Cyberpunk was shit at launch and they had to sell it at a loss. But now engagement is at an all time high due to Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update that essentially had “finished” the game.
Don’t expect steep discounts on it anymore…at least not for a very long while…that window has closed.
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days.

It's common practice for PC games today to launch with Denuvo, a form of DRM designed to stop the spread of pirated copies of games, and it's also common practice for developers to remove Denuvo several months after launch as interest (and the risk of piracy) dwindles. Less common is a developer publicly announcing it's removing...
Just when I was giving Bungie credit for taking Destiny 2 armor out of Eververse this season and making it an earned, in-game reward, we now have a situation I’d describe as pretty baffling.
Exactly. This defeatist “iTz jeust opshunal” and “shaming them is a waste of time” response is asking to get fucked over more
Remember Battlefront II when the community got fed up and shamed EA into removing loot boxes?
How about RuneScape recently? Who was slammed so hard they first dug in their heels and then finally relented and pulled their pay to win battle pass?
Also those developers and publishers bitching at Unity need to be quiet because….”capitalism has been complained about enough”
Yes, in all these situations, we consoomers should all just shut up and take it because “it’s been talked about enough already”
This attitude is why Madden players get what they get every year
Keep that attitude up and you’ll see Bungie release an “upgraded” $30 battle pass on top of the current one and take all the cool and useful rewards out of the first paid track just like what Activision did with “Blackcell” for Call of Duty.
Effective January 1, 2024, we will introduce a new Unity Runtime Fee that’s based on game installs. We will also add cloud-based asset storage, Unity DevOps tools, and AI at runtime at no extra cost to Unity subscription plans this November....
Certainly not a hardcore console. Casual Apple Arcade games (current Apple TV majority demographic) and AAA 1 for 1 ports focusing on graphical fidelity are two different markets. The fact that the iOS version of Assassins Creed Mirage is releasing the same day as the console and PC versions makes me think that Apple is looking to potentially throw their hat into the console market (again) and possibly be a competitor for the Big 3…and mobile is the perfect basic platform to check consumer interest with AAA games on iOS before going to the TV / living room.
Although in order for them to penetrate this cemented market it’s inevitable that Apple is going to try (likely timed) exclusive deals with publishers. They already do this for Arcade.
You gotta be quick. The “unlock” website will be going down eventually meaning that if you didn’t “unlock” it before the website goes down, you’re stuck with a paperweight
Man, in 2023, it's really hard to get heard through all of the macho "git gud" guff but as a fan of Armored Core since its inception: this game is not what I was expecting. I am disappointed....
