I'm no doctor but sounds like a side effect of covid :/
Keep masking! Covid can cause damage like this to your heart, your lungs, and/or your brain.. being vaccinated is not enough, it just softens the blow

Thanks for the reminder to claim my free game. Never going to buy shit from the Epic store as long as they pay developers for “exclusives”.

Have to wonder if they would actually be totally fine if they just didn’t have to pay out such huge legal expenses in lawsuits, and for enormous settlements, and had just played it straight with customers, and just accepted Apple and Google’s fees.

Epic do not has economic issues, they earn a shitton of money between Unreal Engine licenses and Fortnite. It's only the Epic Game store and the issue is not the legal expenses is that nobody spends money in their store

IIRC the data they show every year says on average each users spends like $15 per year

With the way they’ve been handling things it won’t ever be profitable.

Not worried. Being an Epic exclusive, I have zero interest in playing this game.

Hahahahaha

echoplex21, do games w Nintendo switch 2 akin to PS4/XBO power

A simplified Legion Go looks like something we can probably expect the next device to be then. Most people have compared the Rog Ally power with the Z1 extreme as being similar to PS4/X1 .

What they could do is a true “docked” mode where it can connect to a GPU to have it output 4K. Highly doubt as the cost would become exorbitant.

No last revelation? D:

I’m usually one to say games are fine as is and don’t need a remaster… but these show their age

DarkThoughts, do xbox w Starfield's Main Character Is Silent So The World Can Be Huge

I find talking protagonists in RPGs with customizable characters a two edged sword. It can work out great, but if your voice not fit the character you're playing, or is even highly dislikable for you, then it becomes a real big issue in regards to immersion and enjoyment. Silent protagonists allow you to use a specific headvoice for your character.

The people in charge of these companies, meanwhile, get to quietly count their millions. After all, they aren’t the ones who have to go on a livestream and defend the latest patch notes.

There are, however, a lot of opportunities during development for everyone down the chain to voice concerns about making an online-only game that doesn't need to be and requires them to go on a livestream to defend their patch notes.

AnarchoYeasty,

And lots of opportunities for them to be ignored or fired. Devs can complain all they want but at the end of the day we have to do what our bosses order us to do.

@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

If it wasn't on their minds before Diablo IV, I'll bet "defending our patch notes on a live stream" is going to be a difficult position to staff in the future for a company that's already had issues retaining talent.

I'm not sure anyone is having an issue retaining employees. Top employees, perhaps, but for a lot of businesses you don't need very many brilliant (and expensive) employees. Any competent soul will do. On that score, I can assure you that the game industry has no shortage of folks looking to get in to the industry.

I know a handful of developers (read: far too many) who have been fired for vocally disagreeing with management.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Sure, but if you want to see what happens when you have a lot of employee turnover from people not agreeing with the direction of a game, look no further than Redfall. Often times that top talent you're talking about will form their own studios and bring colleagues with them.
