Computerchairgeneral, do games w Disco Elysium standalone expansion reportedly cancelled and quarter of staff facing redundancy at ZA/UM

It's a shame that people are being laid off, especially when it seems like it's retaliation for complaining about working conditions. Still, I don't think I'd ever be able to buy anything from ZA/UM after they kicked most of the creators out of the company and took control of the IP.

Didn’t Aragorn have to tell those ghost dudes he was the king to get them to fulfill their oath? 🤔

Shadywack,
@Shadywack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, and it went something like “Hay, I am TEH KING” Ghost dudes be like “lolwut? Fuq, die bitch” Aragorn blocks attack with Anduril “Oh shit, lmao, sorry, we gotchu bruh”

THEN he was teh kang.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Activision Blizzard settles sex discrimination lawsuit for £44m

This isn’t even a slap on the wrist for a company like that anymore. This is more like an untimely poke

detectivemittens,

Yeah. It’s a joke given their executive comp is higher than the awarded amount.

p03locke,
@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

The cost of doing business. They will continue to discriminate and it would still be profitable to them.

The judges in these lawsuits don’t seem to understand that it’s not just about paying money and damages back, but making it financially unsustainable to repeat the crime.

KyuubiNoKitsune,

If it’s any consolation, there is now a system in place where average people have taken charge of handling shit like this because HR are too busy protecting the company to care. I’m not in AB, but I do know that the system exists and the people running that department give a shit about the people who have problems.

Anissem, do gaming w E3 is officially dead

RIP. Went to 3 E3 conferences back to back at the end of their golden years. Boy was it a glorious spectacle that I’m thankful I got to experience.

Hopefully something as good as E3 comes about in the future as it's sad to see the gaming community have one less thing to be exited for.

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

*excited sorry to be that guy but I spesifically hate it when people say exited instead of excited it just sounds so wrong. Have a nice day

Absolutely no problem, this is just a very spesific nitpick of mine

    And that 15 years was filled with nothing but shark cards and other online only nonsense.

    Don’t know why anyone would be excited in the least for a new GTA.

    Fredselfish,
    @Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m not I fear that this game be a monetize hellscape with online only play.

    froop,

    GTA5 was the most profitable entertainment product of all time when it was single player only. It turned a profit in one day. It’s definitely going to have an online mode, but there’s no reason to expect it to forgo single player, especially after rdr2.

    WarmSoda,

    I looked into it and yeah, the only thing that made more has been Minecraft. And Minecraft made twice as much. GTAV made twice as much as the one below it.
    That’s pretty crazy.

    Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why they focused on multiplayer. Im just a fan since GTA 1. They have a completely different set of values since then, and it’s too bad to see them degrade into Corporate Company No 1. So to speak.

    froop,

    Their completely different set of values led to RDR2, so I’m not worried.

    SuperSaiyanSwag,

    I mean, we got RDR2 5 years ago and that game is a masterpiece. Yes, there is potential for the next thing to suck, but it hasn’t happened yet, so why be pessimistic?

    pls dont dissapoint rockstar.

    smort,
    @smort@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m gonna look at reviews and gameplay first. But if it’s got 10+ hours of what looks to me like fun, then I’ll probably buy it

    As with V, I’m not interested in the online stuff

    orbitz,

    I tried some online stuff (no friends and just casual play) with V and it wasn’t interesting at all to me. Mean the story wasn’t stellar in V but I had enough fun through single player. Hopefully they put at least the same effort in VI’s single player. Though with all the companies wanting more money I bet there’ll be more focus for online from the start this time.

    WarmSoda,

    Yeah I agree with that sentiment.

    What better way to manage head counts down?

    ISOmorph,

    That’s the devious part. It’s just mass layoffs without the severance packages.

    conciselyverbose,

    It still counts as firing you most places. Materially changing the work environment and obligations is constructive dismissal

    Especially in Canada, and particularly in Quebec

    caut_R, (edited ) do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

    Please backwards compatible, please OLED, please enough power to 720p60fps everything natively (no upscaling, cause that sucks on such low res, Idm 4k upscaling).

    1080p60fps on portable would be a dream but I‘m not that delusional.

    I‘d also be hyped if they could offer joycons that make it usable for extended amounts of time in portable without destroying my hands or having to rely on third party cases.

    beefcat,
    @beefcat@lemmy.world avatar

    Can we add a cheaper non-portable option to the wishlist? I don’t like paying for a screen or battery or junky mobile controllers that I will never use.

    darth_helmet,

    This is exactly where I’m at. I don’t think my switch has left the dock on purpose since I bought it, what a waste of resources.

    Jabbawacky, (edited )

    I just use Yuzu rather than my switch. Can’t beat 4k60fps+

    darth_helmet,

    No judgement from me, but I do try to pay folks for their stuff if I can afford it and it’s available in the market

    Jabbawacky,

    ? I buy all my games and rip them using my launch Switch. I then enjoy playing them in 4k60fps instead of using the dock, with the saves synced via wifi so I can go back to handheld after.

    Emulation does NOT = piracy for fucks sake.

    darth_helmet,

    Ok, carry on. My mistake.

    Jabbawacky,

    Do it again and you’ll get the raspberry

    russjr08,
    @russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

    Out of curiosity, how do you do the save syncing? I’ve already got Yuzu itself all setup, but this would certainly help with some issues that I face when using it.

    blanketswithsmallpox, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

    Thank you for all the free updates ConcernedApe. I hope you’re enjoying your time with your millions and if/when you release the Haunted Chocolatier I’ll get that too. You’re great and your game is great.

    Mini_Moonpie, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

    The article says that comment came from a CEO of another game company, not players. Tim Bender, the CEO of the publisher for The Manor Lord, said “Players are happy, the developer is happy, and we as publisher are thrilled beyond belief.” I don’t understand where the post title that says he cited gamer expectations came from.

    Infernal_pizza, do gaming w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 always online, including campaign, due to "continuous" texture streaming
    @Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world avatar

    So this means it doesn’t take up much disk space right?

    Xbox’s store page for the game reveals Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s install size is an eye-watering 309.85 GB.

    Wtf?

    Katana314,

    If they add any patches, then Series S owners won’t be able to install it at all, much less own any other games.

    rwhitisissle, do gaming w Reuters claims Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later this year

    I don’t see how they can be releasing a Nintendo Switch 2 when they just released the Nintendo Switch like…a year or two ago. Wait…when did the Switch come out? March of 2017?! Holy shit it’s been 7 years.

    You act like 2017 is old, like we’re not all still playing FF Tactics Advance, and Pokemon Fire Red, and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones and having a blast like it’s 2004.

    !deleted6348 avatar

    Don’t worry, by buying so many studios they will invest more into gaming, and we’ll get better games than ever!

    Monopolies are never good, kids. Attempted monopolies are just about as bad.

    I’m also real tired of the copro euphemisms going around trying to hide that they’re firing people.

    copro euphemisms going around trying to hide that they’re firing people.

    Like Return to Office? Never has the corporate C-Suite ever had an easier excuse to shitcan people for no good fucking reason.

    scrubbles,
    !deleted6348 avatar

    The easiest layoff method there is.

    Still, the most putrid word for me is “right-sizing”

    t3rmit3,

    I’m not sure if “copro” was meant to be “corpo”, but either way works. xD

    Sivick314,
    @Sivick314@universeodon.com avatar

    @beefcat I assure you it runs on the ps5 and was released on the ps5 because it was THREE YEARS AGO

    beefcat, (edited )
    @beefcat@beehaw.org avatar

    that is the PS4 version running under backwards compatibility. the game released months before the PS5 launched.

    you wouldn’t call f-zero gx a wii game just because the wii is backwards compatible with gamecube games.
