They are a natural monopoly. They didn’t use anti-competitive tactics to get to where they are. They simply had no competition for a very long time and now that they do, the competition fucking sucks and does not even try to be a better service, instead they all pull anti-competitive BS.

Lootboxes are pretty fucking awful tho, and this is one lawsuit they definitely deserve since they are the ones that pretty much invented and popularized the idea in the West (technically a Chinese/Japanese only game that never left the Asian market did lootboxes first).

They aren’t different. Both are a form of gambling. Same with blind boxes.

Umbrella Noodles turned my wife and children into flesh eating monsters. Nissin Cup’o’Noodle never did that. I am suing Umbrella Corp. for damages.

I started God of War: Ragnarok after remembering I had never installed it after 3 years of having it (it came with my PS5 that I bought specifically for Bloodborne and DeS). I almost quit after Fenrir died. That shit was fucked up. They literally animated the light leaving his eyes.

Do that with a human, not a doggo 😭

Wheb you say offline, do you mean literally or just not multiplayer?

Because a ton of F2P games are basicslly that these days. Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, Arknight: Endfield, etc. They are essentially single player MMORPGs. But they DO need to be connected to the internet despite that so…

I see anti-woke racist/sexist chuds every single fucking time I look in any game’s Steam forum since around 2007 when they stopped being specific to the Steam app itself and aren’t moderated. Where the hell are you not seeing these wankers?

This would be cool for being able to read random ass kanji in the background. Or figuring out if it’s actually kanji or some made-up bullshit that simply looks like kanji.

Tribes never really died. It’s too good. Pretty sure every single one has a way to continue playing them online; even Ascend and the extremely short-lived 3 as well as the PS2 exclusive one.

The best love story I have ever read came from a visual novel; a type of video game.

(The game in question is Adastra)

Cyberpunk never gave me issues, but Elden Ring has a ton of random things that cause the framerate to drop, especially in the DLC map.

Modern players should play Tetris to master inventory management in Diablo and Resident Evil.

It kinda already does. It keeps a looser record of events happening in the world outside your specific map while you play, thats how army movements and world events are handled. It also fully simulates everything 2 weeks at a time in certain conditions (like when you first create a fortress in a world).

Fire is good for losing weight in DF. For some reason, creatures can very often survive having all the fat in their body melted out.

Gameplay can be copied just fine, anyway. In fact, most games are just copying the gameplay of something else (not least of which are the THOUSANDS of Minecraft clones that play the same, but have their own aesthetic). This game looks exactly like Minecraft, tho, and it could very easily be confused for Minecraft. That is going to be more damning for the dev than the mechanics.

The only thing I am aware of being releaeed this year that I have any interest in at all is Duskbloods, and that’s going to be a Switch 2 exclusive. Which sucks because it’s MP focused so I’d need Nintendo Online. 😮‍💨

I wonder if it will be fooled by images of Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2 🤔

I played Rayman 1 only because I rented… Some old ass CD rom console back in the day from the local store and the rental basically also came eith every game they carried for the system and that included Rayman. Don’t remember what console it was tho… Sega Saturn? Jaguar? The only 3 systems I ever rented were those two and a Philips CD-I and I am pretth sure it wasnt the CD-I that had the game.

Not sure where you got that, but DDOS attacks are, in fact, illegal in many places.

Even if it was legal, you’d still become a target for fucking with big powers like the government of a major country.

I really want a Frame but I want it more for the software. If I could flash the garbage off my Quest 3 and use whatever Valve cooked up I am confident it would be vastly better. The hardware is decent. The operating system is garbage and they keep reducing its functionality every update. A good 70% of what I do with it runs FOSS shit I found on github and dev blogs because something as simple as putting an overlay on top of a fully 3D game is something the geniuses at Meta can’t figure out how to do.
