  I can live with timed exclusives if it leads to good games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just Gen Z lol. People don’t have money, games are a luxury, luxuries are the first to go when you need to stretch your cash. Not that complicated.

  Their wealth means nothing to them if they can’t use it as influence. It’s all they truly care about.

  That influence will end with their heads rolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death Stranding 2's stunning new statue somehow makes Sam look even more realisitic than he does in the game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just me or is it a bit disingenuous to call a 1/6 scale action figure a statue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 370 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I slept on the dead rising series until the remake came out. Then I picked up the original, 2, and off the record.

  All of them are fantastic games and it’s such a shame they killed the whole series with the 3rd game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft: Microtransactions make games more fun⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Milk the smaller and smaller base for more and more.

  Sounds like Cable TV.

  That’s a pretty big jump in a very short amount of time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Psychonauts. I’m upset I slept on this game for so long. It’s very charming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Donated” plasma today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right. But the payment card is definitely dystopian and designed to maximize fees from the users for every aspect. It should be required by law that these businesses give alternative options for receiving payments, or remove any sort of fees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because a good lawyer looks for any sort of far reaching authority they can legally get away with, and will continues to push boundaries as legally far as they can until they get challenged. All in the name of protecting themselves from liability.

  I don’t like it, but I get it. And these things can fall apart when challenged in court or public opinion.

  Makes me think of the guy who died from an allergy at Disney land and Disney tried to say he couldn’t sue because of his Disney plus agreement.

  Lawyers put in all kinds of legal clauses specifically to try and avoid any and all liability on anything imaginable or unimaginable. Most times it’s beyond what anyone would call reasonable. But we aren’t dealing with reasonable people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I believe that’s what this is. I’ve seen clauses like this in other stuff too. Pretty boiler plate. Not like they can actually enforce it.

  Yes, to read enemy attacks. That’s why I want a zoomed in camera too. No other reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Summer Games Fest begins in 15 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s a show, not a convention. Expect Geoff on stage introducing trailer after trailer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Panther Was Cancelled Because It Wasn't Far Enough Along In Development⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all good. If they actually finished the game. EA would have fired them anyways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨https://www.404media.co/chicago-sun-times-prints-ai-generated-summer-reading-list-with-books-that-dont-exist/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they aren’t even reviewing the AI slop they generate? I’m shocked! Ok not that shocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.

  I hope he rots in piss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s too busy collecting child porn to bother with running his business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only buying games actually supported devs anymore. Devs seem to get fired for any reason nowadays.

  Bad game? Fired. Good game? Also fired. Popular game that people loved? Believe it or not, also fired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well cool, now I know not to pick up the game yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you really want me to pay $100 for a game, you gotta raise the bar to the fuckin stratosphere compared to what we’re getting now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With how chatGPT has been glazing people lately, this isn’t at all shocking, and it’ll probably get significantly worse because we’re not even attempting to regulate anything. ChatGPT just wants to maximize usage of it’s app, and if it needs to tell you you’re a Messiah to do that, it will tell it to you repeatedly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So to all those other publishers who have already pushed their games release date out to avoid GTA6, you got a new date to avoid.

  If Square decides to do another FF remake, they’ll either skip over 8 and do 9 instead, or they’ll go back and do 6.
