We’re not allowed to enjoy Harry potter anymore because Rowling is a mega TERF.

The door lock I can understand for safety reasons. Bricking the whole thing because one part broke is lazy programming.

They’re going to try make paid mods a thing again.

My expectations for a TES game are low by default. They just provide the world, the modders provide the game.

The hypocrite removes videos and other content at the behest of his other authoritarian buddies. Like in Turkey. If you ask me, safety should’ve just blocked and banned twitter from Australia.

They don’t need Denuvo protection because the Emperor protects.

Gravity Rush was great and I’m disappointed no one has done anything similar since.

Yeah, I’m just waiting for the Trilogy collection to be released and discounted to $60.

They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn’t maximise profits so the result is the same. That’s why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.

I think the hate is them essentially selling a difficulty slider.

Selling character changes when you can’t start a new game without deleting all game data and cache.

Vaping is still available in Australia as an aid to quit smoking. It just requires a prescription.

The use case is being a buzzword they can use to scam cryptobros and the gullible.

I’d argue that if you never played, then getting one of those packages would actually make you play worse than someone who’s played from the start.

FFXIV.

Not sure about ESO and SWTOR. I know WoW has the token market that technically counts as turning money into power by selling tokens and buying clears.

The game started as the musings of an old gm/qc/dev from Asheron’s Call. The early days of the game were more like a sandbox for the dev and the players. He was throwing different systems at the wall to see what stuck with the players. I remember it being full of place holder assets and jank.

But unlike g-sync and freesync, FSR2 isn’t good enough to match DLSS3 yet.

If twitchthots and onlyfans have taught us anything, it’s that thirsty nerds will buy anything at any price from a pretty face.

People keep saying they don’t deliver but they have been delivering. The game gets a new build every quarter with updates and new content. Players are still technically playing a development build so it’s full of bugs and only limited to one star system but that one star system is huge with 4 planets, 7 stations and lots of points of interest.

If you’re into the anime aesthetic: Nier Automata, Atelier series, and Recettear. I think FFXIII is fun but people would argue otherwise.
