This is a big hit to gaming. Polygon was a reliable source and employed a lot of knowledgeable and passionate writers and creators. It had its critics because it didn’t cater to gamergate, but for most of us that was a good thing.
Valnet has blown up many sites before to make unreliable content farms. They practically invented the business.
I hope the laid off writers at Polygon are able to make something like 404media.
I like the game, but agree with the over-tutorialed complaints. They have two difficulty modes, I wish only story mode got all the handholding. I think there’s enough obvious indicators to get you through all the game mechanics.
E3 was expensive too, with way less people seeing it live. These mega companies have enough money to pay that. It’s just a big advertising platform. Only indie devs cannot pay this, unless they are hugely successful.
I don’t know, I think there’s still a big collection of games that make it worth it. I don’t think the “core” cheaper option with a set 25 games is really worth it though.
I get that for some users. In my case, 90% of what’s in the catalog that I’d be interested in I already own. I know this isn’t the standards, but it’s what happens when you’re an avid Steam Gamer with a Humble Sub and a collecting problem.
I joined Game pass to have Xbox live to play with my console buddies and for day one exclusive access. At this point, I’ve moved most of them on to PC and Xbox has done nada with my 5 or so years of subscription.
I understand the sentiment that everyone has overall but it seems that most aren’t aware that He was cunt 90% of the time. What he did was commendable but I’m sure it was more of a “leave me alone” sort of situation.
The biggest stumble seems to be from releasing without the requirement initially, and making the game available for sale in non-PSN countries.
Other studios like EA and Microsoft have traditionally required their accounts on online games since release; but unless I’m wrong, those accounts are also available in more countries.
