Luccajan, do gaming w Epic Games Wins Shocking Upset In Google Monopoly Trial

For Apple i’d understand this but on Android you can download whatever apk from whatever store you like.

Right? Not only can you download from any place on the web and install directly, there are also established third party shops like from Samsung and Amazon or even better, F-droid for Open Source stuff.

Maybe its classified as controlling the market, because most people don't know about alternatives and therefore Google is a monopoly. Even if there are alternatives, Google is currently in a position to control almost all Android smartphones. Similar to why Windows was classified as a monopoly, even though we had Linux for ages as an alternative operating system. So this paragraph is just a guess by me.

Zombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.

They seem pretty late to the party.

wahming,

There’s a ton of quality zombie media, the subject has nothing to do with the quality of the authors.

The best ones are more about the human stories.

Toneswirly,

Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.

Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

rishado,

Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot’s convenience.

It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn’t keep. Now get off me nuts

How are people still hyped like this for video games? I personally haven’t been for a very long time because most of them are just money-grabbing shit.

Plenty of people were born after the Killzone 2 trailer, so they haven't been swindled by snake oil salesmen before.

Why is it “Steam’s”? The article is as bad as the game supposedly is.

The ‘hype’ was the amount of Steam wishlists it got being insanely high. It’s all very sus, probably inflated by bot accounts

SwiggitySwole,

I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

Sylvartas,

Because it was allegedly the most wishlisted game on steam at one point

Project zomboid is just fine

SLGC, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

First I’ve heard of it lol

BruceTwarzen,

I accidentally heard about it a month ago and watched a bunch of videos about the studio and the game. Pretty interesting, and i was really looking forward to see how bad it is. I was kinda surprised how big the following of the game is, and most people i know have no idea that the game exists

echodot,

Yeah well just because you haven’t heard of it and no one’s heard of it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t hyped, It just means it wasn’t typed very effectively.

NewPerspective, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

The game is “The Day Before”

Droechai,

I guess a zombie game where you play the 24 hours before patient zero gets sick, like an evil medicine lab simulator who got a 24 hour deadline to produce the first viable zombie or get shut down by the evil investors

ShadowRam, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

Most-Hyped?

Since when?

Breakyfix,
@Breakyfix@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It was the most wishlisted game on Steam for almost a year. It was the second most wishlisted at the time of launch.

It’s all very sus, probably inflated by bots

SkyeStarfall,

Which is interesting because I literally have not heard of it before today.

And looking at the current list, I know about the 6 current top wishlisted games.

Ghostlight, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

Being called a dumpster fire is being very generous.

BruceTwarzen,

I watched just some gameplay, and it's still better than i expected. So that's a plus i guess.

slaacaa, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

Huh, so turns out the game does exist - though it seems it shouldn’t
