Microsoft really knows how to pick the winners, don’t they?

Wish people would be more comfortable simply feeling inspired by Nintendo and doing their own things

The PalWorld devs did that. Nintendo sued them anyway.

Movies are severely overpriced, though.

Don’t you mean a stealthily-loosed arrow?

Fallout 3 isn’t a FPS. It’s got turn-based combat because of VATS, and that’s what makes it good.

Eh, people will just forget about it and go back to playing AC within a month, anyway.

The problem is that interest rates have gone up after being extremely low ever since the 2008 crash, so investors lost their endless supply of debt-fuelled free money. They can’t pump money into companies operating at a loss anymore, so suddenly those companies have to find a way to turn a profit.

Also announcing that if you’ve ever used Unity they can just suddenly decide that you owe them more money.

The one apple seller in a town that sells all kinds of baked goods jacks up prices of apples to $100 each.

No, it’s more like one apple seller who arbitrarily decides that the people who already bought apples from them at a lower price now need to pay extra.

If the heat dies down then devs will have time to finish their current projects and switch to new engines for the next ones. Even a temporary walk-back would be enough to prevent disaster for a lot of studios.

• Wizards of the Coast

The OGL stuff and the Pinkerton incident, right?

• Adobe

They’ve been pretty shitty for a while now. What have they done recently? (I don’t use any of their stuff.)

• X-Rite/Pantone/Danaher

Don’t even know who these guys are.

• Monotype

Something font-related?

• BMW

This is the heated seat subscription, right? Anything else I’m not aware of?

• Netflix

Account sharing?

• Reddit

No explanation needed there.

I’m using Godot 3 for my current project because even the relatively minor changes I’d have to make to port it to Godot 4 would be unfeasible. If I had to change engines entirely I’d have to just abandon the project.

I’m in the middle of a project right now that’s going to be released on an out-of-date engine because the newest versions broke backward compatibility and I’m too far along to port everything. If I had to change engines entirely at this point I’d have to cancel the entire project.

It was so boring I rebooted the simulation before it was even announced. Unfortunately, things don’t seem to have gone any better this time around.

It got forked into MPV and is still under active development.

You can’t? We just had a summer filled with high-budget flops, and now both the actors and the writers are on strike meaning that the studios won’t be able to recoup their losses any time soon. Add the reduced to non-existent theatre turnout in the first couple of years of the decade due to COVID and there’s been a hell of a lot of money “getting out of Hollywood.”

Or just pay $20 for one of the ones that you stick your phone in.
