narc0tic_bird, to games in Asus: Meet the new ROG AllyX, Improved ergonomics, Double the battery, Larger 1TB M.2 2280 storage, Faster 24GB LPDDR5X RAM, US$799

Now if it wasn’t ASUS making and selling the device…

Kingofthezyx,

If only it wasn’t running Windows 11

JackGreenEarth,

The OS is going to be customisable, though

I feel like GN really went for the throat releasing their hit piece right as asus was launching another one of these. Hopefully it gets hit with some shit sales and encourages asus to pull it’s head out of it’s ass.

DmMacniel, to games in Tom Henderson: Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. I don't have the exact numbers yet, but no one in the know is disappointed with them.

Pre ordering a digital game just to eventually play it earlier? Okay if you have really hard confidence in the product and team

Pre ordering a fucking UBIOlSOFT game? Fucking gamers are fucking terrible.

RagingInside, to games in Helldivers CEO steps down as CEO and moves into Chief Creative Officer role.

Pretty cool. Nice to see someone so passionate about their studio that they stepped down to be in a more creative role.

Hmm. 🤔 I have to question the legitimacy of this screenshot. I just connected my vpn to Sri Lanka, which bans the PlayStation Network, and I got an oops page. Switch back to the US, and refresh, and the page displayed again as normal. Also, the price is $59.99, not $10, and it states clearly you need the base game to use the DLC.

fubarx, to technology in The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple Headphones

That is actually kind of brilliant. Having to go through MFi and getting the Apple DRM chip into the manufacturing pipeline can be a real pain (and expensive).

With this scheme, they could also run all the wired on/off and volume control actions through Bluetooth AVRCP. Even have a Mic on the wire, so if a call comes in, switch to HFP to talk/manage the call.

Damn, that’s clever. Hats off to whoever came up with it.

Incidentally, there’s very little Apple can do to make this stop, unless they decide to break Bluetooth and third-party accessories.

Zeroxxx, to games in Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players

Console corp ‘learning’ about PC users. 🗿

BruceTwarzen,

Xbox users starring at full page ads on their console like 😐

EncryptKeeper,

That’s in reference to Sony only recently porting many of their published games to PC.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yet for some reason EA, Ubisoft, and others get away with forcing a login… We should riot each and every time anyone pulls something like this.

Cyberspark,

Well it was more that they sold the game in countries psn isn’t supported in, waited exactly 3 months (a common limit on sales laws) and then tried to screw all those people over.

jrgn, to games in For the first time in it's 17 year run, TF2's review status has been demoted to "Mixed".

CaptObvious, to games in Helldivers CEO steps down as CEO and moves into Chief Creative Officer role.

There’s something to be said for knowing when you’re in the wrong role and fixing it rather than doubling down.

AMillionNames, to games in “if you can obtain a copy of a court order...we’ll do our best to make it happen" Unlike Steam, Good Old Games claims they are willing to transfer accounts to entitled parties after a user's death

That’s either awesome or diplomatic. But a court order shouldn’t be needed, that implies going to court which isn’t necessary in some countries.

Draedron,

You always need some kind of proof of death. I assume a death certificate would be enough

ricecake,

A death certificate is very much not a court order. A death certificate is often available to anyone who wants to demonstrate that someone is dead.

It’d be like using mailing address as proof of identity. Someone’s mailing address is in some ways less public than their death certificate.

penquin, to games in Sony is selling God of War Ragnarok Deluxe Edition without the actual game in it in regions where PSN is blocked

So, they’re selling only DLCs?

themeatbridge,

It looks like just the soundtrack and artbook. No game.

penquin,

Wtf? Lmao. That’s a new fucking low to collect some pennies from people.

penquin,

I believe it. Lol

TachyonTele,

I don’t think it’s an example of fools buying it. It’s attempting a scummy bait and switch.

dohpaz42, (edited )
@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

How so? It tells you right there in the lower left corner what exactly you’re getting for your money.

I actually believe the screenshot is fake.

Also, is there a fediverse/lemmy way to link to comments?

TachyonTele,

Interesting, thank you.

For comments, yes. I have no idea how to do it offhand though, sorry.

kamiheku,

Or is it just the storefront displaying the bundle but omitting one of the items (the game itself) since it’s not available in the region?

ech,

I mean…is it? I don’t really get what to be upset about here. If it were really DLC sans game, then yeah, that’d be ridiculous, but if people want to buy these things, why not? And $10 for both seems like a decent price, tbh.

penquin,

What are you gonna do with a DLC without the game? I’d understand the soundtrack, but DLCs without a game?

ech,

I dunno. I just don’t see it as a big problem, I guess. Just because it has some useless stuff attached doesn’t mean it’s a scam or something, as long as the artbook and music is accessible and are considered worth the price.

Also, looking at the pack, the “dlc” is 4 whole cosmetics. If it’s considered a scam without those, then it should be considered a scam with them.

penquin,

I don’t think anyone said it was a scam.

zurohki,

Okay, but they’re still calling it GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK DELUXE EDITION.

RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) to games in Tom Henderson: Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are looking very strong. I don't have the exact numbers yet, but no one in the know is disappointed with them.

Did they expect zero preorders and got five?

EDIT: Actually, the fact that they have to even say this tells me this is massive damage control for investors. Ubis stock dropped like a rock in the EU market the second the market opened after the trailer dropped.

DaseinPickle, to games in Sony is selling God of War Ragnarok Deluxe Edition without the actual game in it in regions where PSN is blocked

Why are they insisting on this PSN madness? They make themselves look like complete idiots.

NosferatuZodd,

They REALLY want your data

Dudewitbow,

some people believe its to inflate active PSN users to show to investors

The_Hideous_Orgalorg, to games in All ROG ALLY devices will now have the 2-year warranty.

Asus support is next to worthless at this point anyway.

proceduralnightshade, to games in Riot will hardware ban toxic players on Valorant

Pls Rito don’t ban the toxic players, keep them in League and Valorant you’e like the SCP foundation or some shit. Don’t just release them inters back into the real world I BEG YOU RITO PLESAE

Grass, to games in God of War Ragnarok PC requires a PSN account.

I guess when the option becomes available I’ll pirate it because they clearly don’t want my money.
