I don’t mean the usual game company tactic of trying to extract money without adding value. I mean paying modders for their creations and then putting them out officially. I’d bet it would pretty much always be more profitable than doing it in house, and in most cases produce a better result. I mean, why don’t we have some beautiful next gen Skyrim from all the mods out there, or VR versions of most games- the mods are pretty good usually.
With so many good mods out there I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more.
Buying an Xbox rather than a PS4 in the last generation was the biggest disappointment in my 40 year gaming history. I won’t be doing it again.
I can’t imagine who would ever pay $700 to upgrade from a ps5 for this.
So they say. I want an announcement.
That’s great and all but what about the Switch 2?? Please?
It’s traceable but also possible to hide your identity, especially if you are a major criminal or government under sanctions. Especially when compared to the traditional finance system (in which they also tend to be pretty good at hiding their identities and transactions).
It’s a great platform for being able to transfer money that would otherwise be under sanctions and for storing criminal profits. And that’s probably what it will always be for.
The only way to get this rich is by exploiting others and almost definitely breaking laws. These people all have a screw loose somewhere.
There’s a commandos 2 HD remaster that was released not too long ago if you want to relive the glory days.
Maybe something from My config will inspire you.
Yeah but this is true of 90% of movies and it’s far from one of the most common tropes.
This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists’ works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.
Honestly I can’t argue with that. That’s the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.
The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.
The share price literally wouldn’t be what it was if people weren’t literally buying pieces of the company at that price. So it’s very literally saying what the company is worth on the open market. Even with all your obfuscation, that’s still the case.
Yes it would be nice but there are many reasons I would want official versions of the best. First off, game companies have little financial incentive to make modding happen. Second, most mods don’t work on all platforms, such as consoles. Hopefully official versions would get wider release. Third, some financial incentives for modders, like the chance that they could sell their mod to add to the original title, would hopefully help the modding community.
