LovableSidekick, (edited ) do games w Video Game History Foundation's long-awaited digital library will be available online next week

This organization fared much better than the Software Preservation Network, which the US Copyright Office recently barred from lending out copies of retro games themselves. It’s a lot easier to access material about the games.

I was gonna make a joke about Nintendo, but I’m pretty sure they actually sued someone for publicly hosting 30 year old copies of the Nintendo Power magazine.

BioWare goes on to state that it is now happy the game is in a “stable place”

Corpo speak for being comfortable with losing.

sp3tr4l,

A flat line is technically a form of stability.

    I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it’s not great either.

    inclementimmigrant,

    It’s a ‘meh’ game at best.

    It’s not that it’s bad.

    It just doesn’t feel like Dragon Age. It’s like Dragon Age if Disney made a DA game.

    Veilguard is a 3rd person action RPG, not a CRPG. It plays like God of War or something. It has lots of DA characters and lore, though.

    the major difference with GOW is that you can pause combat at will to strategize and time abilities/combos with your squad.

    This comes shortly after news that EA lost several billion in market value and Veilguard underperformed, so not surprising at all.

    I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.

    That’s a shame, it looked so cool but I’m glad they’re making sustainable, if difficult, choices.

    For all the criticism I have heard about this game, I haven’t seen anyone say it’s buggy or runs poorly. The problems people have with the game are way beyond the scope of bugfix patches, so it kinda makes sense to me that the game is as good as it will ever be.

    I mean the game is… okay, anyways. Which in the context of a Dragon Age is disappointing as fuck even after the boredom simulator that was DAI. But it’s not like anything is particularly bad either, not even the dialogue. It’s… fine. Aggressively mediocre, even.

    SuperSynthia, do games w Can a Steam profile be a real memorial for a lost life?

    I’ve got two friends that can’t log in anymore. I feel your pain. It sucks a lot for sure. I enjoyed the article, thank you for posting.

    One thing I wished they would have explored a little more was the psychological effects these memorial pages have on those left behind. Part of what helped me fully grieve and accept the loss was to eventually stop going to the pages. I guess in some way a false hope kinda starts taking root, at least it was that way for me

    nokturne213,

    I have one friend on Steam who is incarcerated. My best friend that died is on my PlayStation friends, and Fortnite specifically. For the first year I used to log in to see how long it had been since he last played. As time went on I did that less and less. I still view his profile.

    SuperSynthia,

    It’s ok friend. Nothing wrong with it, it’s our version of an older person holding on to a newspaper article about their loved one.

    Thank goodness we knew them

    I love how you all are so flabbergasted by how simply okay the game was that each and every time someone asks how it is, everyone fumbles for words and cannot express it in any other way than solid, stable mediocre experience. Like lol. So I guess it’s good game, just not a good Dragon Age xD

    It feels like a complete bloodbath with the job situation in the gaming industry in the west.

    The worst thing is none of the executives are getting fired (in a proper manner, no golden parachutes and clawbacks on any stock based compensation).

    Ledivin,

    The worst thing is none of the executives are getting fired (in a proper more manner, no golden parachutes and clawbacks on any stock based compensation).

    lol, welcome to the west

    novibe,

    Yeah? The executives are firing people, to lower costs, make the numbers look better…? Which makes the owners of the business money?

    Why wouldn’t the executives get bonuses or golden parachutes if let go? They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

    Executives don’t make products, provide services, or add any productive value. They are just the face of the owners, and will do the “hard” things for them.

    Like lie, commit crimes, do mass-layoffs etc etc.

    Cethin,

    Executives are responsible for the direction of the company. They aren’t just there to cut costs (at least, not usually). They’re there to see what opportunities the company to move into, and guide them to success.

    This is the opposite of what most executives at these gaming companies have done lately. They’ve driven up budgets and pushed them in a direction that makes people not want to purchase their games, causing them to fail.

    If a company has to fire employees then that’s the fault of the executives. They should be taking cuts first, not the people who were doing their job well but were just pointed in the wrong direction.

    ech,

    Do you always argue with people that agree with you? How is that helpful?

    A long time member of our community passed suddenly a little more than a year ago. Her father appended her steam name with “Rest in peace.” He arranged for an online memorial for her online friends and encouraged everyone to DM good memories to her accounts. Her account’s sat there in my friends list, offline, ever since. It was a great way to honor her, I think she’d have loved it.

    I just had the unsettling realization that, over time, our friends lists will literally become virtual graveyards.

    glimse,

    I’ve got a few of those. I’m planning to backup my friend’s Twitter page and all our interactions since his account is private and I don’t want to login ever again (after archiving)

    Fuck Ubisoft

    Rogue, do games w Can a Steam profile be a real memorial for a lost life?

    Personally I think nobody gives a fuck about your profile while you’re alive so why does it suddenly have significance when you’re dead.

    Grief is a horrible process that we all go through. Cultural norms are to simply ignore it, suppress it and pretend we’ve moved on.

    The digital age preserves a far greater record of our lives than ever before. I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.

    The employees should form a cooperative, they are the ones with the skills, the actual producers
