TemTem is going to, or already has, announced the servers for the game were going offline, but that you could still play single player. A noble move when big companies are just shuttering their servers and leaving their games unplayable.
Mine went away when they discovered like 400 new pokemon and still told me I gotta catch em all.
No mate.
150 (151 actually omg you didnt even know that what kind of fan are you you didnt even…) was plenty. Took me fucking ages to get them all. Im not going through that shit again.
Idk, I completed both Gen I and II fully, getting all 151 (plus MissingNo.) and 251 Pokemon respectively in those games, and it wasn’t that bad. If you’re just doing the regional pokedex each game I’d probably find it fun because I like collecting things.
Trying to complete the national pokedex in later games sounds miserable though. 1,000+ Pokemon in one game?? No thanks. But I’m fairly certain you can’t even complete the national pokedex anymore because many older Pokemon just aren’t in the newer games.
Good. I have no empathy for huge corporate bullies. In fact if the leaks are true, they deserve it even more for their audacity. I mean a survival monster catcher game? Seriously?
I think it would have been more of a thing if RSE had online support. If you were just playing through by yourself then it was just kind of meaningless, but the main point was when you linked with someone, their secret base was brought into your game, along with their current team. They would occupy that base, and you could battle them. Imagine if the game brought a smattering of bases from the internet? Even a gen later.
I know that GF built pokemon around the link cable, but I feel like they overestimated how many of my friends would be playing.
Ahh, memories of playing Emerald and coming up to the parts of the map that rained. I’d use the secret base and imagine me and my pokemon getting out of the rain to dry up and use potions. Too bad pokemon is shit now.
so a strange, grandfathered loophole. Doesn’t help the new subscribers, and there are plenty of reasons to cancel Game Pass besides the steep price for Day One games. But sure, I guess there is probably a narrow raft of subscribers that will stay happily subscribed, thanks to this loophole, despite the price increases across the board.
My understanding was that all plans were going up in price. Evidently, this grandfathered plan is not. I’m just not sure how many people are left on that plan, it can’t be many if they are continuing to allow it
This is not a “loophole”, but normal business. Game Pass is not the only service who keep the old contract for current subscribers. This way people think twice if they cancel, because they would “loose” the cheaper price and day one releases and so on, its the same contract as before, which is a huge difference to the new.
Usually this sort of contract only applies for the term of the subscription, and then the company can change whatever they like at the end of that term.
The article even specifies that the grandfathered plan only continues to exist because Microsoft is “allowing” it.
When asked, an Xbox spokesperson did not confirm how long legacy Console subscriptions will remain active for current subscribers.
So I get what you are saying, but in this specific case, there is no legal reason why Microsoft could not force current subscribers to move to one of the new, more expensive plans. They are just being nice to some of their most loyal users, for some reason.
Watched the stream linked in the article all the way to the end. Never heard of this before but have been playing Minecraft since the beginning. There were tears shed watching this! Huge thanks to Kurt and all those that donated!
Are you fucking kidding me?! I remember watching his first (or one of his earlier) episode and thinking “yeah sure, you’re gonna do this for a month and that’s it”. And I never watched anything from him ever again or even thought of him.
Then he made it. 14 years later. Dedicated motherfucker. I am immensely impressed.
