Did you not read the title at least? How does firing all these people indicate they know what theyre doing?


What should happen is not always what does happen. There are tons of examples of brain dead companies and rich people buying companies they dont understand and then ruining them because of that.




Mojang is owned by Microsoft. Both versions of the game are developed by Mojang which is beholden to what Microsoft’s goals for the game are.


The hookers and crack won’t pay for themselves



And then they pissed off their entire userbase with the PSN requirement. Incidentally AFAIK you still can’t buy the game in countries that don’t have PSN accounts available. So the fuckery probably isn’t over.


If enough people believe that it is, they’re not going to be as likely to fight things that they should be.


Saying nothing at all is better than only being allowed to say good things and none of the bad. The former doesnt shift opinions in either direction but the latter introduces a pro-buying bias to reviews. Good for the publisher and no one else.


Op does have the power to post the exact same link that this person did.



Pirate sea shanty being sung in the background as pirates break the DRM and have a better experience than people that actually paid for the game


Just because the company you work for is making bank doesn’t mean they won’t fire you at the drop of a hat if they think they can make more by doing it.


0.03% is 3 in 10,000. Thats 300 per million not 30,000. So still not great but 2 orders of magnitude less terrible.


Looks like Nintendo and Sony are competing who can get away with being a bigger asshole. Boundary testing sociopaths. Game becomes popular, dev and publisher foist unpopular requirement to continue playing in order to see what the response is and if it doesnt tank numbers too much, they now have a green light to weasel this into other games. Hell even if it does tank numbers, they already have their money and you probably wont be able to get a refund at this point.



The people that said it wasn’t from nintendo never bothered checking who registered the domain. ICANN allows for searching for this information easily but it was even easier to just say “well it doesnt look legit to me” instead of actually checking. And yes that domain (mm-nintendo.com) is registered to Nintendo of America as you can verify here: https://lookup.icann.org/en


This is not true. Look up mm-nintendo.com on icann yourself to see who registered it.

https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

TLDR: Nintendo is the troll here.



They got it from a twitter post that never bothered looking up who owns the domain. The domain is owned by Nintendo of America Inc not some internet troll.

https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

Search for mm-nintendo.com


Do not blindly believe twitter posts.

https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

Search for mm-nintendo.com

Registered to Nintendo of America Inc.

This IS an official nintendo domain.



Or the devs could have fixed the bug and not expect the player to work around it.


Every time this happens I am reminded of old antipiracy arguments. i.e buy dont pirate. Then it was “you dont own it, you license it” and now that license isnt yours either. They can just take it away whenever they want and get your money too. If the tables were turned and you could just take 100% of your money back at any point in the future but still keep a game, theyd lose their shit but its fine as long as it is the gamer that loses.


If what theyve already done didnt do it, this wont.


Yes because they never ruled out depression and you did. Fuck off. Long covid is not depression. Depression doesnt cause you to lose your sense of taste and smell. It doesnt damage your blood vessels to the point where you exhibit symptoms of neuropathy and lack of blood flow.


You should try actually reading the article. And so should the rest of you. This is not depression.


What risk? FIFA, MADDEN etc get sequel after sequel, the only real risk is them trying to make shitty live service games to make a quick buck then inevitably giving up on it after it predictably fails.




There is no group of people that cant be othered. Women, minorities, LGBT, people that differ in religious/areligious beliefs, physical characteristics like weight, mental disorders and neurodiversity, poverty/lower income, the list goes on



Fighting games started in coin operated arcade cabinets that were intentionally designed to be such a pain in the ass to beat that people would dump heaps of money into them just to keep playing. Same deal with games that were released in the days that youd rent them for a week. The difficulty was set so high that it was very unlikely that you could beat the game in that week so you would end up renting them another week or two.

The gaming industry has been filled with greedy fuck policies from the beginning and the only thing that has changed is how they are greedy fucks.



Loot boxes (for real money directly or indirectly) arent video games and those absolutely fucking should be banned.



If what you say is true, best case scenario, that suggests DICE has no idea who has the necessary expertise which is bad in its own right. Like… if someone paid 60 people to help design something/offer their two cents and then turns around and ignores every single one of them with the rationale that they dont have the expertise needed, that person’s judgement is still shit because by their own standards theyre terrible at recognizing who actually has the necessary skill set.


It is shocking how many people there are in this thread that try to downplay this. And the sad thing is, most if not all of them arent getting paid a dime to shill.
