It’s insane to me how poorly they treated workers before and got away with it, but then decided to just keep pushing the envelope like the workers would never say that’s enough.

Game devs get shit from all sides. They’re pushed to work hard for long hours, during crunch they’ll frequently miss weekends and nights from their families. It is common that they burn out and their family life suffers. Most developers in the community avoid game studios because they know what it’s like, so studios attract Jr developers who are less qualified and don’t know any better. And we haven’t even talked about the putrid shit they get from gamers when they release a buggy game, that they probably did know about and desperately wanted to fix but execs forced them to release anyway.

Yet they still want more from them. And now execs are all shocked Pikachu that they’re finally organizing to unionize. And they absolutely should

The WipeOut games for the PSP were pretty great. Shame this whole genre has vanished from big publishers. A new WipeOut and a new F-Zero would make my year.

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation

It was so exclusive that was ported to DOS, Windows and the Sega Saturn

For how much people are worrying about tariffs I’ve lived my entire life with a 66% alcohol tax, 75% electronics tax, 240-380% vehicles tax and recently even saw 150% inflation.

Let’s play a game!

Brazil inflation had been really good in the past year or two, so I would not say is it.

    It felt more like a retroactive beta, like taking back a move in chess saying your hand was still on the piece when they realized it wasn't working out.

    gmtom, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

    Now imagine people wrote an article every time a game came out on PC but not consoles.

    dallo,

    some game matters more than others

    Chriswild,

    Only in personal opinions. Some people only play EVE or flight simulator

    ClamDrinker,

    PC is typically easier to develop for because of the lack of strict (and frequently silly) platform requirements. Which typically makes game development more expensive and slow than it needs to be when just targeting PC. If that barrier to entry was reduced to that of PC, you’d see a lot more games on there from smaller developers.

    With current gen consoles, pretty much every game starts as a PC game already, because thats where the development and testing happens.

    Rockstar here is the exception in that they are intentionally skipping PC - something that should be well within reach of a company their size while clearly being capable of doing so.

    If another AAA game comes out with only PC support I’ll be right there with you - but most game developers with the capability release for all major platforms now. But not the small console indie studio called Rockstar Games it seems.

    I’m pretty sure the title implies this will be the first STRAND TWO type game

    howsetheraven,

    Well, the 3rd. The last Destiny 2 expansion also belongs in the Strand genre.

    the lawsuit accuses Keighin of streaming leaked Switch games, including this month’s Mario & Luigi: Brothership, ahead of release using emulation software as many as 50 times in the last two years. Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each instance of alleged copyright infringement.

    Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.

    wizardbeard,

    No way that wasn’t absolutely intentional.

    Saff, do gaming w Take-Two CEO Asked About GTA 6 On PC, Offers Up Silly Word Salad

    They will delay and delay the of port, then the new gen of consoles will be announced and they will port it for them first, then pc will get it like 6 months later. Pretty much what happened with 5 iirc.

    thingsiplay,

    It was not just 6 months later. Original GTA v was released on old gen consoles, 1 entire year later on new gen consoles, then again 1.5 years later (meaning 2.5 years later from original release) it got out for PC. But I expect it will come to PC much faster this time, as every day not releasing it is not earned money. They won’t wait until next generation. GTAv was release quite at the end of the last gen back then, this time around 6 will come out in the middle of the generation. Also the current consoles are closer to PC in hardware and software than before, so a port is easier than with v.

    I hope they take their time to upgrade and optimize the PC version. This is a massive game that needs its time. Especially because PC player have higher standards than console players and a more variety in hardware that needs to be tested and ironed out as much as possible. Obviously I’m a user like you and don’t know how much truth to all of this is, but sounds plausible in my opinion.
