givesomefucks, do pcgaming w Cyberpunk and Witcher developer announces it's cutting 'roughly 9%' of its staff over the next 7 months

This makes sense tho, the big cyperpunk expansion is out in 2 months. So once that happens they won’t need as much staff.

As their next release approaches, they’ll probably staff up again.

NotTheOnlyGamer, do gaming w Anglers rejoice: Sega is giving out free Steam keys for Sega Bass Fishing, the Sega Dreamcast bass fishing classic
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Unless it comes with the old fishing controller (and that controller is also compatible with the Big sections of Sonic Adventure), I'm not interested. Half the fun of fishing games is using a goofy controller.

TrontheTechie, do gaming w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site

Tell me the irony isn’t lost on anyone else that this website article about users being frustrated by min maxing profits and inorganic design language is designed exactly like the kind of site that they are talking about.

weksa,

I clicked just to see. You’re absolutely right.

TrontheTechie,

I originally tried posting a picture, but I think my instance dropped support for right now because of the recent attacks.

Edit: I got the picture posted for those who don’t want phone cancer. https://i.imgur.com/crPuuIJ.jpg

Yep, that website is barely readable. Thank god for reader mode though

Going to Fandom is like visiting a annoying dying person because they hold the hidden information.

MoonRocketeer, do gaming w Yet another reason to ditch Musk's Twitter: You can play a crowdsourced Dungeons & Dragons campaign over on Mastodon

This gives off Twitch Plays Pokemon energy. I love it.

Chainweasel, do gaming w Todd Howard thinks Elder Scrolls 6 May Be His Last Game

He’s 52, if it takes 8 years before ES6 comes out He’ll be 60. If they milk this one as hard as they did Skyrim he’ll be long dead before ES7. Hell, I might be dead before ES7

bluesocks, do games w 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames

That’s a midwit take.

Valve’s real problem is their DRM.

Duamerthrax, do games w 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

Jhex, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

so if you want to be a pedophile, senile, racist with a full diaper, play Halo… got it Microsoft

finitebanjo, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.

T00l_shed,

No, we really don’t have to hold them in a different standard. It makes sense they are kowtowing to the fascist regime though

finitebanjo,

Yes my entire point is that what they’re doing makes sense. It would actually be strange if the did anything differently given their position.

T00l_shed,

Right, so no need to say anything about different standards

finitebanjo,

It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.

If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.

T00l_shed,

Not when it comes to fascists

Fuck that shit. Standards are called standards for a reason. MS can eat shit or comment.

Faydaikin, do gaming w The Outer Worlds 2 is a great RPG that exceeded my expectations
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I’ve grown too jaded to even consider buying it.

Might sail the high seas again, but even that’s unlikely.

Damage, do games w First US videogame champion, legendary programmer, and Interplay co-founder Rebecca Heineman is fundraising to deal with the costs of an aggressive cancer diagnosis

Well, fuck. Interplay was a huge part of my youth.

sadfitzy, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

I’m interested to see the fan response to this.

jjjalljs,

I feel like the average video game player has really poor media and political literacy, but maybe it’s just the ones who make noise online who fit that profile.

rafoix,

Sport games sell very well every year and have tons of predatory monetization. The target audience is not very discerning.

Voroxpete, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.

Passerby6497, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Sure, they’ll just now promote games where Nazis and religious fundies murder journalists and gender minorities
