That’s a pretty unfeasible request. Sure, maybe big resalers might keep something like that, but the average consumer? I keep my receipts for maybe a year on big purchases unless there’s something like a warranty I need it for. And I get the feeling that’s already more than most folks would do.
If you are insisting on a first purchase receipt before buying something used, you are essentially saying you’ll almost never buy something used. The odds someone would even still have it, let alone go through the hassle of providing it to you, are extremely low. Why would they do that when they could just sell to a less difficult customer who doesn’t care?
I see literally zero problems here. Did they have a contract with an artist? They didn’t? Well then it sounds like they have no obligation to use a real artist.
AI art is here to stay, and companies will be using it heavily. It’s ignorant to think they would choose otherwise. Why pay an artist to make an image you may not even like over the course of a few days when you could get hundreds of images to choose from in a few seconds using AI? It’s 1000 times easier and more convenient.
Comments like this always makes me wonder, was this just a simple misclick, or are there just a chunk of users who are too technologically inept to figure out how to reply to comments?
apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...
The difference here is you were having arguments with someone during development. It’s easy to look at a successful final product and say “that guy had no clue what he was talking about about!”
Bethesda is saying the same thing about their fans, but for a final product that’s not very good. It’s one thing to dismiss criticism during your process, but to dismiss criticism after you present your results is basically saying you are never open to it.
While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.
The best year in gaming was 2001. Nothing else even comes close.
Halo
Super Smash Bros Melee
Devil May Cry
Jak and Daxter
GTA 3
Metal Gear 2
Max Payne
Advance Wars
Animal Crossing
Final Fantasy X
Silent Hill 2
Conkers Bad Fur Day
I could keep going. It’s literally not even a competition. Some of the biggest game series ever got their start that year. Sequels released that year are arguably some of the strongest ones in the series.
2023 was a great year for games, but it’s nothing compared to impact 2001 had.
