Ah, yes. Just gaslight me. Real mature.

You’re completely missing/ingoring mine and the other user’s point.

Sure, they might focus on a certain demographic as theur customer, but that’s not what actually makes them money. They’re not paying attention to reality and it’s going to bite them in the ass

Wow, you two are some miserable bastards. Go seek help.

Pokémon is still aimed at a younger audience.

Even if that’s their target audience, it doesn’t matter because that’s not who is buying and playing them the most. And guess what matters most? It’s the group that are actual paying customers.

I’ve seen several threads on Lemmy of fanboys defending Nintendo. They just haven’t gotten to this thread yet

I’ve installed on a separate SSD.

Thankfully that should prevent most issues of Windows fucking up dual-booting

Hosting servers isn’t free.

And it’s game devs that pay for the multiplayer server upkeep, not the storefronts.

And I highly doubt that any money spent on XBox Live or PSN subscriptions was ever sent their way.

This is just a flimsy defense for greed

And when you quicksave in games, you’ll need to wait 5 minutes for OneDrive to connect to Windows servers to sync up the save before you can continue playing

The original DS released almost 21 years ago. Because of that, the patent is now in the public domain, hence why products like this can be sold now

TBF, the dude has made millions off the game, and he doesn’t make the updates paid dlc. He just keeps adding to SDV because he loves it

but Wikipedia does say that the Deck has HDMI out

No, it has USB 3.0 type-C that’s capable of video output

The patent troll you’re referring to is SCUD (fuck those guys and fuck their owners, Corsair).

Thankfully, Valve won the appeal in their lawsuit a few years back and the patent is no longer valid. Unfortunately, the damage was already done

Wait, isn’t Story of Seasons the new name for the Harvest Moon franchise? What’s a Nintendo game doing on there?

This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.

Aparently one of the companies that made the purchase is owned by Jared Kushner. You’re probably spot on with that assessment

The hell does “piracy against big companies” even mean?

Paying for indies while pirating AAA isn’t that hard of a concept to wrap your head around. Sounds more like a “you” problem

I’m planning on yo-ho’ing CP2077, but no way an I paying even if I enjoy it. CDPR has fucked me over enough with The Witcher trilogy that they owe me a free game to make up for the time and money wasted.

After that, I might be willing to give them money again for something else, but I’m not paying for Cyberpunk

Supergiant Games took a payout to make Hades a times exclusive for EGS. They still have some anti-consumer practices, even if you personally don’t think it’s as bad.

Huh? Just get an old Dell optiplex tower on Ebay or Craigslist and install Batocera on it. It’d probably cost a similar amount

Why are trying to convince me my omptimism is futile?

Because they’re miserable and they want everyone else to be miserable too

Counterpoint: yar har fiddle dee dee

Reeks of old, greedy executive BS. So short-sighted in terms of both profitability and goodwill.

TBH, this seems like most Japanese companies in a nutshell

No shit. My question is whether there’s enough value in EA’s IP get more than their investment money out of doing that.

If the IP isn’t worth enough, they can’t get their money back, no matter what method they use to extract it

Thing is, could they even get enough from selling the IP to cover the purchase?

All. The. Trains.

PocketPair announced Palfarm^[1],

Except More Than Just Pals is actually being developed

I’ve been playing Monster Sanctuary. It’s a Metroidvania Creature Collector that works surprisingly well.

I’m trying to get through the game before picking up Aethermancer, with is a Roguelike Creature Collector made by the same dev, and it launched a couple of weeks ago

TBH, with the death of Moore’s law we might see competition shoot back up in a few years as smaller players get a chance to catch up

Tim Sweeney, the guy who has his studios go out of their way to break Linux support?

The guy whose lawsuits with Apple and Google are likely why Android is going to require developer registration in a couple years?

The guy whose storefront couldn’t be bothered to add a shopping cart for 2 years despite throwing millions of dollars at publishers for exclusivity?

“Gay people should be stoned to death”

Really peaceful conversation there, huh

/s since you so obviously need it

It’s a tossup between him and Tim Sweeney

Metroidvanias are at their core based on having areas closed off without specific abilities, while open worlds are about having the worl not be closed off. I don’t see how you can make a game that attempts both without failing at being good in either domain

But who knows, maybe it’ll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.

At least Zelda was already pretty close to open world with most of their entries. Metroidvanias don’t really work as open worlds as a genre

Yeah, the bike section looked horribly boring.

And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.

They specifically mentioned multiple questlines breaking and blocking progression in addition to several smaller bugs yet they still gave the game an 8/10. I get that IGN reviews are the softest of balls to hit, but that’s ridiculous for even them

Nintendo’s patent lawyers should be reported to the bar association over this. These most recent patents are atrociously bad and could probably get the lawyers sanctioned

To call that dumbass palworld AI SLOP

Found the Nintendo fanboy. How do them boots taste?

Give eternal passes to Sony and Microsoft, but the pikachu/Mario guys are the villains…???

Obvious red herring. People yell about the bullshit Sony and Microsoft pull all the time. Have you ever considered that all 3 are shit?

You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong

If you’ve ever taken a philosophy course you’d know you’re completely full of shit.

Your whole comment belongs on r/okbuddyretard. Not that I should have expected any better from a Nintendo bootlicker

Yet it doesn’t seem to negatively effect the score

Nintendo is suing Palworld over patents they filed AFTER Palworld released, and said patents are so broad that many other games also technically violate said bullshit patents. Nintendo is the one in the wrong.

Eat my entire ass, bootlicker.

Capcom decided it was appropriate for them to add intrusice DRM into their games AFTER people already bought it.

Capcom can go eat everyone’s collective ass; they don’t deserve business
