We can just play the same game that we did 20 years ago. Even better so with emulation.

Take that remake stick out of your ass and make something original again you hacks.

Ubisoft confirms it’s milking another dead franchise in a pathetic attempt to win back consumers after releasing nothing but live service scams.

The IP rot industry continues.

If the film industry won’t learn that lesson, then the gaming industry certainly won’t.

IP rot will continue until it’s no longer profitable.

Stop pre ordering games and watching every milked franchise sequel.

Same old greedy corporate practices.

Their next game is going to be a live service scam.

If it takes Guerrilla’s head on the chopping block for greedy publishers to finally stop making these scam service games. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Ahhh so that’s what they mean with control. CCP control

It lacked gameplay in general. Leaned way too hard on the broken, shallow melee combat and was far too long and padded for the amount of gameplay it had.

They clearly wasted money on the actors and graphics instead of making a solid gameplay loop.

Good! More franchises should conclude. Give them a proper happy ending and move onto new stories. Instead of milking every last penny and wallowing in franchise rot.

Closest thing Sony has to a proper mascot, of course they are gonna milk it for all it’s worth.

Wanna save money? Cut the pay for executives!

It’s an immediate bump in profits and zero impact on the games quality.

Games as a service is a scam designed to milk players for every cent.

Was hoping the movie would have killed the franchise and force them to move on and make something original again instead of wallowing in IP rot.

So hope this backfires and everyone lays into these fuckers hard.

No surprise here.

Wish modders would learn that some publishers don’t want any content made for their intellectual property and it’s better to spend the time and effort to make your own original project instead.

You like cod? Cool! Make something inspired by it instead of something that will just get sued out of existence.

The cops should be called on Hollywood for IP abuse. 😂

Yay capitalism. Another company eating up everything it can.

You are being overly technical and misleading the point I was making. I keep forgetting how autistic Lemmy can be.

I’m making fun of the creative director from the article by lying and still raking in the upvotes from the people that didn’t look into it.

Like the people that will go into the game thinking it’s a souls game. The ones that will just click download without looking it up. Get it… 🙄

Also if you expect every interaction on the internet to be honest and above board than boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

I agonized over it but in the end decided the upvotes under the false pretence were acceptable. 😏

Active player counts on launch is a metric that is undoubtedly used to judge the game and potentially is tied to dev bonuses. Like obsidian and fallout new Vegas.

I don’t see any corporation being above artificially inflating any of their numbers.
