risk at these payment processors. So probably itch has to fall into the high risk category and incur higher fees or remove all porn content. If you fall into the high risk category the payment platform will probably audit you more often and thus charge higher fees.

OF probably had these same issues because they didn’t start as a porn site.

Holy fuck why did Collective Shout go full nuclear and go behind the platforms’ back and straight to the payment processors. Like they could have at least talk to the Itch.io people.

Not sure if it is possible in the Uk but in many countries solo devs can apply for art or culture grants. Which in my opinion is a more appropriate grant. Since this grant is a business grant that aims to spur economic activity aka create jobs and not just to get an end product made.

Hopefully he’ll sing a different tune after this conviction

Didn’t know Krafton was Korean. Now it all makes sense. Corporations in Korea are even worse than US corps. They hold so much power. Korea is basically a Cyberpunk country. On the other hand they shouldn’t have sold their soul to the devil. Like that deal was definitely too good to be true. Like half a billion + a quarter billion in bonuses for an indie studio. That’s probably more than the company made in their lifetime.

You do realize that step family aren’t blood relatives right? A horny teenager who met his older step sister for the first time when he was 15 and she 17 doesn’t have a familial bond with her, it’s just another hot girl for him. So nothing Alabama about that.

Those payment processors can just look at the store and see that it sells smut. Those payment processors do their own due diligence.

I think it has blown up in popularity because many more people nowadays have divorced parents and grew up in a blended family. I bet many guys have fantasized about fucking their step mom or older step sister and I bet even dads have fantasized about fucking the oldest step daughter who was already an adult when he married her mother.

Are the features on par with the official Nintendo controller or do they miss HD rumble like every other third party controller.

Wasn’t it obvious when that datasheet was released in one of the lawsuits. They paid Rockstar hundreds of millions for GTA V. Of course it’s unsustainable. Not to mention the pricing of GP is too good to be true. MS is hemorrhaging money on GP, on purpose. They basically play the standard Silicon Valley play book. Instead of making things yourself just sell access to customers to producers and price out the competition by undercutting them and incur heavy losses, so you become the only gatekeeper in town. And instead of a store like Steam where the studios and publisher can set their own prices they use a subscription model so they can not only gatekeep access to the customers MS can decide what they want to pay these game devs before the product even hits the service. And if they ever achieve a monopoly the game devs basically have no choice but to accept whatever MS offers.

Don’t even need to release the code. Just the server binary of the game.

lol. Games like The Crew aren’t super hard to be turned into a single player game. Nobody is asking them to add a 20 hour single player campaign with a fleshed out storyline. Just add bots and open up the game to be driven around in without an online connection.

Good. States shouldn’t be able to just go out on a whim and immediately go back in again like it’s a revolving door. The consequences should be severe for leaving. Otherwise voters in other member states will pull this shit as well, because they think they can just rejoin when the next pro EU government comes around. Also many voters in the UK voted for leave as a protest vote not because they actually wanted to leave. They didn’t understand the ramifications of their vote. Let the UK be the example of what a protest vote can cause.

The industry rather wants to hire Troy Baker for every project. Also voice actors, even in animation, rarely get a career boost after a single popular project. Even for live action actors it’s rare. Like how many actors that played in Lost still play in high profile projects.

Super Mario Bros Wonder. Probably all the Mario platformer games. Those games are mostly just pure gameplay. Sure there is fluff in the beginning to setup the story and setting but than it gets out of your way

This camera is a Hori product though.

Lame. Why this gamergate bs? What’s next? you gonna make a KotakuInAction community. Get blocked

Even in the 16bit era International Superstar Soccer was a better game than FIFA.

They can sue if they can prove that the code wasn’t reversed engineered in a clean room. Meaning nobody who wrote code looked at the original code. One person or group examines the software and writes the specifications and another group implements the specification without the teams interacting with each other. And usually a lawyer has to be involved and review the specification. The separation of teams is called the “Chinese Wall”

And depending on interpretation of the law if the people writing code used a decompiler that can be seen as breaching the “Chinese Wall” since the implementation is then not based solely on the specification but based on the original code.

Stop blaming developers. It’s management that doesn’t want to give the developers the time and money to optimize their game. Devs know how to optimize their game, they aren’t stupid. They can’t do shit if they don’t get the time to work on it.

So, ports like Stellar Blade on PC are great for fans to see, and I’m hoping game developers and publishers can look at this as a template going forward.

Yeah that’s not how it works, you can’t look at other games and see how to optimize your game. Every game engine and game works differently under the hood.
