Yeah exactly. And it’s often the only feedback that gets any attention unfortunately. It was getting media attention and getting very loud.
Plus the whole thing was just stupid. They could have accomplished exactly the same thing with little backlash by offering some little in-game trinket for voluntarily linking a PSN account where it was possible to get one. This wasn’t my idea, I saw it somewhere on Lemmy, but that person needs to get a job at Sony stat because the chucklefucks working there now have no clue.
I agree with your basic assessment.
As a mac user I’d love to see more mac games. I think it’s a relatively underutilized platform. Im not a game developer but it seems like one of the main issues of game development is the complete mishmash of supported hardware and different components and trying to optimize and support all of them. In that respect, macs seem more like consoles in their limited number of configurations and hardware variance so optimizations SHOULD be easier. Or at the very least not as complex. But macs are expensive and there is not a lot of overlap between gamers and mac. So therefore not a lot of mac games. It was easier when you could bootcamp and also play games on windows but that’s not really possible anymore.
Yeah I swear this was just like Halo.
Find a movie script that was barely related to the thing it was originally supposed to be about
Change a few small things in the script so it would seem like it was supposed to be about that original thing
Slap a title on it that will drive ticket sales
Profit.
It barely had anything to do with Rampage and I played a lot of that game when I was in high school.
And then they die when the servers are no longer maintained. Make more standalone games that don’t require servers.
