- Comment on Microsoft Closes Redfall Developer Arkane Austin, Hi-Fi Rush Developer Tango Gameworks, and More in Devastating Cuts at Bethesda 1 day ago:
Yeah the studio put out nothing but nice games. Sure, Ghostwire in particular wasn’t stellar, but it was also enjoyable and pretty well done. Evil Within was dorky, but in just the right way. Hi-Fi was phenomenal, and that alone should have seen them physically behead every single higher manager at Bethesda before they tough anyone at Tango.
But alas, apparently if it ain’t Fallout: Ghostwire or Fallout: Hi-Fi, then it doesn’t matter. Manager bonuses ain’t going to pay themselves (hrm… come to think of it, they do?), line has to go up!

but Dishonored, Deathloop, and Prey all did pretty well I thought
I thought Arkane Austin (the closed one) was only Prey of those. Which is a shame, because Prey was utterly fantastic.

Because the indie space is also a graveyard. Investors are increasingly wary of funding anything but a “guarantee” and plenty of studios have had to shutter because the funding they were promised was rescinded.
Maybe gaming has become too bloated as a concept if no company can ever produce a product with their own money any more, instead always listening entirely to investor cash.

If you’re the Consort, that’s an important part of your endgame scoring! (Stationfall board game 😛)

- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 3 days ago:
Yeah same, bunch of my friends had been playing it for a week or two, but between the in game story, the season passes and the utterly intrusive DRM, I figured I’ll wait for a good sale at least. Well, guess I’ll be saving 100% on this, now!
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 3 days ago:
I dunno, I don’t think the game would benefit from flat combat and meanigless crafting grinds.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 3 days ago:
I think the mistake was ever thinking that one company is “good” while the other is “bad”. Companies are just different flavors of bad once they grow above a size of, well, once they are companies.

And actual pocket TVs. Interesting to see OP think they were never a thing. Don’t get me wrong, they were shit, but they did exist!

- Comment on Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking 1 week ago:
It’s pretty late in its life, could be that anyone who would be a potential sale got one at this point? I remember that being, at the time, the reason for the sharp decline in Ocarina of Time sales in Japan, they effectively sold one to everyone who has an N64 so they “maxed out”.
- Comment on Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release 1 week ago:
Yeah plus from a consumer perspective it’s nothing special.
It’s just a buggy release, only the bugginess and unfinishedness is known and openly announced. Which makes it more earnest, of course. On the other hand just like with any other release you have 0 guarantee or influence over whether missing features get added in the future and/or bugs get fixed. If the content is worth the money asked it’s a buy, if not it’s a wait.
- Comment on Star Wars Outlaws Requires The Internet To Install It 1 week ago:
You’re new to Ubisoft, right? Ubisoft needs online on installation cm because their shit is so buggy that not even the installer could make it all the way without a crash if not for day 1 patches. No need for DRM if the game doesn’t work!
- Comment on Been playing FF7 Rebirth (35 hours in) and really not enjoying it. Does anyone else feel this way? 1 week ago:
Yeah exactly, the middle was always pretty empty and aimless.

- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 1 week ago:
Well yeah it is. It’s also heavy on the mtx, non-pushy as they stay (for now). Compared to something like DRG I really don’t feel the appeal, apart from maybe having overplayed DRG at this point.
- Comment on Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release 1 week ago:
unfinished release
I feel “early access” has this implication that it’s not just a product that is unfinished being sold for money with a pinky promise that it’ll get better in the future. It’s better than a normal release that ends up being unfinished, but only by being somewhat open about it.
That being said, game looks fantastic. If they keep at this, could become something really really cool in the future.

- Comment on What if the only reason countries, like the U.S., agree to arm other countries when they are in conflict, is because international billionaires have placed bets on which countries will win. 1 week ago:
I mean sure, but also we should simplify this and bring androids like this one in for this purpose:
- Comment on Roguelite atrategy 2 weeks ago:
My favorite one, even though it is a bit different of course, is Against The Storm, a roguelike city builder that essentially removes all the later stages and makes you re-live the first 20-60 minutes of a fresh - and highly randomized - map again and again.
To me it removes all the tedium I always get from city builders. It’s tense, and somewhat depressing in its setting, but also very pretty and super fun.

I don’t get it. By that account, what would everyone… “pooling their resources” do? Nothing, correct.

Ouff. I guess marketing earned their bonuses, sure.
- Comment on The need for a Fedi Union. 2 weeks ago:
With large instances there comes the responsibility of moderation
Sure, so long as it comes with the responsibility of the users to pay, they get to have a say in moderation.
Otherwise, they get to vote with their browser: Use the site if they like it, do not use it if they don’t. And the same for the software. Don’t like Mastodon, use another microblogging software.
This is the key underlying idea behind the federation of activitypub. Do not undermine it. This is not Reddit, or Twitter, or whatever. This is not a central place, it does not need central evolution, vote by abandonment.
(and I’m not saying I agree with Mastodon’s dev, seeing how I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about microblogging in general, but again, it’s his instance, everyone is free to use whatever they agree with)
- Comment on The need for a Fedi Union. 2 weeks ago:
But it’s his instance. The whole point is that you run your own if you want a different approach to administration.
- Comment on The need for a Fedi Union. 2 weeks ago:
Or they might just be quite into the open and federated concept, above all else.
It’s not your instance, so what do you care? Again, half the point is that you can run your instance however you want, and talk to whoever you want or do not want. Federated. Mastodon or Lemmy aren’t distributed systems, they’re federated systems.
