WanderingPoltergeist, do gaming w Warner Bros. focusing on mobile and free-to-play instead of "volatile" AAA console games
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

sigh Well, it shows they learned absolutely nothing about their misstep with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. J.B. Perrette and the executives meddled with this game and soiled it due to their rampant greed; if only they'd left the developers who were passionate about this project just work their magic. There are so many games in the mobile and free-to-play markets it's not likely any of WB's trash will get much traction there either.

NoOnesLazyInLazyTown, do gaming w Switch emulator Yuzu shuts down as creator agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4m

I don’t know if anybody knows this, but Nintendo’s aggressive tirade on emulators and fangames is a symptom of Japan’s strict copyright laws, given that it’s a Japanese company and one of those that follow it to its words.

DdCno1,

That’s why Sega was so notorious for shutting down fan projects as well in the past (they have since softened their stance however, provided projects are non-commercial), although I don’t think it’s the entire story. Sony lost against the groundbreaking Bleem! emulator back in the PS1 days and I’m not aware of them being litigious in this regard since.

I’m so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can’t run most games…

dom,

Get a copy of it now. There may not be more development on it, but you’ll be able to keep playing the games that work already on it

I already had it installed via Flathub, hopefully it won’t somehow uninstall itself 😅 (Or that I ever need to wipe my system…)

Chinzon,

Is there any repository that was saved of the latest build? It was pulled off flathub and github…

Not that I know of :c If anyone knows, I’d like to know.

Considering they were making enough to agree to pay 2.4 million to Nintendo, they were making bank of the emulator.

If it went to court, this would've been much much higher.

t3rmit3,

Over on Hackernews, a dev from a German emulator project that Nintendo shut down was saying that their settlement included a similarly large sum of money, but it was only actually to be paid if the other conditions of the settlement weren’t met, and that if they were, the “debt” was dropped after x years, basically insurance to ensure compliance.

BotCheese,

i havent read the documents but i assume this would be in japanese courts, where it pretty much a guaranteed loss on yuzu’s part.

lowleveldata,

It is actually in the US court. The documents are quite interesting to read.

BotCheese,

there could have been a chance then. no shame on the devs though. that is a costly battle to fight.

Fucking hell… Makes sense though, they earned 30k a year, 200k ain’t enough to challenge the bankroll potential of Nintendo.

this is beyond awful, especially to us with broken switches who want to play the games we own in these times, and everyone who can’t/ won’t afford their shit.

This is the bullshit that deserves shouting and death threats, not people making a subpar decision for a game or a bad one.

This is the first mention I’ve seen of Citra also shutting down…

Well this isn’t the news I wanted to hear from this…

t3rmit3, do gaming w Switch emulator Yuzu shuts down as creator agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4m

This sucks hard. They likely knew they could not overcome Nintendo’s infinite money for legal proceedings, and if they lost they could have been on the hook for far more than this settlement amount.

The upside is this has no legal impact, but the downside is they were the best-positioned group to take this to trial.

Now Nintendo is going to start going after the smaller guys, who definitely can’t afford to fight.

@t3rmit3 @chloyster The message is clear: Do not touch anything Nintendo.

For me that includes games as well. Greedy §$"%!$

t3rmit3,

Yep, I’m not getting any Nintendo systems or games, but I will continue to enjoy fan-made ROM-hack games, played on emulators. :)

Nintendon’t get any more of my money.

The plus side is Ryujinx is Free Open Source Software so a million forks can begun being made right now. Yuzu had closed source aspects, which was its downfall in replication from this point forward. Ryujinx will likely have thousands of clone repositories made after today alone.

t3rmit3,

People need to make sure they pull the code off of github and put it up on other sites, preferably private repos. Github has already dealt with other ‘banned’ projects by going through all forks and even re-uploads of them and cleaning house.

PoolloverNathan,

Speaking of, here’s a full backup of the Ryujinx repo, including commit history.

DoctorButts, do games w Helldivers 2 has a Dungeons and Dragons-style GM behind the scenes

Comments section is pretty clear who read the article and who is only reacting to the title.

Helldivers 2 has weeks long campaigns where the entire playerbase has to defend certain planets. The "GM" keeps a close eye on progress of this event and manually adjusts it to make sure the campaign doesn't complete too soon.

There isn't some poor motherfucker staring at a screen watching the progress of each individual match spawning more bad guys whenever they feel like it.

This continuous evolution has actually seen Joel getting up at unsociable hours to sort out situations when the Helldivers 2 team realised the game wasn’t as balanced as it could be. “There have been some sudden moments where maybe one planet was too easy or one was too hard and [Joel] had to get up in the middle of the night to give the Automatons a bit of reinforcement so the players don’t take [the planet] too quickly,” Pilestedt said.

If Embracer sells all their studios at least they won’t be in gaming anymore.

citrusface,

Good point! Silver lining and all that

The comments section here is pretty funny.

This isn't "The Director from L4D", this is the human touch of direct influence of game balance globally without the need to release a patch or even a hotfix, and way beyond just how many bots drop at a time. If you want to compare it to something, it might be The Wizard from Oz, pulling the cranks to drive the facade.

If The Director wasn't dumping enough zombies in general, Valve would have to patch The Director to make it do so because it's restricted to its coding limitations. A human Game Master can run it only limited to the variables the devs give him. Open new planets for plundering, change the weather, accuracy of your calldowns, the options are as limited as imagination and time.

Saying this, I don't know why they would leave this all up to Joel, you'd think there'd be a team of 3 to bounce ideas off or something.

I hope they embrace their extended extinction.

That’s honestly messed up and embarrassing for their developers. Writing a decent director shouldn’t be that hard.

Goronmon,

It’s one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?
