PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Indie devs should avoid 'most indie publishers' says Manor Lords indie publisher Hooded Horse: 'The vast majority of indie publishers are predatory and opportunistic'English
42·2 months agoPublishers are barely even necessary anymore. Word of mouth is king. Marketing is annoying and untrustworthy. Cut out the unnecessary middlemen that have been choking the creativity out of gaming for years now.

91·2 months agoUnfortunately our copyright system mandates that copyright owners must defend their IP from infringement, and making money off of an early access mod that revolves around copyrighted materials you don’t own is definitely infringement.

3·2 months agoYes. I play stealthy and non-aggro and most of the time my lobbies are full of people dicking around with no fear of aggression from other people because the rats are busy killing each other in the aggro lobbies.

88·4 months agoIt’s more likely that the devs are not being given the time or resources to do this kind of thing properly. Their bosses are too concerned with what will save money and generate shareholder value.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Palworld studio Pocketpair says its new publishing division won't handle games that use generative AI: 'We don't believe in it'English
21·5 months agoThey’re currently being sued by Nintendo and palworld did not make anywhere near the kind of money that would let them survive a lawsuit AND a game cancellation.
You’re making assumptions about their financials that are only ever true for enormous studios like epic games, which pocketpair is not. The gaming industry does not operate as simply as you think it does and companies don’t have the freedom to throw money away on something as simple as virtue signaling.
It doesn’t matter if a company used AI back in 2022 when it was new and less understood; it matters what companies choose now. If you’re going to throw blind skepticism at them for not making arbitrary financial risks just to appease you, then you’re not worth appeasing anyway because you’re too cynical to be a potential customer.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Palworld studio Pocketpair says its new publishing division won't handle games that use generative AI: 'We don't believe in it'English
61·5 months agoYeah because they spent money making it. If you spend millions of dollars making a video game, you can’t just shut it down and refund every order of it without putting your studio in serious jeopardy financially. That’s not an option for them, so the best they can do is just not rely on AI anymore. Clearly they tried it and learned that it actually sucks ass.
