Shit game anyway get shafted sony

You can use pyramid fragments and alien technology, I’m not touching playstation/sony products with a borrowed dick.

Without Epic, World of Goo 2 would not exist.

Sure it would. “wow, this publisher sponsored their development” - that’s cool, but that’s literally their purpose and there are hundreds of other publishers though. If epic had never existed, they would simply have gotten the same service from another damn publisher.

I’ve also not spent anything on games I’ve played, and then if I liked them I’d go on to purchase the game on steam. What’s the point here?

The movie will only be played on Nokia phones and any attempt to look at the movie on another type of device will be swiftly prosecuted.

Sony has been moving exclusives to PC to essentially hook people on franchises to encourage them to buy PlayStation shit

There are ~120 million active Playstation gamers globally. Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272639/number-of-registered-accounts-of-playstation-network/

“Of that amount, ¥479.3 billion ($3.2 billion) came from game and content sales. Revenue from console sales totaled ¥287.5 billion ($1.9 billion), and revenue from game services was ¥133.9 billion ($887 million).”

So - Sony makes most money selling games, not consoles. They made 2 billion from selling consoles, and 4 billion selling games. All this for 120 million players worldwide.

There are about 1.8 billion pc gamers worldwide. Literally 15 times as many as Playstation gamers. Sony is selling games on the PC to reach this market and hopefully turn that 4 billion from game sales to 40 billion from game sales. Hooking people on franchises might be an added bonus, but that’s not why they’re doing it. They’re doing it because if they manage to sell a 5 dollar game to every single pc gamer, that’s more than their entire business is worth today, consoles and franchises and everything.

I will literally play anything OTHER thank Pokemon. Nintendo is a shit company, everything I’ve read about them has painted them as incredibly litigious - and that would be almost ok, but it seems to always be at the expense of their own fans. Someone organizing a tournament for some shitty Nintendo game? They need Nintendo permission or they’re getting shutdown. Seriously? This is how you treat people who used their money to purchase your crap? Get fucked.

That being said - I’ve never gotten into the Pokemon craze. It just seemed like a dumb cartoon, boring games, money-grabbing cards etc. I remember trying Pokemon Go when it first appeared, getting hype about it for 1-2 days, then abandoning it cause there was nothing to do. Nothing interesting. Nothing fun. So imagine my fucking surprise when I found a dozen monster collector type games out there that are actually fun. I had always thought I didn’t like the genre. Turns out, I just don’t like shit games and/or the lack of nostalgia towards Pokemon prevented me from wearing rose-tinted glasses when looking at their shit-colored IP.

I hope Palworld makes it big enough to buy Nintendo and turn it into what it was born to be: a game development company focused exclusively on creating games based on the Palworld franchise. Fuck 'em.

I recently had a game I was waiting for released on steam and epic. The steam version (with some supporter pack stuff, because I like the dev) was $100, while the epic version was less than $50(with the same extras). I considered for a moment buying it on epic, but then I thought - “fuck, it’s epic games” and bought it on steam instead. I just couldn’t handle the thought of epic fucking games being in charge of my ability to play the game. I don’t trust them. Not even if all their shit is 50% off.

Idk much about business, but if you can’t be trusted to be reliable even when you’re offering massive discounts, maybe you don’t have a lasting business on your hands.

Add counters to progression:
20/180 quests completed
1805/9456 dialogue choices explored
567/568 npcs killed
95/102 areas explored
And whatever else you define as progress

Add this info into your save data. When quitting the game, open the most recent save, read the counters, compare to current values, display a nondescript “you’ve had a little/a lot of/no progress since you last saved, are you sure you want to quit without saving?” Shouldn’t take so long that it triggers a lag spike, I don’t think.
