This has been disproven and was called out at the time of the increase. Games cost less to develop now than ever. Microtransactions and recurrent subscription transaction1s like battlepasses mean a shit game gets to live longer than it would deserve. People have careers in the field and languages common to the industry - this isn’t a “new and groundbreaking” industry - its one of the largest on the planet.

Studios are absolutely not passing any of that $10 to lower level staff. It was to see if the market would bear it, and no other reason - and corporate defenders came out of the woodwork to pretend BILLION dollar corporations need more money. If videogames were too expensive to make, they’d not be spending so much, now would they?

TAHITI!

I like it. Sounds like “broke down”.

What does this even mean, I can’t “follow” users on Jerboa. Is this some shit zuck added to his specific Threads then wanks about how he has all the followers?

Shitposts mocking the event are how I found out about the Ever Given and the sinking of Moskva.

Memes do not suffer the same bias as news sources. (Different problems easily remedied)

This is after they put DRM in games, by patch, years after some of their launches. They did a little more than ‘not meet expectations’ in more than one way

Won’t someone think of the poor billionaires!

Agreed. If a game like zelda totk can run on the switch there’s plenty of life left and we don’t need a switch 2.

I love how the source meme is probably the first high quality tier 4 meme in a long time. So much goes into understanding it.

spoilerFor those that havent seen the term, Tiered memes require knowledge of an earlier meme, the higher the tier the more memes go into it. In this case 1.scrat from ice age 2.the American police being trained to be afraid of everything 3.taylor Swifts jet 4.the actual event of the shooting In this meme though we’re referencing the Become Ungovernable, instead of Taylor swifts jet.

I love the internet meme makers. Long live the OC

Exusia, 4 months ago

We swapped the Taylor swift for Become Ungovernable, the original meme (linked in OP) has the nut falling from her jet

I’d like to see some kind of chart that compares Republican lawmakers who have voted against women/trans/gay rights, and subsequently been caught in controversy around sex with that specific group (anti-gay gets caught with a guy) VERSUS how many registered Democrat lawmakers in the same scenario.(anti-gay legislation, caught with dude type deal)

But how else will a soccer mom driving her 2 precious children in nothing less than an 8 seater see where she’s going in a well lit city??

She NEEDED that upgraded suspension and if her headlamps don’t compete with Star Destroyer turbolasers she won’t be able to go anywhere!

I’m in favor of this as the replacement format

No, but a popular internet theory has his name meaning “spotted one” and whether or not it’s actually entomologically true, is always a fun thought. To think a god of the underworld played fetch with spot, the goodest multi-headed boi

You’re right lol

It makes total sense. Both companies existing in a pseudo-merger makes a lot of advantage sense. Disney gets to keep its image clean of the anti-consumer practices of epic these past few years, while epic sharks its way around Steam and corners small devs, bullying them into exclusivity. (Were they bought out, “Disney subsidiary” might be a dirty word)

Epic gets to make games-as-services with ever more integration, with fortnite, league, and car soccer. This begins also the availability of Disney exclusive GAAS, but also with tie ins to epic titles.

In return Disney gets, for no effort, access to the market American companies can not tread - China. Tencent comes with Chinese party seal of approval built in. Marketing into the country nets Disney the market saturation and brand recognition they’ve been wanting in a new audience, and all they’d have to do is have epic make a game and sell it with their IP. Disney doesn’t have to ask the cccp for marketing permission because it’s a Chinese company product trying to make Chinese people sales.

The whole thing is so…dystopia that it just fits so well with the Disney that Walt built, and expanded as a cutthroat businessman.

I think I killed everyone at the camp, but I messed up the Dishonored style you got up to, and instead butchered my way through them. Who are the 3 bosses so I know I got em all? There’s the barbarian guy, and the M lady who leads them (kinda of an oops here I go killing again moment) who’s the third?

Exusia, 5 months ago

Oh yeah. She was the first one. I’m a half elf or something that’s immune to sleep and she attacked so I said fuck it we ball.

Exusia, 5 months ago

Yeah I think it was a Nature check. She assures you it’s a sedative to be under surgery, and then throws you in prison and says you’re not a True One. (Because a true one would embrace the worm not ask for it to be removed)

“Gaming journalism” did its best to not mention it every time something with kotick came up. Blizzard would release shit about games as a smokescreen. A scandal where Kotick groped a guy in front of an elevator? NEW OVERWATCH 2 DETAILS ANNOUNCED!

His shit is well documented.

Exusia, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Just a shout out to Stephanie Sterling for covering Koticks fuckery since the beginning (on youtube) And Jason Schrier for publishing it (kotaku, now bloomberg, and freelance), even as it has fallen on deaf ears for the better part of a decade. Activision Blizzard has been rife with frat boy culture that kotick promotes would have been a bloody nose on the new face Microsoft wants to put on the company.

4 years ago - Harassment

4 years ago- that hong kong scandal

2 years ago - blizzcon glossing over their hong kong bullshit

1 year ago - Diablo immortal being a literal scam

1 year ago - Activisions Diversity Tool to meet quotas

Oh here we go again with the jump packs and laser guns! Full circle boys!

Coming next November 8th and only 350gb!

It may not be the work he wanted, but it was a positive direction. I know nothing about his other works, but new-kratos is a much expanded character and successful continuation on the original work. Not a hamfisted cash-in like so many sequelizations do.

And pc always last because they can only sell it to them once and they’ll have it until steam/epic dies.

Something something respect the creators vision when I agree with it?

You can generate anything in-engine, it’s not representative of gameplay. Everyone does it and it’s equally shitty. It looks like a minute and a half of cutscenes and, other than character reveals it looks like a normal release. It just looks like smoothed out gta5, so like…gta5 on pc. The achievement wouldn’t be the graphics, it would be “can it maintain the graphics steadily and not drop frames”

Timeline is irrelevant, agreed. it will come out when it comes out.

Exusia, 6 months ago

It all looks great. That’s kinda the expectation tbh. It does look good, but all games “look good” at this stage. This gives rise to the other question about can it look good and be stable, even on lower end hardware (ps4/x1 and mid/low pcs) for release.

But a video is a video. I realize it’s so early and am not knocking it for lacking gameplay footage, just that generating a video in-engine is not representative of gameplay, or gameplay elements.
