Are you a professional contrarian? What are you doing?

I won’t give them another Cent myself for numerous reasons, but I was just mocking your grandiose declaration.

They’ll never financially recover from losing you as their customer.

This man is his own worst enemy. He’s one of those CEOs that used to have street cred (being of the core minds behind Unreal and the Unreal engine - in the trenches, not just as a “businessman”), but lost touch many years ago and is doing everything he can to ruin his reputation.

Instead of enjoying his fame and Unreal/Fortnite fortune, he’s just endlessly whining and bickering. Despite having won the game engine wars against everyone, I don’t think he’ll ever get over the fact that Valve under Gabe Newell’s leadership not only came up with a better and more successful first person shooter franchise, but also a better and more successful digital distribution platform.

Killer of studios, devourer of devs.

Based on one comment, it looks like you are an immature person.

This reminds me:

Back in 2003, there was a demo version of the game Chicago 1930 (from Spellbound, better known for much better games like Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood and the Desperados series). Its uninstaller not only deleted the files belonging to this demo, but also the content of the entire Program Files directory, which I noticed way too late in the process.

This might be due to Nintendo taking their sweet time certifying new builds.

Other developers hold back PC versions of their games until every console manufacturer has approved updates, but Hello Games is apparently not willing to do this.

That’s usually how it goes: You sneak around until you find a position from where you can effectively snipe. Stealth plays a huge role in these titles.

They even invited the creators of this mod after the release of the official Oblivion remaster:

Both of you didn’t read the article. This was a commercial mod, intended to be hidden behind a subscription. I do not think Sony did anything wrong by going after this grifter.

They appear to have a build. In one of the videos, they are shooting at a wall, spelling out “LEEK”.

Union busting, awful work conditions, crunch, the lot.

Pirate the game, support modders. It’s not hard.

You Are Empty is objectively an awful game: It’s unfair, with extremely poor level design (1990s key and lever hunt - in 2006), laughable animations and sound effects, extremely derivative and awful enemy design (starting right off with the sexy horror nurse to immediately destroy any even moderate expectations), some of the weakest guns in FPS history, broken hit boxes, a terrible and confusingly narrated story, tons of glitches and a very short length, artificially padded by making the player limp along at a snail’s pace.

It does however just ooze Soviet atmosphere and decay. The game’s architecture (NOT the level design) is magnificent, ridiculously immersive at times, especially outside. This is genuinely amazing. There is clear ambition here and it’s the one aspect of this game that actually works. If you are interested in this aspect alone, then it can be worth picking up and at least experiencing for a few minutes, just to breathe in the stale Soviet air. Don’t expect to have any fun beyond that though. It is not even one of those “so terrible, it’s funny” types of games.

It doesn’t really matter. It’s an oligopol and they can set the prices however they want. There’s no alternative, since everyone - businesses and consumers alike - needs their product.

China can’t and won’t be able to compete, since they are far too much behind in manufacturing, chasing a moving target.

I’m not the same user, but I’m still interested in your list.
