arefx, do gaming w 'Marketing's dead, and I can back this s**t up': Larian's publishing director says players 'just want to be spoken to, and they don't want to be bamboozled'

I’m at least an average intelligence guy, not a genius, but I’m not some compelete idiot. Big game companies treat me like an absolute dumb ass so I don’t bother with their trash (the games are almost always mediocre anyway full of MTX). Just sell me a full working product at a fair price and then charge me for an expansion down the road if you want. Don’t nickel and dime me or promise me.shit I know you can’t deliver. Just talk to me like a human lol

nytrixus, do games w A Konami code variant in Castlevania has been discovered after a quarter of a century

The only reason it’s been that long is because the Castlevania games on the N64 were trash.

Immersive_Matthew, do gaming w Borderlands 3 community scores a big win for science: 'These players have helped trace the evolutionary relationships of more than a million different kinds of bacteria that live in the human gut'

Wow the trailer in the article for the project was fantastic. What a great project.

thorbot, do games w 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

CEO is aptly named, at least.

naticus,

I kept trying to figure out the joke about the name Swen Vincke and was failing. Cocks. It was right there in front of me everyone. It was Cocks.

MalachaiConstant,

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks, for those of us who can’t help but read comments before reading articles

_haha_oh_wow_, do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’ll cry for you, Argentina.

nottheengineer, do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.

This has been planned for months and every Turkish friend I talked to said “if you want anything from Steam before the end of the month I’ll gift it to you, just send the $3” so no, it’s not a bug.

In my experience that loophole has not worked for a long time. I have never been able to redeem gifts from friends in a low-cost region while I'm outside of the country. Even though my Steam account is also based in that same region.

Fedizen, (edited ) do games w 505 Games' parent company lays off 30% of its workforce, says gamers really only want sequels so that's what it's going to make

sequels of what?

My highest play time game is probably minecraft, and my recent go-to is slay the spire.

Sequels are seen as safer profits (there is an existing market) so they get more investment and more investment tends to make better games.

This doesn’t mean its what people want, it just means that name recognition means its cheaper to market a hit game with previous versions acting as a marketing boost. Its a feedback loop.

TryingToEscapeTarkov, do games w SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer

“Coming to other handhelds” “very tuned for steam deck” Why are these conflicting things in the same headline?

curiousaur,

It’s tuned to the architecture. AMD APUs.

Goronmon, (edited )

It’s tuned for a specific hardware platform right now. Choosing specific hardware platforms for support is just an extensions of that.

However the “PC” platform is basically an amalgamation of any possible hardware combination that currently exists, and is a whole different target for a project like this.

Ashtear, do games w Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today

It’s tempting, but I know it would be too much of a time suck. Especially pre-Planes of Power era, after which time spent traveling drops dramatically.

I can’t imagine anyone unfamiliar with the game dropping into one of these fan servers, though. Bit of a reputation for not everyone being the nicest people, especially towards new players.

Not only that, but the game has a steep and punishing learning curve.

Summzashi, do games w A heroic Starfield modder just straight-up deleted those repetitive temple 'puzzles' from the game

Wow, so brave

Furimbus, do games w The modder behind Burps of Skyrim and Snores of Skyrim has made a breakthrough in the field of customizable flatulence with Farts of Skyrim

I really need to get my old SoundBlaster 16 reinstalled.

Steeve, do games w Epic says it's 'looking into' it after pigeon dating sim maker says she's not received royalties in 2 years

Well, did it sell any copies?

At least 1!

Knusper,

It’s not an unpopular meme game…

@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

If you read the article this isn't purely about the Epic game store but around the publisher of the game who was bought out by Epic. there are about 30-50 reviews per month for the title on steam. So I think its a safe assumption that it has at least sold some copies in a period of 2 years. There were at least 70ish reviews for the Holiday "expansion" standalone in 2 years.

Steeve,

My comment was a joke because it sounds like a silly bizarre game
