Why take sides if both are shit. Apple with their stupidly controlled walled garden VS Epic thinking they can buy their way into infinite reach everywhere. I’m rather pleased they didn’t agree with each other, because their cooperation seems even worse than them acting as separate entities.
I’d take an Apple loss over an Epic one any day here. Apple’s walled garden philosophy has permanently damaged the tech literacy of an entire generation, and the fact that ~half of all people that want to use a smartphone to do things simply can’t just install a FOSS application downloaded from Github to do the thing is an atrocity. Apple getting away with it also emboldens Google to make their phones/tablets into “gadgets” instead of “computers” with stuff like file permissions policies (that became so restrictive that the devs for Syncthing simply gave up on Android as a platform).
Meanwhile, Epic’s greatest evil that affects me is that I don’t play some video games because they’re exclusive to Epic’s store, and also some video games are worse because it “just makes too much financial sense” for AAA devs to release UE5 slop. Operating systems and programs are more important than video games, and video games as a medium are more restricted by stuff like what Apple’s doing than what the AAA devs do to generate shareholder value.
I managed to never drop a penny on Epic. The game launcher relaunch with all the propoganda put me in a state of “voting with my dollar” where I decided I’d give it a year or two before I tried out their storefront. Then when they decided to sick all the fortnite kids on Apple in this pathetic attempt to get attention on their case, I was like nope never buying a thing. Apple of course, can also eat my ass
Honestly, I maintain the ancient line of if you’re playing games on Apple you’re doing it wrong. Apple is not a gaming platform. That said, Fortnite sucks so meh.
Both companies are absolute shitty garbage headed by scumbags deserving of vigilante justice, but it’s especially pathetic seeing how many people are willing to bend over backwards just for apple.
It’s like we’re not even allowed to fight back against them by saying “If you want our product, don’t use apple.”
Hmm… I dunno about adding to the base version of the PS5, wouldn’t a game like Cookie Clicker benefit from the power of the PS5 Pro? They should make it PS5 Pro exclusive.
It was only recently I saw that Blue Prince did not make a PS4 release, which surprised me - quite a lot of games even in the past year have still put that out when there’s nothing in them that’s highly demanding. Usually, it just means it hovers around 25-30fps.
I’ve been riding Adventure Capitalist on my PS5, which doesn’t really require fast clicking. But it doesn’t have the events, so it’s been kind of slow going.
I’ll probably pick this up so I can forget about it for a month and then update.
I’m sure there’s plenty of fans, and you guys and gals can enjoy your sequel.
But, I’m just not down with Kojima whipping out his Kojima and Kojimaing all over the place. The man cannot write a cohesive story that makes any amount of sense if his life depended on it, and the absurdity has gotten even worse over the last few games. He has nobody to tell him “no”, so every shit idea and thought in his head ends up in the game.
Also, how many cans of Monster energy drink are going to end up in this sequel?
