- Comment on EA expect their $55 billion sale to Saudi Arabia and private equity firms to close next week, with "all regulatory approvals required" in place 2 days ago:
Last I read the “deal” is saddling EA with $20 billion in debt, so here’s hoping.
But also, leveraged buyouts are fucking disgusting and should be illegal.
- Comment on Rideshare "Stimulator" is an Uber driver sim set in a city full of weirdos that I'm hoping is satirical enough to pull the concept off 2 days ago:
Crazy Taxi is also the reason there aren’t more games like this. Sega patented the gameplay and UI and later sued Fox and EA over The Simpsons: Road Rage’s similarities. Fear of Sega’s legal team killed the genre until the patent expired.

Edwin?

Edwin.
I miss the old RPS.
- Comment on Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'" 2 weeks ago:
“Shut it down now!”
“It’s not- it’s not shutting down!”

- Comment on Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's standard edition is "is the full, complete experience", Ubisoft insist in response to Steam DLC furore 3 weeks ago:
“Yes, we put out $85 in DLC on day one, but don’t worry. It’s all unnecessary crap!”
What excellent marketing.
- Comment on Vampirium: 1997 is a mysterious looking choice-filled minimalist immersive sim 3 weeks ago:
Thanks! I’d like to pretend there’s a clever story behind it, but I came up with it by randomly adding and swapping syllables around Quetzalcoatl until I accidentally stumbled upon something decent.
- Comment on Vampirium: 1997 is a mysterious looking choice-filled minimalist immersive sim 3 weeks ago:
“Minimalist” isn’t a word I’d normally associate with “immersive sim” (which are all about emergent complexity from the interactions between systems), but in this case it seems to be called minimalist because it’s basically a text game with a GUI bolted on top.
It looks great and it could be fun, but I don’t see how you could possibly do anything not explicitly programmed in by the devs in such a system. I personally wouldn’t describe it as an immersive sim to avoid getting players’ hopes up.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is getting a "Story Expansion Pass" amid a heap of DLC to help it wrap up the remake trilogy, leaked store listings suggest 4 weeks ago:
Don’t forget the Yuffie expansion for the first game that they made early adopters pay for (though it’s now bundled with the game).
- Comment on Dinosaurs have arrived in the latest Dwarf Fortress update 4 weeks ago:
I give it a week tops before a player drops an entire mountain on one.

Vordt, is that you?
- Comment on Fuck Johnson for hamstringing Reconstruction 1 month ago:
Fuck the Daughters of the Confederacy too while we’re at it.
- Comment on There were more US presidents named James than any other name 1 month ago:
Considering what the J in JD Vance stands for, I’m fine with s moratorium on James for a while.

Court cases in a world with illusion magic must be wild.
- Comment on Oh god... what have I become... 4 months ago:
You speak the truth. I gave a Deatchclaw 6 .38 rounds and it just seemed angrier.
I guess I needed a gift of higher caliber.

But it you didn’t go into that random building, you wouldn’t have found that chest with a single lockpick inside (that took three to open).
- Comment on Oh god... what have I become... 4 months ago:
The evil twin was running a complicated scheme of identity theft and character assassination. You killing them before they could destroy the good twin’s reputation makes you even more of a hero!

Okay, Rimworlder.
