  I believe that’s to get the assets (i.e. the textures, character models, etc) which are still covered by copyright and so can’t be included in the decomp projects

  I’ve seen them way cheaper in Britain, guess I must have been looking at the right time

  You could probably buy a 360 or ps3 and a copy of the game for that price!

  I think if you click on anyone’s profile in the Lemmy web UI (or any community) then you can click a little RSS button to get this link, not sure if it can distinguish between posts and comments though

  Seems like they’ve finally taken some notes from the Steam Deck, interested to see if they can actually make something decent. It seems unlikely, but I’m still interested!

  Was there an original uk one? This one is the only one I’m aware of, it had a moment of doubt a year back but we got new admins before we needed to move.

  Assuming this article is talking about the USA? This doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that would fly anywhere with half-decent consumer protection laws.

  You can still (for the moment) be patient with Nintendo games if you’re OK buying second hand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: My Q&A with Gardiner Bryant⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I clicked on this because I’ve enjoyed your previous articles, despite not having heard of Gardiner before. Maybe it’s just the kind interests we Lemmy users have, but he’s ticking every box for the kind of thing I like to read!

  The best time to buy a console is just after its sequel is released, lots of people upgrading and selling their old one with all the games and controllers

  Absolutely loved Jazz Jackrabbit (2 specifically), but what the fuck were they thinking calling a character “Spaz”? Apparently the connotations are different in America, but over here that’s a more offensive version of the word “retard”!

  That’s a sensible way to buy all video games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to blow my own trumpet, but I was able to memorise basic type relationships as a small child!

  That is a summing-up of the criticism that I’ve seen a few times though: they refuse to accept that their players grow up and only ever aim the games at youngsters, difficulty-wise.

  The bait points to this:

  I believe part of the answer lies in a fundamental aspect of our humanity: the urge to destroy that from which you feel excluded.

  They gave the Heroic Launcher devs an affiliate link, so while they don’t really support Linux they at least approve of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember that being the “feature” which really highlighted the dumbing-down of the game. Work things out for yourself? Look them up? Remember what you’ve learned? No, we’ve solved the puzzle for you, don’t worry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All of this month's 'free' games with Prime Gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As with all offers like this Amazon are hoping that it causes people who weren’t subscribed before to stat paying them regularly, and posts like this are kind of giving them free advertising.

  It’s similar to recommending something like reward credit cards (where you can make money off them as long as you pay them off in full and never pay any interest), if you’re sensible enough with your money then you can get a freebie but the provider is looking to profit off you messing up or forgetting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polygon Has Been Sold With Mass Layoffs Hitting The Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that how most businesses work? If a small company gets successful enough to be big but not so successful that they become the market leader then a big company buys them for their customer base.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All of this month's 'free' games with Prime Gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As I post whenever someone complains about them not being free in !freegames@feddit.uk: you can sign up for a free trial of prime, claim the thirty or so games currently available, cancel, and keep all the games forever without having to give a penny to Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anyone’s claiming it’s difficult, it’s just more of a risk. If you’re the investor calling the shots with your big bag of money do you choose a new idea which might be great but people might not like, or to rehash an existing idea that already has fans who will buy more of the same? The decision is entirely financial.

  So…dev stumbles, fans harass, and the project is dead.

  Goodbye Winlator…for now?

  Ugh, another amazing one-person project killed by harassment. The internet makes it so trivial to bombard someone with hate-mail, and I doubt many of us have been through the “media training” necessary to deal with it. I only have the tiniest of projects going and if the people I thought I was making a nice thing for suddenly turned on me then I think I’d be saying “fuck it then” too.
