I used this daily, had so many hours logged pre getting everything on steam. Was actually just talking about it not that long ago, was such a big part of my highschool years.
And they’re staring to have Battle Passes have multiple tiers of cost such as in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and NBA 2K24. What’s next? Multiple battle passes at once like in the free to play Monster Legends? In $69.99 priced games? Where the battle passes cost at least $19.99 per month?
Obligatory mention of Baldurs Gate 3. Only about 4 hours in and loving it. When I’m not playing that I’m playing Cyberpunk. That’s also good fun, but obviously not on the same level.
I’ve been playing Hades again. I played it a while back, but only had like 30 attempts and 3 successes. The hype of the 64 heat run and the sequel coming soon got me back into it to hopefully finish the game.
Street Fighter 6 - Still playing everyday and this iteration of Street Fighter is so much fun. Pushing on through Diamond with Marisa now, really enjoying her playstyle and trying to get slightly better every day.
Baldurs Gate 3 - Finally pushed into Act 2, so far it has been a very interesting act, definitely having fun exploring both the area and the dialogue options, with some very interesting combat happening. This game is kinda dominating my play time, and I don't feel like I will have time to play much else for a while, which is nice. Really looking forward to a Dark Urge play though when I am finished with this first run.
My boyfriend and I are playing through Division 2 together. It’s my first time playing through the story, his 3rd or 4th. We just got to world tier 4 and are gearing up to go to New York!
Tried ghostrunner but ot was not for me. It was just not fun to play and felt way too difficult. Playing a bit of stardew valley and recently started tunic too.
Part of me wants to argue that the games industry has a long-standing history of under-compensating workers, which makes being within the top 25% not particularly impressive, but instead I’m just going to admit that you caught me ragging on EA with an easy jab.
They did lay off a shed load of workers earlier this year mere days after announcing record profits though. Still, they’re not quite the miserable black hole that they were in the ‘EA Widows’ era when they were forcing unpaid overtime on a straight up illegal level.
EAs CEO makes $20MM. They have 13k employees. That’s an $1100 raise, give or take, if you take every penny from the CEO. For the vast majority of their employees, that is less than a 1% raise.
So no, it won’t get you both, in any meaningful sense.
Edit: And yes, if you are not productive, you get paid less. That’s the whole point. If you are not 100x productive, you don’t deserve to get 100x the wages of a regular employee too.
If I follow your search terms, the first Google result is this. If the data were to be trusted, then most of the employees are absolutely paid much less than the “top positions”.
If you are taking the CEO’s income literally (without considering their assets), then you are hopeless.
And a guy sitting in their office biting nails all day is somehow much more valuable than the people developing the product. Sure, if you would believe in that.
