ampersandrew, do gaming w Smash Ultimate reveals 5th anniversary event & confirms new content in 2024
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

5 years is a long time. When Smash Ultimate came out, it was one of my favorite games ever. Now I hate Nintendo.

ted,

I did not see the last sentence of your comment coming. Caught me by surprise.

For people that hate Nintendo but like Nintendo games there’s always pirating if you have a good enough computer (or so I’ve heard)

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Nah, I'd rather not give them my time or my money. If I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom, even pirated, it means that's time I'm not spending on games from companies that have more respect for their customers. If I pirated it, it also means I'd have thoughts on the game that I'd share with friends or forum users, and that would encourage more people to also buy the game. So no, they don't even get my illicit download.

also i’m sorry, having done a similar journey

whileloop, do games w New Nintendo patent suggests Switch 2 may solve joycon drift
@whileloop@lemmy.world avatar

Two things I notice

would eliminate stick drift almost entirely

I thought Hall effect sensors didn’t drift at all?

Second, I’m wondering what exactly Nintendo is patenting here, since Hall effect sensors are nothing new.

They don’t get sensor drift, but if the mechanical centering of the stick is sub par, you can get mechanical drift. The N64 is a good example. Flawless sensors, shitty mechanical construction

Cossty, do games w Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions

What do you mean “new shitty norm”? Companies have been doing that for years already. First time I saw it around 2017 I think. I not sure about the game, but I think it was Call of Duty.

frunch,

From what i gather, they waited until after the reviews were in. They got a good score, which i guess would have been impacted by the inclusion of microtransactions, and released them after the reviews were in. Sounds like they were trying to avoid the bad press they would have gotten for including them (or perhaps purchases even, from people starkly against the practice)

Wrench, do games w Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions

Same argument every time. I don’t give a shit, nor will I ever give a shit, if the only micro transactions are skins. It does not affect gameplay, it only adds a little way to customize for the enthusiasts. That’s fine, and has been a regular Tekken feature since PS3. Why people care so much is beyond me.

Juigi,

Full priced game adding microtransactions cosmetic or not will always be total bullshit.

caseofthematts,

“As long as it’s only cosmetics” has moved the goalposts from where we used to be on the matter. I completely agree it’s bullshit.

The Tales Of series has been bullshit. Used to be fun collecting new costumes from hidden events and side quests. Now half of the interesting costumes are either DLC or different edition bonuses which you can later purchase as DLC.

I don’t give a shit, nor will I ever give a shit

Yes, you do. If you truly didn’t care, you would have no incentive to even comment at all.

Why people care so much is beyond me.

Namco cares. That’s why they had hidden the feature from the launch version.

Haha. Those who bought that deserve it. They’ve been enabling that shit by buying everything they release. They are two steps away from being sold dog shit and buying it.

Don’t know if this counts as an ending proper rather than a funny and very rare unintended effect. I doubt the devs planned for it or even realized it could happen.

FYI, Instagram was blocked in Turkey a few days before Roblox ban. Both are still blocked.

Will someone please explain to me how a video game exploits children.

elgordino,

You could start with this People Make Games video from a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=Ttg4-Bust1K-X-22

Banichan,
@Banichan@dormi.zone avatar

I said explain. It’s this old school thing we used to do where we JUST TELL A PERSON SOMETHING

Randomgal,

I get what you are saying, and actually agree with out. But you don’t have to be an asshole about it. No one has the obligation to attend your tantrums.

Children make games on Roblox (real games, the thing people do working in the industry), Roblox makes money off those games and pays close to nothing to the children. Therefore, exploits children.

mke, (edited )

Sometimes, there are already resources explaining more clearly and thoroughly than we could. And although I’m unsure if this case qualifies, there are definitely topics that can’t be reduced to a few sentences. Thus, a reputable link is often worth more to both sides: it saves the explainer time and effort while informing the target far better.

If you don’t want to engage with the content, I believe there are better ways to go about it than being rude to people who were likely trying to help.

blackbelt352,

The video is an explanation, none of us want to regurgitate multiple 30-45 minute videos that already explain exactly what your asking.

NaibofTabr,

The video is an explanation.

Badabinski,

This comment is such a beautifully concise argument for the existence of block buttons. Toodles~

LainTrain,

No we didn’t. Telling people something was invented in 2016 by russian bots in Kamchatka on Twitter.

Watch the video or feed it into ChatGPT for a summary or Google a pre-existing summary.

Just give me the broad strokes

Donut,

Stop expecting handouts with 0 effort especially when the answer is one tap away.

MotoAsh,

Jeeze, he must work for Roblox with that level of expected free labor…

eratic,

Lemme compile it all into a 20 second tiktok video

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Kids make maps. Stuff in the maps is sold for Roblox bucks. Roblox bucks cost money to buy. The kid who makes the map gets the Roblox bucks, and can sell them. The problem is you only get 30% back when you sell a Roblox buck.

So kids spend time making big maps and servers, buying ads, getting shoutouts on YouTube/whatever, and Roblox takes a 70% cut from all of it

Banichan,
@Banichan@dormi.zone avatar

Sounds like a normal business that gives kids a chance to make money.

Quill7513,

Its exploiting child labor and the impulsive brain chemistry of adolescence.

Banichan,
@Banichan@dormi.zone avatar

“labor” 😂

Quill7513,

What would you call it when a child does work that you profit from?

TrickDacy,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

Doesn’t matter what you call it. It’s profitable and you know that’s what’s meant.

ZeroHora,
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

Is labor. There is a whole market of Roblox related things, there are job sites, freelance sites that employ kids to work on design/programming/marketing of these game modes. To pay them the game currency that maybe later can be traded for real money.

Is not just kids tinkering with the game.

themurphy,

Fair enough, but couldn’t the same be said about YouTube? They also take the biggest cut of the ad money for creators.

Quill7513,

Yes. Using kids to drive engagement on YouTube is exploitative. Parents who do that are exploiting their children

notfromhere,

But what about…? Doesn’t excuse the first thing!

themurphy,

Why did anyone read my comment as an excuse? I was pointing two fingers instead of one on Roblox.

notfromhere,

Probably the “but”. I agree that both are exploitive and they should all be called out on it.

themurphy,

My bad. English is not my first language.

mashbooq,

A normal business, yes. Normal businesses are highly and cruelly exploitative, which is why we decided 80 years ago (in the US) that children, at the very least, should be protected from them.
