whostosay, do games w Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

I like how this prophecy was foretold a clean 1 week after this shit really went downhill. Who could’ve thunk Microsoft would be a shitty money grubbing whore?

Zahtu, do gaming w Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

That is part of the reason why i have never purchased it. Financially, selling Gamepass does not make sense, as the prices does not justify the buy-in to get a substantial amount of Games onto it, making it worthwhile. For Microsoft it only makes Sense, when they see additional Profitpoints Like the closed Market on it and Killing competition. Once that is done, the quality and amount of Games going to Gamepass will certainly worsen.

And we do Not need to forget that Microsoft is a Data Company. So by requiring the Gamepass service be installed onto your machine, they certainly get a load of Data about you from it. Which neither benefits the Game developers nor the consumers.

As for the Points of “Low barrier to entry, Games trying Out Games” - duh, thats what Demos are for

OutlierBlue,

This is absolutely a case of getting in, killing the competition, then jacking the price and tanking the quality.

And because it’s a service, despite using it for years and paying all that money into it, as soon as you leave you have nothing. All those games are just gone.

I watch this dude sometimes, he says he’s a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.

Would be nice if he at least admits he’s a streamer and not a game dev.

Lemminary,

I’ve also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.

Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?

JoYo,

The job he got through nepotism?

echodot,

He worked at Blizzard in the same way that Apple store employees work for Apple. They do, but not in the capacity that’s been implied.

whats_all_this_then,

Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they’re Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won’t shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just been missing them completely?

echodot,

I know a few people who used to work for Apple. The reason a lot don’t say it though is because if you do people automatically assume you had something to do with whatever feature they don’t personally like, and you get berated about it.

whats_all_this_then,

Ah, that’s completely understandable. Most people don’t realize that in a lot of companies, the decision to make the stupid feature/break your workflow comes from a suit 10 pay grades above your level and despite everyone involved trying to explain that it’s a bad idea.

Also it’s a big fucking company haha

Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.

yanderedev is always relevant

DreamlandLividity,

No joke, YandereDev has been making more progress than Thor on Hartbound and he at least does not pretend to be experienced Blizzard game developer.

I remember seeing gameplay of Heartbound in like 2017? maybe earlier. it’s still not finished?

chronicledmonocle,

No it’s not. It’s sad.

I mean isn’t it a Deltarune ripoff ??

EDIT: Undertale it is then

dustyData,

Deltarune didn’t exist yet. It’s an undertale ripoff.

Which is very telling, tobyfox released a whole game on his own. While this " I worked at blizzard, BTW" tool hasn’t with an (allegedly) entire company around him. He’s a grifter, he scams people around him to profit off of other’s work. That’s all he does.

chronicledmonocle,

Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

underscores,

“game dev” is a way to put it

Randomgal,

Yeah but did you know he worked at Blizzard?

kadaverin0,

He’s been working on that game for almost a decade now, too.

Imagine using a voice changer to sound deeper and cheating in Outer Wilds of all games

UnsavoryMollusk,

I didn’t know about the voice changer and the cheating, am curious now

TheEighthDoctor,

The real voice:

And basically he finished Outer Wilds in his first time loop because he is so much smarter than everyone else

Omg! You can stun them!?!?

I was so frustrated with them on a recent play through.

Stovetop,

You can!

Worth noting for anyone looking to play both N64 games is that OoT Gerudo stay stunned indefinitely (until the area is reloaded) but the Pirates in Majora’s Mask who are borrowed from the Gerudo guards only stay stunned for a short time before getting back up.

This incentizes use of the Stone Mask, which can be obtained from the invisible guard by giving him a red potion. If playing the N64 version, he is located outside of Ikana Graveyard, which is a place that you can get to at that point in the game but many might not have bothered exploring yet. In the 3DS version, they moved him directly into Pirates Fortress so he’s harder to miss, but it does require just a little bit of stealth to get to where he is first.

It took me a while to figure out too lol. I never stopped to consider it until i was messing around with the bow and arrow and thought “i wonder if i can shoot them”

I’ve always wanted to try it but wasn’t sure if I’d be into that style of game.

I don’t know what happened in details but I really don’t hate him, as a member of the video game industry he has the right to make his voice heard.

I’m still glad consumers won here :)

helpmyusernamewontfi,

If you’re interested in the details: youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=1117

Atomic,

I’m not saying you should hate him. And he absolutely have the right to his own opinion. But what he did is the equivalent of reading a news title, and then go trash talk it in the comments about how awful it is, when the article wasn’t about what you were mad about, at all.

Basically this;

Title: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power

Article: Denmark shuts down 60% of their wind-power, pending an investigation as 1 million birds have died in them over the past 3 months, they are currently assessing the situation and investigating why this change in bird migration route has occurred and how to prevent more deaths. According to local expert, they will use the time to perform maintenance and test various methods of scaring birds away.

PirateSoftware: Denmark are the fucking worst, they shut down tons of wind farms, they are anti renewable, they don’t want wind farms, they realized that they can get cheaper gas, if they import more, and the difference will offset the cost of running and maintaining these wind farms. Where are they getting this gas? Probably Norway, possibly even Russia dude! They can eat my ass, the entire thing. Dried shit in my ass hairs and all.

Eggyhead,

No one’s silencing him, though right? They’re just reacting to what he said, which is consequence. Is this somehow challenging his right to make his voice heard?

Don’t pick me. This is just inspiration to do like my… 5th-ish playthrough. Fantastic game and a real treat for any new farmers!

But, the real question is… when ya gonna haunt them chocolates ape!!!

misterwu, (edited )

Great question. I like to think the more time he spends on making the game, the better it will be once its released

My SO didn’t play games until his late 30s because be started working as a teen. I introduced him to BOTW and then Minecraft and Portal. Do you think SV would be a good next game?

Melobol,

SV is great, My time on Portia/Sandrock games also, but do not forget about Terraria :)

misterwu,

If he enjoyed BOTW and Minecraft I think he would enjoy SV too :)
