He was speaking of someone else’s game that did that, not Heartbound.

This is one of those things where it’s something weird published April 1st, but it doesn’t feel over-the-top enough to absolutely be a joke. I have no idea if this is real or not lol

I don’t think Morrowind needs a remake. A remake would likely try to smooth over the game’s rough edges, but the rough edges are a big part of what makes the game actually work, imo.

Now, at this point I don’t think I trust Bethesda enough to get an Oblivion remake right, either, but Oblivion was very much held back by technological limitations of the time, and in my opinion it hasn’t aged very well. I can at least see the potential of an Oblivion remake where they don’t have to be concerned about how much they can fit on an Xbox 360 disc.

If a game hasn’t been fully bugtested, I wouldn’t consider it “done…”

“Product Degradation” has been the modus operandi for nearly every online service for like 10-15 years now, but it’s the Gamepass price increase is what got the FTC’s attention? Where was the FTC when the movie/TV streaming service market balkanized itself in an arms race to reinvent cable?

Granted, I doubt the FTC could really do anything meaningful to stop enshittification given that corporations are effectively above the law these days, but it’s been blatantly obvious that this was going to be Gamepass’ strategy from day one. If this actually surprised anyone at the FTC, they really haven’t been paying attention.
