Arrowhead kind of messed up by not just implementing the PSN requirement from the start, and avoiding this confusion. It’s not like Sony suddenly made this requirement, it has been there all along.
I don’t mind ads in EA games, mostly because I will never play them.
There is a warning from a user on Reddit. Might be worth considering before buying. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16qekm6/dont_buy_an_umbrel/
I’m not buying anything from Ubisoft. If people do that, they get exactly what they deserve.. a game from Ubisoft.
Leaving would also leave room for competitors to grow big. The market is still there and if American companies won’t deliver other companies will.
Wii had backwards compatibility, same with Wii U. Switch couldn’t use disk so it couldn’t be. All the Gameboys had it. Super Nintendo as well. 3Ds and DS had it. Nintendo often do it.
When was the last time EA had an idea that made things better for the customers.. you know like how companies are supposed to work. Customers pay and in exchange they get something that makes their lives a little better. But it’s always just about extracting value and giving as little as possible back.
“Here take the same reskinned soccer game, now a little bit more expensive, with ads and new bugs, and some micro transactions, because you should pay us more, because fuck you”
People will always corrupt a system for personal gain
Now you are just making stuff up. People are selfless all the time. But in a capitalist society you are punished for being selfless and awarded for being selfish. It’s a highly anti social ideology.
I still dont understand why we need bluesky.
At least people should cancel their game passes.
Why are they insisting on this PSN madness? They make themselves look like complete idiots.
How do we keep the bots out of Lemmy? Eventually all the AI rot will spread to the fediverse.
Yea, that’s how companies work under capitalism. They are not trying to make the best games, they are trying to extract the most money. And apparently enough people are supporting this behaviour.
Protecting status quo with violence is usually not left wing. Super heroes are reactionary. They don’t create anything. They just react to some villains plan to change things. That’s right wing conservatism. Beat up anyone who want to do things differently.
Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.
Is anyone playing this game?
It’s an early access game. If you buy it now you are buying promises and the chance to be a beta tester. And that’s okay, if you don’t get emotional if things don’t turn out as expected.
I really hope these developers create new independent studios and if they ever get offered a big bag of money, they will remember what happened last time. Maybe they will be smart enough to create worker owned studios and not waste huge salaries on useless CEOs.
Yea, but AI bots do it at an unprecedented scale. The price of generating bullshit is practically 0. There is already cheap AI content every where and people are already getting tired of it. It’s true that human actors has done something similar for a long time, but now AI will make the process so easy that AI junk will be everywhere. Look at Google search results, it’s already filled with blogspam generated by AI. Blogspam was a problem before, but now it’s insufferable. Cheap midjourney “art” is showing up in search results even when you search for real classic artist, you get these ugly AI copies. Generative AI is the ultimate bullshit and spam machine.
Maybe the solarpunk instance is for you. Solarpunk tend left leaning anarchists.
Microsoft… always two steps behind. They always just wait for someone else to demonstrate a successful idea, and then use their deep pockets to buy a piece of the pie.
We need a second Gollum game.
If anyone really wants to play a Ubisoft game, just wait. You’ll get less bugs for a way better price. There is never any reason to buy a Ubisoft game at lunch.
Sony does seem that they are into supporting PC. They know it’s not enough with PlayStation revenue with these big budget games.
Apple really needs to hire some grown ups.
Immich might work.
Not even in games can an honest peasant drink.
Seize the means of connection.
Yes, and we have systems in place that makes I more likely that selfish and cruel people, get to have power. We award power hungry people with power.
That’s not a stereotype.
It requires a Netflix subscription. That’s too bad.
And they have to live with the shame.
These companies are using dark design patterns to manipulate kids and young people into a pattern of behaviour. You can blame consumers, but it’s not exactly a fair fight. These big companies have behaviour specialists employed and tons of data, used specifically to get people to act dumb in a way that benefits these companies. Heroin pushers are more honest.
I hope Larian Stusios will buy this IP, rehire the original writers and so great things with it.
Unfortunately they wont.People will rather use an unsecure Windows version than try something new.
That sounds more like a prayer than a plan.
I think there need to be a balance. If it’s a service game, they need money to keep servicing the game. There is a fine line between a reasonable voluntary option to support a game in exchange for some symbolic cosmetic and gross predatory practices.
How does that help shareholders? Democracy is when shareholders get richer! Something something pension funds and trickle down economics.
Too bad it’s made by Ubisoft.
If cloud gaming ever becomes the norm, the consumer will have no power left. That’s their end game, to lock us into platforms and extract subscription and when they can’t get more subscribers they will demand higher prices and add more advertising. People who are paying for game pass, are investing in this future for gaming.
