And those comments don’t reflect the views of the devs. The mod was the issue

You’ll have to pry apk installation out of my dying hands.

Yeah, but the landscape is pretty harsh for AA games right now. They could easily milk the IP they already have.

The bar was so low. Shadow of the Colossus remaster would have made bank.

I would buy a shadow of the colossus remaster and pay for a DLC for more bosses.

No, I wait 3 years usually. All bugs fixed, everything works, mods in great shape and price down 50%. Plenty of games older than 3 years also and much lower hardware requirements.

I made an exception for Elden Ring last time but that’s about it.

• Doom 2016 $4 -80%
• Neon White 2022 $10 -60%
• Inscryption 2021 $8 -60%

Never played Doom 2016 but I’ve heard it’s very good.

That’s literally was Israel says about Gaza

That just fucks over gamers, not the Russian government.

On the steam hardware page it says the CPU and GPU are discrete although also “semi-custom” which I think means it’s not Gigabyte and has some cooling features that are tailored to the form factor.

I know my case is specific but having a Jellyfin running on a Steam computer looks to me as good case for having a computer in the living room. Adding a TV applications to Steam such as Netflix is also a case. Then there are people who have their workstation close to the TV so they can use it instead of their laptop and just switch displays with one of these HDMI branching dongles.

When it goes on sale 5 years later probably

I played Game Dev Tycoon (2013) from the same people and it was really good, I’m definitely going to try this one out

Thats not true. Privately owned firms tend to be really bad because they don’t have a feduciary duty to long term value. They suck everything dry. Private equity is the reason why daycare costs so much yet the daycare workers make minimum wage.

I think we’re probably not on the same wavelength. Privately owned doesn’t mean bad, a one person owner operated plumbing business is not bad.

Publicly traded corporations are also really bad because the goal is increase in share price at the cost of long term success often. If you can show profit or revenue growth at the cost of losing customers by cutting costs that’s positive over there.

Single person ownership of a company where the person cares about the company providing good value instead of making money is very different from maximising profit or resale value.

So the dissonance I think mostly stems from the example of daycare that you made and your conclusion that private ownership is worse than publicly traded companies. If the daycare was publicly traded it would probably look the same since none of the owners really care about the staff. On the contrary an owner operated business often do care about staff and their development at the cost of their fiduciary duty.

Private equity would gut a business for cash. Publicly traded would syphon away all customer value to increase the stock price. Owner operated business normally does neither since it’s their baby.

… and Gabe N owns more than 50% so it’s not really the same as owned by Blackrock. It’s still a founder owned and operated company.

They’re a functional monopoly in my case since I’m on Linux. GOG is the main competitor for my money.

Private equity is commonly referring to “owned by a private equity fund” like Blackrock. It often involves extracting unhealthy amount of short term profit to make the numbers look better then sell the business so they can record a profit.

I really liked the first AC game but when I played Odyssey I was disappointed. Beautiful game, fun mini-games, nice subsystems like upgrading the ship and whatnot. After the initial couple of hours I started to feel like everything is a chore.

Need a map? No way to buy, you have to run/ride and climb the chore tower.

Want to use equipment? Grind chore for the XP to meet the level requirement.

Want to beat a quest handed to you early? Grind XP

Want to complete side quests? All of the boilerplate fetch/kill quests.

Just please, give me a starting weapon that’s good enough and I can just stealth kill my way through the main quest. Also, just allow me to buy the map.

Anything Warhammer 40k. The universe and the lore are amazing because they absorbed a lot of SciFi elements from literature. The games have often been underwhelming but when they’re good they’re really good.

The increase in framerate varies from game to game. Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance run better on Linux.

Nintendo, you mean the law firm?

Now do Black and White

It’s a fair point but it’s not as egregious as most other headlines. I personally give this one a pass since clickbaits are meta in the article space. It shows that GOG has this in their toolbox.

I think it’s an improvement though. You never part with your money unless you know exactly what you’ll get.

It’s basically individualised offers in the form of boxes.

Also most Ubisoft games in the last 10 years overall

That’s all because Wine is not an emulator

YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

Patents have an expiry for a reason and the expiry date is pretty generous IMO. It’s thought as “Startup x can invent and make money off it but after it the market should take over so further improvements can be made.” Imagine if they patented CRISPR Cas9 or the first DNA sequencing method. It would limit science for the entire time of the expiry but not after.

Claiming invention patent for the pokeballs more than 20 years after the game came out is absurd. They can keep the brand, trademark and IP for their weirdly long time but innovations should become public so the market can continue innovating.

So are they next going after unicorns that you capture?

Skyblivion better

Patience, the price will drop and the game will be just as good

Hearts of Iron 4 is also fun. You can take on the entire third reictb

Medieval 2 Total War. It’s the best Total War game and one of the oldest. It has a basic campaign map where you create and manage armies which you then use to go into a real time battle with thousands of units. There is nothing as satisfying as routing the enemy with a massive cavalry charge into the rear when they’re in hand to hand infantry combat.

Save the children and Doctors without borders have a CEO as a counter example

CEO is basically the executive authority of a company. The board decides whether the priority is to make as much money as possible or not.

Why though? Most non profits have a CEO, the power the CEO has can differ a lot, just like presidents globally.

This is why RTS shouldn’t focus on the PvP portion of the game. A good campaign and arcade is what Blizzard did and it worked. The greatest thing Blizzard ever ever did was to add in the custom map creator which was fully featured.

Fucking love Enter the Gungeon. My favorite rougelike/roguelite
