  store costs to developers/publishers are insanely high for a digital distribution platform

  Isn't the 30% cut what basically everyone takes? AFAIK GOG, Ubisoft, EA and all three console manufacturers take the same share.

  Besides Epic only itch.io with their choose your share system and Discord (do they even still sell games?) take/took less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real quick question about the "break"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to add that you should consider that your teacher is teaching you fundamentals of programming. break and continue are often options to use, but you shouldn't try to solve everything with them. You are probably writing pretty basic functions in class right now where it doesn't really matter, but with more complex problems break and continue constructions might easily get pretty messy.

  Also your teacher has a plan what to teach you over the whole semester. If recursion is part of this plan it's valid she wants you to understand the basics of calling functions first. This might be overkill for easy problems but it could help you to be a better programmer in the future.

  I probably just got lucky because I beat him first try. Just a completely different experience.

  I actually like Automata's prologue :D

  Haven't played Death Stranding myself but at least

  I already did 3 fragile deliveries :D
  The biggest "problem" is that you cannot tell beforehand if a quest will be good or not. The lighthouse lady and the old man's dog quests had an amazing conclusion, so they were totally worth it, even though gameplay wise they were boring.

  I think you definitely feel that Automata is an improvement on the OG Nier (assuming that OG Nier and the remake aren't that different) in terms of quest design. That doesn't make Replicant bad though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nier Replicant ver. whatever

  Haven't played the original, only Automata, and damn this game has a lot of fetch quests. Pretty rewarding from time to time, but the gameplay of the side quests is ass. I hope I don't have to do much more fragile deliveries.

  the line is stating opinion as fact
  I totally understand what you mean and I usually don't like it either but I think this post is easily recognized as an highly subjective opinion. So I'm fine with the way it's written and wouldn't take it as a fact.
  review bombing
  This is definitely not what review bombing even means (yes, that's a fact).

  Isn't that exactly what lead us to the "every AAA game is an 8/10" meta of current videogame reviewing? I think it's totally valid to make subjective game reviews. Big outlets trying to make their reviews objectives is IMHO the reason why they are totally worthless (for me).
