That’s fucking funny. Lots of faith in their own decisions, huh?

Curious to see if he actually buys any of it back, then that’s an issue. Pump stock and sell high, tank it to buy low.

The irony of a bunch software devs about to sue the shit out of Unity to get EULAs invalidated.

Hazzard, do games w Starfield getting DLSS support, FOV slider, HDR calibration, and more

Oh, good! I honestly kinda expected Bethesda to do nothing about the missing PC options, especially DLSS. The platform clearly hasn’t been their priority.

Seytoux, do games w Square Enix games misfire due to being "single producer's fiefdom", report suggests

My two cents …

As much as I have loved FF and other Square Enix franchises since I was a child, as of late, I feel like they want to continually disrespect their fan base. I should be clear that I am not anti-capitalist, by all means, they work in those games and deserve to be paid (even more so the devs to be compensated fairly), that said, there have been this trend over there in the last years, imo, that it’s ok to release unfinished games and sell you the complete version of this games either on dlcs which … not ok, but still manageable, or making you purchase a whoooole new game, sometimes not even being available on one console or the other, just to enjoy the game as originally intended. I’m looking at DQXI, and FFXV, which I love, both of them and feels like a F you to buy a whole complete 60$ game just for added content (not extra, part of the main story) or features.

So, came FFXVI, I decided I’m not a little kid anymore that can’t wait for something, also have already a monstrous backlog from years since I don’t have the time to play so much anymore and I can wait one or two years till they release of, inevitably, the finished/revised version: FFXVI “Royal” “Plus” “Definitive” or whatever “cute” name they are going to slap on that to justify the re-purchase.

Atlus, pulls this also.

That’s the rant.

Heavybell, do games w EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4
@Heavybell@lemmy.world avatar

Want that couch? It’ll take your sim 4 real time weeks to earn it with their pay, or you could just spen $15 in real dollars and get it now. Another for the guest room, or because you lost the first in a cooking fire? $15 more, please.

Game is free but now you pay real money instead of sims money for building the house. No more motherlode and rosebud for you.

Lol

At least paralives is in development… (its slow though… but looks like a solid alternative to sims)

ShadowCat, do games w Mario Kart Tour updates end next month
@ShadowCat@lemmy.world avatar

With the Switch 2 rumours and 8 Deluxe ending it’s DLC soon I imagine it won’t be long before MK9, maybe even a launch title for the Switch 2 depending on when it launches

    True Mario kart 8 is peak Mario kart. I feel like they’re either going to keep adding content to it or do something new with the franchise like double dash did.

    Yeah tbh, what else does MK and Super Smash Bros have to offer besides a bigger roaster?

    Nintendo nailed it with both titles.

    I can see a new launch game for the switch 2 in the works.
    It would certainly makes sense.

    Paranomaly,
    @Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is the mobile game rather than one for console. There could be one for Switch 2, but they haven’t even finished the DLC pass for 8 yet so it’s likely a ways off.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    True. Maybe not launch game but late game.

    Paranomaly,
    @Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is the mobile game, not the Switch one. They’re still launching periodic DLC as part of the pass for the latter.

    ShadowCat,
    @ShadowCat@lemmy.world avatar

    There’s only 1 more wave for the booster pass until it’s done and that’s confirmed to be coming before the end of 2023

    My wife plays The Sims games so I have a passing interest and it’s already heavy on DLC so I can almost guarantee how insane 5 will be!

    wahming, do games w Unity reveals plans to charge per game install, drawing criticism from development community

    I guess Unity had a good run while it lasted. Time to see Godot splashscreens everywhere now

    CaptDust, (edited )

    Godot doesn’t charge a subscription fee to remove the splash screen :)

    eldritch_lich, do games w Unity reveals plans to charge per game install, drawing criticism from development community

    I looked through the announcement post and all I can say is that this is beyond absurd. Can they even legally apply these changes retroactively? All these relatively large indie games used Unity. They can’t exactly tear everything down and use another engine. They didn’t even accept such terms at the time, so how can they suddenly be expected to pay for every download they get?

    And I was so excited to finally start learning Unity too… damn. I probably should have seen something like this coming way back when they announced their IPO. I was going to learn Unreal at some point as well but I guess I’ll just uninstall Unity and skip right to UE5.

    There’s definitely going to be huge action taken from every studio that used Unity in their games. I have a hard time believing that they’ll get away with the retroactive part at least.

    Donjuanme,

    It isn’t going into effect until January 2024, and it isn’t retroactive. And I don’t think you need to worry too much about breaking 200k paid installs if you haven’t even learned the language yet, but I admire your drive if you do.

    hedgehog,

    It isn’t retroactive in the sense that it applies to installs before that date, but rather in the sense that it applies to games made with Unity before the announcement.

    @Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

    UE5 is great. Honestly, it would have been the better choice even before Unity decided to curb-stomp their entire community and customer base.

    But then, what did we expect after Unity merged with a company known for malware. Predatory practices are their whole business model.
