Was it any good? It kinda just disappeared from the zeitgeist. Don’t even know the main characters name.

I’ve played every one except for Mirage, paid like 10€ for every single one.

patientgamers ftw

Criminals in general are stupid. They tend to lack impulse control.

The actual smart ones don’t get caught or steal legally.

Just check how much money GTA online has made for Rockstar every year. It’s an 11 year old game that makes half a BILLION dollars yearly.

No wonder they’re not in a hurry to get GTA 6 out. It MUST be better than GTA online both for gameplay and microtransactions as well as have the tech for live service

So you can just pop that folder on any computer and run it, without installing Steam and without a Steam account?

GoG Vault would disagree with you on that.

You can download the full installers and keep them, nobody can take them away or disable it remotely

Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.

In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin

Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.

If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet

The PS4 was underpowered for it and it never should’ve been launched on it. Pro was ok-ish

I played through CP2077 at launch and found like two bugs.

You do understand that you’re not in the majority?

The root problem is that Android lets carriers “enhance” their devices with crapware and also make it hard or impossible to install without technical know-how

Yes for all of the first group.

No for Safari.

My need to install “unsanctioned” apps on my phone is on par with my need to install random apps on my PS5. Zero. YMMV.

With the exception of Safari, you can uninstall every application using the standard process.

Can you do that for Android carrier crapware that’s preinstalled? Just tap on it and choose uninstall?

Android is giving the carriers the option to do that. They don’t need to give the tools for crapware installation

It’s hardly intrusive, no pop ups or “hey I’m here” notifications. You can uninstall most of them in seconds without special tools.

Android crapware is much more deeper, it’s not stuff your grandma can uninstall.

Only on Android and Windows.

Zero issues on Linux and MacOS

So who is the CEO of Brand Shield? 🤔

Any game in that genre combined with local and remote multiplayer would be a hit

Check out the leaks from the Sony/Microsoft trial

There are literally tens of millions of people who ONLY use their PS5 for CoD - a live service multiplayer game.

A whole generation of people have literally never played a single player game and don’t know how to.

People expect all games to be multiplayer with online live ops and events and a steady flow of new content.

That’s why you need to have a 500 person team. Someone needs to be designing and coding the valentine’s event for 2025 right now

Stupid parents give their kids unlimited access to mobile payments.

It’s like basic parental controls are a black art only few master

“Open beta” lets them erase progress if they want.

“Early access” usually implies that you get a head start on the normies

Outrun with shadow multiplayer. You could see other players on the same road, but without crashing into them.

I think you’re one of the people who wanted a cyberpunk GTA game and didn’t get it.

The story is fucking amazing, some of the side quests will stay with you for a long time.

The combat and driving are fine, I endure both to get forward in the story.

Enabling TCS on planets and having to disable them on a destroyed version of the map a month later because the TCS was actually mutating the bugs to become more powerful?

Yes, you still shoot bugs and robots.

But the planets that are available- and by extension the missions - change all the time. You can’t just mainline the game for 150 hours in a week and experience all of it.

Most of the people complaining about the lack of variance in gameplay are the ones playing 12 hours a day constantly.

You can’t “binge” a live service game where the plot changes in real time.

Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia too. Not exactly developing countries.

I have knowledge on mobile gaming, they do this too.

It doesn’t pay to manage some shitty off brand Android phone’s compatibility issues when your whole country spends less in a month than a half dozen midwestern moms in an evening on the game.

Tell me you don’t understand anything about software without telling me…

Bungie can do that because they have a shit ton of resources. Arrowhead is 100 people total.

The devs hate the requirement too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjyll7/some_discord_updates/

This is 100% a Sony thing

So they should’ve delayed the release until Sony got their shit together with the PSN API?

It also prompted for a login at the start

It’s been like 24 hours. Everyone at Sony is asleep while Arrowhead is being 💩 on for Sonys decision

I’m guessing you have an Origin, EA and Microsoft account though? Along with Steam, Epic, Gog and what else?

EDIT: lol at all the downvotes with zero explanations 🤣

Proton is so good that devs have actually gotten better performance by dropping their native Linux build and just running a proton-emulated version in Linux 😀

Tim Sweeney has an infinite money hack called “Fortnite” and he uses it to get exclusive games
