ArchmageAzor, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

Color me surprised. I still think this whole thing is a big scam, like a money laundering scheme or some grift.

If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.

I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

Sigh deeply, rub their foreheads, and open their wallets.

Rub their nipples*

“They have been an embarrassing failure of the US patent system. “ seems like a trend these days

Cevilia, do gaming w To the dismay of sweaty 'movement kids,' Battlefield 6 is nerfing Call of Duty sliding and jumping to maintain a 'traditional Battlefield experience'

“The Sweaty Movement”

Deyis,

Smells as bad as it sounds.

rimjob_rainer, do games w Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed

Vote with your wallet and don’t buy this. Many years ago we’ve got dedicated servers and free map builders. Nowadays we get matchmaking and 3 maps and additional 3 for 20 bucks.

Mamdani_Da_Savior,

I played the BETA, its good, I’m buying.

smol_beans,

When it comes to video games you will always get outvoted by millions or children who don’t know any better and don’t care.

Duamerthrax,

Oh no, whatever will I do with my time if I can’t play with literal children.

MyOpinion, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps
@MyOpinion@lemmy.today avatar

One of the biggest scams in gaming.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly it has some cool shit going on. Its a real shame they’ve attached themselves to this business model of exclusivity. It seems it also effects the development of the game heavily.

Pretty sure its the unchained peter molyneux that was the birth and death of star citizen’s development :p

Everyone can pull a little molyneux, as a treat.

At least Molyneux has put out some good games. Yeah, they don’t have all the earth shattering features he’s promised, but there’s some good titles in his portfolio. I’m not convinced Star Citizen is a good game.

DacoTaco,
@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

Those games had a publisher telling him no to features and needing to finish existing stuff and not have scope creep to begin with. I said unchained peter for a reason :p

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

That’s fair. As far as I know the same was true for Chris Roberts. Well, it wasn’t so much that he had a publisher that would edit him as it was that he was fired and Microsoft came in and cobbled together what was there into an actual game (Freelancer).

dis_honestfamiliar, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That’s how far removed they are.

racemaniac, do games w The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'

This is a great initiative, and Ross did an incredible effort, and i hope this second wind gets the petitions the signatures they need.

Infinite respect for Ross, he can truly say he did everything he could do.

SnortsGarlicPowder, do gaming w Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven

41% is way less than I was expecting.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I bet compared to the base game outfits it’s not even that high

burgerpocalyse, do games w Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'

i don’t even know how you could meaningfully mod Starfield. the game is rotten to the core, you would be better off making your own space rpg

DarkFuture, do games w On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down
@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

And it’s an impossible equation for most Americans to pay more. Especially if things continue to downward spiral.

Where’s my eye patch?

aesthelete, do games w On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down

Look, the CEOs already have the fifth cheapest yacht chef available on their payroll, what are they supposed to do? Source the caviar themselves?

Thanks to Larian for negotiating an end to the 2007 writers strike.

ampersandrew, do games w TV tie-in MMO looter shooter Defiance returns for a free-to-play third shot at life and gigantic messy boss battles
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

and I’ve got my fingers tightly crossed that the new owners will be able to keep it running long into its twilight years—even if they’ve got little planned in the way of fresh content

The Borderlands games made billions of dollars, and no one needs to keep them running.
