Right now the iPhone can straight up connect to the Iridium Satellite network, which IMO is far more useful that FM radio in any emergency. At least that system can send and receive messages, including most importantly GPS Co-ordinates.

Tbf it takes a significantly smaller team to develop a 2d platforming game like terraria. The overhead for art and design is mush simpler too than something like a Cyberpunk 2077

They are gonna reserve the right to delete any account they want no matter what. I bet it’s in the terms of service of basically all the market places. There are a million reasons why they might want to delete an account. What if an account is used for exploiting Unisoft services. For ddos attacks. Extreme hate speech. Even in purchased games, there is clauses that make clear that they can delete your account. After all how are you supposed to ban hackers?

I’m not saying it’s right that they can do that. I think there should be regulations about what rights the consumer has and what rights the marketplace has, but lacking that, it’s common sense on the companies part to promise nothing and reserve rights to everything.

I suppose Microsoft is glad they didn;t buy SEGA then.

This won’t even stop LLMs, ones from countries that don’t respect copyright will simply advance past the ones that are. Like a Chinese tech company could simply ignore all that, and what, is Sarah Silverman going to sue Tencent in China? Good Luck. Tiktok uses copyrighted music constantly without permission, yet YouTube Shorts had to set up a system with the publishers. All that copyright laws in their current form do is hamper basically everyone for the sake of a few large companies.

Angry Birds. I bought a ad free version for like 2 bucks and it’s the original angry birds with no MTX.

IMO a lot of people are here are hating on Unisoft and rightly so in regards to the SH stuff but IMO they have been taking the series in a pretty decent direction since Unity and Syndicate. The two year gap between games for example. The reimagining with Oddessey and Origins though Valhalla was a miss IMO.

Making the combat less mash click to win was great too. Like if you go back to Syndicate or even older, you can literally close your eyes in a fight or simply just press counterattack to one shot literally everything. Honestly this was something that annoyed me since Altair’s Chronicles on the PSP. People forget how guns and bows used to not even require aiming and always locked on.

People complained about the lack of stealth but I want to remind people that Syndicate literally had invisibility. You could brute force your way through every level if you wanted to in literally all the games if you wanted to. Making not stealth more fun in Origins was barely the departure from status quo that people made it out to be.

I played Oddessey in full stealth mode and it was more fun than Evi in syndicate since one shorting literally everyone from a bush was not possible for the higher level grunts (who I usually set animals on or kick them off high places) and there was more strategy since the grunts were a tad smarter with them one of a group always running off to light an alarm beacon.

I mean if there is one company that took risks with their largest franchises it’s Unisoft. Origins literally changed massive parts of the game, arguably even changing the genre. IMO as someone who tried to go back to some of the older games like Syndicate and Black Flag they are really dated in a lot of ways.
