It’s just a good business practice from them. You are not that clever friend. Your sarcasm and cynicism aren’t real arguments, and your extremism doesn’t help anyone.
Only an ignorant confuses a missing comma for illiteracy. You’re missing an apostrophe btw, and it’s “sorry that you weren’t”. Again, you said nothing there. Sorry that you’re not understanding, but i said it because you didn’t say anything relevant to the point, just like right now. But yeah, you’re not that clever friend either way. You certainly are trying though.
Oh Sweeney having a tantrum, when hasn’t that happened monthly since like 10 years ago? Sweeney if you want more money than what you’re already making, then fucking make better products man. Fucking asshole trying to win the game by crying to daddy government and having fits. It would be one thing if he was a small guy being treated unfairly, but this dude is in the elite as well, his company is a big name in the game, but he cries as if he was small potatoes being treated unfairly by big corpos. Fuck off, corpo trash trying to pass as a small boy. If there’s a thing more annoying than a corporation being an asshole is an asshole corporation trying to pass as a victim.
No, but if you continue on that path you’re certainly gonna die somewhat illiterate. Hey, but if you don’t care no one does either. Keep being you brother.
Yeah I pirated it, played it for 5 hours. I didn’t and don’t have any intention of buying a nintendo game ever, even if I couldn’t pirate it. They are almost never worth the asking price. Most have the quality of a 40 usd steam indie game, some even of a 20 usd one. I know that this doesn’t have anything to do with the creative departments, but nintendo can go fuck itself. Also, a friend of mine whose a fan of Nintendo pirated it even before it came out, but he played it in the switch lol.
Come on anon even the actors of Bella and Edward roasted the movies lol. The book was pretty mid. I could only force myself to read like 60 or 70 pages when it was popular as fuck, and I Ioved the Harry Potter books and the Hunger Games books. One good thing is that i’m pretty sure it introduced a lot of kids to books, even if only ya books. I have a friend that only reads ya novels. It’s not the most rewarding genre, or the most inspiring or jaw dropping, but it’s certainly miles better than being a fan of the Kardashians or some shit like that.
Arkane lost a lot core members because of problems with the last game, so yes for them. Rocksteady lost their two founders because of Suicide Squad. They just dipped in the middle if production. Pretty clear that they didn’t like the direction WB was taking the game. Rocksteady was developing this for 7 years. They need this to work. So I kind of would say yea, they are probably done. Bioware, they are gone since a long time ago my friend, even before the last mass effect. Naughty Dog is fine i think, but that’s because sony noticed that everyone was failing at doing live service shit and had the sense to pull the plugs before it all went to shit.
Arkane might continue as in name, but just as a puppet. Once a videogame company loses its core members or founders, it’s the start of the end. Rocksteady is the same. They lost their founders and they are banking a lot in their game. Current BioWare doesn’t have a single drop of their original dna in it.
The good clearly are the free games and that some games go cheaper there, they have better sales sometimes. The bad is that the store is badly optimized. The UI is annoying, no cloud saves for a lot of games. As of recently there were no achievements or even a cart, but they have that now which is good. The friends tab is bare bones still. They have aggressive DRM. For some reason it’s a pain in the ass to log in, but that might be just on my end.
Now with GOG, you don’t have DRM, you can integrate all launchers so you can launch all the games from one, which for me, is pretty useful. GOG has great deals. The bad is that the ui as well is kind of bare bones, but i don’t know, they are not trying to take over the market and their store works very well.
As of steam i don’t need to say anything, everything is in there. If you play on linux you basically will get every game from steam. They have the most robust launcher with the most options, etc.
That said, personally I use the three of them. Gog primarily since i can launch everything from there and if i find a game in there, i’d rather get it from them. But i’ve found sales on epic too good to let go so i play those games there. For me it depends on what they’re offering, but for some reason i really dislike Epic’s layout and ui, i feel like it is very annoying and that it is missing a lot.
I frankly haven’t liked anything i’ve heard and seen these days about this game. Feels very unlike the first one. One of the things i loved about the first one’s dialogue is that you had every type of follow up you could reasonably think of when having a conversation, with each clan having their own style of logic and speech. With voiced protagonists i have never found that to be the case.
