Icaria, do games w Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision

So many dead franchises. The videogame industry really went in an unexpected direction…

Imagine all the money stupidly left on the table. All because they refuse to accept long term investment over short term gains.

So much money these franchises could have made - if they were given an honest chance

Imagine leaving Lost Odyssey off of this list.

(Although I suppose maybe you need more than one game to be considered a “franchise” 😢)

Vordus,

I think they published it, but don’t actually own it.

Microsoft at least owns the trademark on it. Not being a lawyer, I don’t know if that’s at all decoupled from “the IP” or not, but I suspect they’d be tied fairly close together.

It would also be weird if Mistwalker signed a contract giving MS ownership of Blue Dragon (which is on the list, but has multiple games from different publishers) but not Lost Odyssey. I guess maybe the solution would be to remove Blue Dragon from the list rather than adding Lost Odyssey. 🤷‍♂️

    Warcraft is listed as well as world. Good reading skills there.

    I knows it’s not gonna happen but since they own heretic and he eb now I would love to see a modern day reinterpretation by the guys at id

    clearedtoland, do games w Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision

    I’m voting for them to revive Soldier of Fortune!

    ignism,

    I see your SoF and raise you a Heretic/Hexen revival

    In the meantime, check out Amid Evil for an absolutely fantastic Heretic/Hexen like game.

    I have more screenshots saved on steam in one playthrough of that game than any other game I’ve played.

    Rai,

    My friend recommended Amogus Evil and it’s SOOOO GOOD.

    It’s very faithful to Heretic and extremely well done.

    w2tpmf,

    My vote is for Heretic/Hexen.

    I remember buying a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick that came bundled with Interstate '76… Hey MS, up for a revival?

    clearedtoland,

    I kid you not, that joystick and MS Flight Simulator 2004 got me through flight school and several ratings.

    3D Ultra Pinball

    Come on, how can they list that and not the masterpiece that is 3D Ultra Minigolf?

    Seriously though, they’re at least missing quite a bit of Sierra stuff there. Like Impressions Games city builders, or The Incredible Machine.

    There was a glimpse of prototype in that trailer and I can only dream of a new version of that game

    noone told them to make exoprimal, we just wanted more mega man & dino crisis

    Chozo, do games w Everybody Hates This YouTube Channel’s AI-Filtered Video Game Faces

    This article is absurd. Corridor made a tech demo to show what's possible with AI. They weren't suggesting that it should or shouldn't be how things are done in the gaming industry, just how it could be done. What sort of smoothbrain neanderthals take issue with a tech demo?

    Chariotwheel,

    The title should already give you a hint. "Everybody Hates" is a good beginning to a title for a 00s sitcom, but not exactly peak journalism here.

    Mr_Blott,

    Didn’t even open it, downvoted just for that stupid title

    MomoTimeToDie,

    What sort of smoothbrain neanderthals

    atlasraven31,

    Yeah, that tracks.

    oddspinnaker,

    I opened it just to see some of the photos, and my browser crashed. The photos aren’t even good, don’t even open the link.

    I don’t think I realized Kotaku had gotten this bad. Yikes!

    dustyData, do games w Everybody Hates This YouTube Channel’s AI-Filtered Video Game Faces

    Not surprising since corridor digital is owned by money grubbing techbros.

    MAGA money grabbing tech bros

    Rozz,

    I hadn’t heard, that’s too bad. Any sources?

    Rozz,

    Not sure I want to watch that video

    bigbadmoose,

    You ain’t missin much

    Chozo,

    You clearly missed much if this was your takeaway. Did you even watch the video, yourself? Because it isn't what you say it is.

    ech,

    It’s not that bad. Kinda pointless, tbh, particularly for a channel that’s focused on vfx, but it’s not biased like they’re claiming.

    @war@kbin.social avatar

    I tried, it's unwatchable. Some zero-year-old charlatan trying to hype up stealing other people's work, intercut with short clips of his colleagues laughing for some reason.

    ech,

    I don’t really see the “sucking trump’s dick” aspect there. Most of the video is spent going over the legal framework that was being used by the administration with little to no editorializing. And the end of the video directly calls the politicization of the emergency powers a threat. If anything, I’d say the video was critical of trump, not supportive of him.

    Well, I had seen them partner with Black Rifle Coffee at some point, which is a pretty pro-MAGA branded company. Their content doesn’t seem to lean that way though.

    It's like looking into an alternate timeline, where a young Trent Reznor started a J-rock band instead of NIN.

    I’ve noticed AI tends to give everyone light blue eyes. Back when I used YouTube, I noticed people use AI to generate thumbnails and all people with brown eyes had blue eyes which confused me.

    ToxicWaste, do games w Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod

    Nowadays everything seems newsworthy… I would not be mad about it if Bethesda did not include a pronoun setting, i am not mad someone made a mod to remove said option, i am not mad nexus keeping its sovereignty to decide what they host…

    What is everyone mad about? Just let ppl do whatever they do.

    librechad,

    Exactly this. It’s a game guys, not real life.

    JoeyBalls,

    The way you worded this makes it look like you’re against pronouns

    librechad, (edited )

    Ok, how am I against pronouns now? I agree with the fact that people should have personal preference whether they agree with having the pronoun feature in the game or not. It’s not about being against pronouns, it’s about freedom of individual choice.

    Now, I’m not forcing them to reupload the mod. But, if a moderator just solely removes the mod based on their own political idealogy, then you’re stripping the freedom away from everyone else. We can have a kill children mod but god forbid we have a remove pronouns mod.

    I’ve used Nexus Mods for the past 6-7 years, I’m honestly just sad to see them take this route.

    JoeyBalls,

    Nah man I totally agree, I just mean when you said “it’s a game, not real life”, some people could take it wrong. Nothing against you but I guess my message came across wrong too

    kazakhspy,

    I am, like, mildly upset about it being removed, at most. Seems like moderation team is going a bit overboard, deleting something that seems extremely mild.

    mindbleach,

    It does nothing but act as a middle finger toward a threatened minority.

    ToxicWaste,

    Lets worry about real homophobic/ transphobic problems please. I won’t go into whether the author of the mod was giving a middle finger to ppl or just always wanted the pronouns of the perceived gender for their game. Without reading the description, it is pure speculation. Even with the description, it will likely be a good amount of speculation.

    In my opinion, we should worry about things that are not argumentative. Because that muddies the pool and makes future arguments harder…

    mindbleach, (edited )

    it is pure speculation.

    Horseshit. It targets a feature right-wing cranks are frothing about, and it has exactly the same effect as ignoring the option. Stop feigning ignorance about what diet Nazi trolls openly despise.

    Nobody cares about your willful apathy on this topic. If you don’t care, stop talking.

    ToxicWaste,

    Look i am about done arguing here, so don’t expect further comments here from me.

    You and I probably have similar political interests. However, at least to me, your aggressive approach is off-putting and does not invite for discussions. It reminds me of what is happening in Germany: The far right crazy party is being excluded by a ‘firewall’. Whatever the right extremist party wants is categorically rejected, even in the rare case that it is nothing stupid (like rise funding for a public theater). It does not solve the problem, but further radicalised the members and even gave them a boost in voters. What they are presented with, is that they have to achieve more than 50%. Otherwise those far rightists wont achieve anything. Politics is about discussions and finding the path that is the most agreeable for the largest amount of people possible.

    TLDR: I agree with your goals, not your methods.

    mindbleach,

    Because appeasing the far right in Germany went so well for so many.

    The methods in this case are a website saying “no thank you.”

    If that’s beyond the pale, what the fuck is left?

    @Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Mind leach above made an extremely good point so I’m just gonna copy paste it.

    Trolls escalate. They keep pushing until they get smacked down, then cry and scream and pretend they’ve been proven right. Being ignored doesn’t just embolden them, it bores them, and tells them they need to get worse to get attention. No matter what happens - no matter what anyone says to them - they get to use it in their stupid little word game.

    The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.

    You have to simply get rid of it, and the sooner, the better.
