“But we consulted and what we heard again and again was, “Hey, I accept that we’re not paying you enough. I actually think you’re delivering more value.”

Seems like they’re keeping up the war on users…

Hmm, I’ll wait for the Youtubers, this bunch gave Starfield top marks.

Well making bad games isn’t working so well either is it…

This is where it’s at now, ‘smaller’ teams that actually care about the thing they’re making.

We don’t need games made by teams of 19,000 people like AC:Shadows, it’s bloat. Skyrim was made with a team of less than 300.

You’re very conveniently and likely deliberately leaving out that more than 1/2 the cost for Mario 64 was manufacturing the cartridge…

I’d rather wait than buy a console for a single game that will barely hit 720p/30.

If you’ve played and enjoyed any 2D JRPG, you’ll be fine here.

and SimCity 3000 and SimCity 2000 (Macintosh)

Valve Cease and Desist incoming in 3, 2…

Did it have peanuts?

Because as it turns out, most people don’t want games like that, only a very small, very loud minority wants 20min ‘focused’ games.

You’re upset that a viewpoint you hold is not actually the universal common viewpoint you thought it was.

There is crossplay, so unless PlayStation wants to play on their own (which they’d have an even bigger cry about) this is required.

yum yum

u wot m8?

Discord has been enshittified for years.

Flatpak

…Why?

Doesn’t really matter though, it’s NOT on the consumer. We don’t have a responsibility to buy badly optimised garbage.

Same problems as ever with custom roms though, Cameras don’t work as properly, BT/Wifi issues, have to run old unsecure kernels, etc.

Both and Neither.

It’s the same as the GTA remasters, it’s still Gamebryo running the game, but UE5 will be handling the rendering.

Nah, that’s just normal vendor lockin. It’s been around forever.

It’s awful, but it’s not new.

Looks good, but I question your motives for not just linking it.

You’re trying to game search engines with dishonesty and not about that.

Except they can’t, they got DMCA’d so they can never do those mods ever again, they’re lost forever.

Buying Campo Santo changed Valve a lot, for the worse.

You appear to have posted a negative opinion of 'ol Musky

Please remain seated, DOGE will collect you for reeducation soon.

Thanks Google!

I wish I could get into it, I’ll give it another go next week, but after a red hot try a few nights back, it just didn’t click with me.

Garrick seemed pretty chill though.

The children that make the Roblox games.

Too bad their former lead developer beat them to the punch…

EVERYWHERE is pretty much that, Roblox but with better jraphics.

Please Understand

Don’t forget their spectacular Arkham Knight port that was so good, it was delisted from Steam and Rocksteady had to come back and start the port over.

I’m not sure they’re worth saving.

Hopefully they’ll add an AOL’esqe ‘you got nudes’ sound.

If it’s live service with parts of the game locked off unless you play it at the right time and are connected online, I’m not interested.

‘HITMAN’ turned me off so quickly with that. I just play Blood Money again instead.

Lawyers gotta lawyer.

It’s why I’m putting off playing it again for a few years.

I’m over restarting the game again and again, konpeki plaza pls.

Also they can spin on their own in a handheld-

In a stationary device like a desktop trackball or an arcade cabinet, they settle but a handheld device is moving very slightly while being held and more vigorously when picked up/put down, which can move the ball. Trackpads won’t do that.

Yes, but this is the same Nintendo that just successfully patented riding mounts in japan…

So Obviously Nintendo invented AI upscaling and no one else has ever used it or even thought of it.

oh no, anyway.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

I wouldn’t even say it was good.

It was aggressively mid.

I own it, I’ve played it through. I don’t think I’ll ever pick it up ever again. I’ll get this sequel when it’s under $10.

It’s more likely to try and capture more hype and eventual sales, TOW2 doesn’t exactly have lot of hype behind it right now.

Namco Bandai considers PC a second class citizen.

Vote with your wallet.

Where’s Rache Bartmoss when you need em?
