damdy, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

Can’t wait to play it…in 2035 summer sale. Maybe I’ll even get bored in under 2 hours and get the instant refund.

ne0n,

Randy actually needs to see this. It’s reality.

if others do it with Nintendo’s property, it’s copyright theft. If Nintendo profits from people doing with other properties, it’s business as usual.

DebatableRaccoon,

Nintendo really is the Disney of video games.

Oh please no. I’m not going to buy an overpriced console just to play their future games.

cyberpunk007,

The high seas for a PlayStation 6 exclusive release? First, might be a while before piracy on a new console is a viable option, second, an emulator won’t be able to run it for years.

You won’t be able to pirate the PS6. Not unless technology gets really fucking gnarly by the time it releases so you can download hardware. You’d have to rely on real theft.

Can’t really pirate a game on PC if it’s never released on PC.

Not true. Plenty of Switch exclusives emulate super well on PC.

NotSteve_,

It’s going to be many many years before we see a PS6 emulator. We’re only just starting to get Bloodborne (PS4) working on PC now

djsoren19,

There’s a massive difference between a Switch and a Playstation. We’re nowhere near emulation of a PS5, and knowing Sony they would have FromSoftware make a launch title for the PS6.

secret300,

Oh boy do I gotta tell you about something crazy…

djsoren19,

Is it how there still isn’t a good enough PS4 emulator on PC to play Bloodborne at 60 fps?

@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

I had fun with Go when it launched, but haven’t played in years. What I love about it though is how many"non- traditional" gamers play it. I’ve had more than one 50+ coworker I’ve known tell me they play it often, and do no other gaming besides it. Two of my sisters also play, and they don’t play any other games. I think that’s awesome.

And while it’s a good thing that this asshat is gone, I’m sure he’ll be running another company soon enough and spreading his cancer and bad practices elsewhere very soon as a CEO at some other company.

Plus you know that he’s not the only cause of this at the company and his underlings that are just as cancerous with their bullshit are still there.

I cannot trust any publication that “reviews” a product like this without taking at least a little time to go over the legitimately harmful business practices against the customer.

At this point you've got to wonder if they're trying to lose to Gamebryo.

The real threat is Godot. It’s getting better and better. Why pay for a commercial game engine, when you can use one that comes with a literally no strings attached FOSS license? And you have full access to the source code, so you can fiddle with any line of code, if need be.

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.

green_witch, do gaming w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot
@green_witch@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, right.

I don’t think any American was like “wow I want a shittier version of the Witcher to watch, that’d be sooo great!”

masterspace,

American test audiences literally said that for I Am Legend which combined with studios unopinionated cowardice caused them to ruin the ending, amongst many, many, many other times that test audiences have given bad artistic feedback.

His anger should probably be focused at the showrunner / studio, but I’m guessing he’s not risking burning those bridges so is instead blaming the only other party in the decision making process, the test audiences.

@green_witch@beehaw.org avatar

Judging by your other claim in this thread that Americans have a 20% illiteracy rate, as an American here’s a 20% effort response:

Hurpdurp what’s i am legend gotta do with witchermans durrr

masterspace,

You do have a 20% illiteracy rate, and the response is that American test audiences have ruined very obviously good plots with their stupidity many times before.

Help, my literacy rate goes down every time I read your comments. Now, I can only communicate this way:

@LennethAegis@kbin.social avatar

Dark Souls is kind of a lonely game, I wonder if they'll recruit some ally npc characters like the Solaire, Siegmeyer and that funny little guy named Patches. Or will they go the Samurai Jack style and revel in the loneliness of the journey.

Holodeck_Moriarty,

Maybe it’ll take place back in the day of Gwen, Artorias, and all the knights.

Oh, you thought you owned that thing you bought? No. This is 2025. You own nothing. It doesn’t matter how much money you gave them. Yeah, gave them. Because you didn’t buy that stuff. You’re just borrowing it.

We had Balatro last year. Blue Prince released a month ago and is a bona fide GOTY contender from a tiny studio and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is possibly the best AA game of all time but sure, the games industry is dead. I’m convinced, back it up boys.

The bigger your backlog of games is right now, the better. No need to buy new games for a looooong time.

uninvitedguest, do games w Jackbox Games coming to Smart TVs for free
@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

Still not enough a reason to connect my TV to the internet.

caut_R,

My LG OLED autoupdated through the internet last year and now VRR is broken (flickers no matter what or how stable the FPS is), only way to „fix“ it is to set the refresh rate to whatever my FPS is gonna be (most of the time) and then lock my FPS to that and hope it doesn’t dip below that too much (or it‘ll flicker). Support is as helpful as you might imagine.

So yeah, don‘t connect your TV to the internet or you‘re at the mercy of the manufacturer. Lesson learned.

I setup rules on my router to block outgoing traffic from my LG OLED but I still have it on the network so I can use wake-on-LAN.

SidewaysHighways,

care to share those rules?

Toribor, (edited )
@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

This would vary based on what router you use, but this is the way I handled it on my Ubiquity EdgeRouter.


  • I added a DHCP reservation for my TV so it’s IP address on my local network doesn’t change.
  • I added a new firewall policy (with the highest priority) that accepts all traffic by default between my internal LAN network and the WAN interface of my router.
  • Then I added a rule to that policy to drop traffic from the IP address I assigned to my TV.

https://corndog.social/pictrs/image/1a2955a0-9c54-46a9-8c26-9eb0422b421c.png

Now the TV can no longer phone home to send obnoxious notifications or issue surprise firmware updates but I can still turn on the TV and adjust the volume over the local network. I use Home Assistant for this, but I think the LG remote android app would still work as well.

SidewaysHighways,

thank you so much! pumped to get rid of those pesky notifications but the home assistant Notifications are awesome
