I mean, I don’t think they’re any slower to release new games than anyone else. I also don’t think the next Spider-Man or whatever is going to come out any slower because of ports either, since I think a different studio handles most of the porting work, I don’t know about remasters, though. Like this year, they’re releasing 5 new games, and they usually release at least 3 a year. Could they release more? Maybe, but games take longer to make than ever before.
It matters for most, and if it doesn’t matter, then you would probably just buy it regardless. It’s always additional content, and probably worth it to you if its cost might as well be 0.
I don’t understand the thoughts of Sony executives, but I guess I’m just not exec material. This will only lead to a decrease in sales, probably a substantial amount, both from people being literally unable to play it, and also from people now refusing to buy it. So what, pray tell, is the advantage to it? Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?
Yeah, I sure as shit wouldn’t use the internet if it wasn’t anonymous, seems like a weird thing to want when people are more concerned for their privacy then ever before.
Cool. Hope it has mod support unlike Forza, or at least doesn’t prohibit it. VR would be nice as well since the only options for racers in VR are sims, or F1.
I’m fine with games coming out ‘more frequently’, so long as it’s because they have the same development time but are staggered. Like Witcher coming out mid development of Cyberpunk, meaning the next Cyberpunk will come out mid development of the next Witcher, etc.
Valve don’t usually do “easy cash grabs” though, and while I seriously doubt it’ll be able to meet the insane expectations people have for it, I doubt it’ll be shit.
Steam basically IS PC gaming, and probably has more active users than Xbox or Playstation, maybe even combined. There’s no way it’s worth any less than Activison Blizzard
It might make Valve unlikely to make another game and a lot of people, including myself, would be hugely disappointed but I don’t think it would have any major negative effects beyond those two.
I didn’t even know seedless watermelons were a thing, so it saddens me to discover that they are, and that they’re bad, since the main reason I don’t like watermelons is having to deal with the seeds.
The more competition Sims has, the better. Maybe EA will actually try and innovate… HAHA. I’ve been keeping an eye on Paralives and Life By You, and there are a couple others coming as well, I think. It’ll be a good time to be a life sim fan in the next couple years.
As others have said, you don’t need to play the old ones, and I doubt Sony will bring them to PC, so your best bet is probably emulation if you really wanna play them.
I’ve heard some people say it’s a decent game but I’m not sure if I could bring myself to play it since it seems to have almost satirical levels of sexualization, which I find kinda off-putting.
