monarch, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

I feel like an idiot for believing that it was just over the cheating allegations.

I’m genuinely upset that I spread his content to support him.

Its a soul-like game … what else to know.

PunchingWood,

It’s alright at best. It’s just like so many other souls-like games, it’s just visually way ahead of the others. Which comes at the cost of very heavy hardware demand.

Other than that I feel like it’s overhyped as hell. I did the first chapter and frankly I’m not sure how this game would ever hit 95% score on Steam if it didn’t have China’s community backing it. Feels like a 70-75% game at best to me.

CatDogL0ver, do games w Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation

I hope more game companies will follow. Consoles are good. Consoles exclusives are not.

paraphrand, do games w Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices

I thought recent rulings talked about Consoles as a special class that was exempt from being forced to have third party stores. Was this EU only? I found it notable, because I think if iOS is forced to have third party app stores, consoles should be too.

dormedas,

I don’t have explicitly what you’re looking for as I am not a lawyer, but game consoles aren’t a general-purpose computing device (despite theoretically capable of being one if appropriately jailbroken), and as such, prior case law for PC doesn’t apply.

iOS/Android tend to be classified a general-purpose computing device because it does all the same things a PC does (or did) and more. It plays games and does banking and plays music and browses the web and displays pictures and movies, etc etc. For some, it’s their primary and only computing device.

BlameTheAntifa,

game consoles aren’t a general-purpose computing device

I know that’s the legal argument that manufacturers make, but it’s always been bad faith. Long gone are the days when a console does one thing: play games. Now they stream, have web browsers, social media, apps… they’ve been general purpose for many, many years. Being locked down anti-competitively is not an excuse for something to be locked down anti-competitively.

dormedas,

I agree with your argument overall, but I think it would be reasonable to say they are broader-purpose computing devices now, and are not yet general-purpose. Consumers don’t have an expectation to reach for their game console to do an arbitrary thing. They generally can expect their phone or laptop to.

“There’s an app for that” just isn’t true for huge swathes of apps on almost all consoles.

iamtherealwalrus, do games w The Legion Go 2 might ditch Windows for SteamOS - and cost less

How does this hardware compare to Steam Deck? That’s the real interesting detail.

potustheplant,

The legion go 2 was released in october. Hw comparisons with other options already exist. That’s not the point of this story.

Contramuffin,

Basically everything is more powerful than the steam deck. The steam deck wasn’t really designed to be powerful, moreso it’s meant to be the “reference model” for handhelds: cheapest, weakest, yet also most mainstream. My understanding is that the Z2 should be substantially more powerful than the steam deck, and though it should also use more battery than the steam deck, it also has a larger battery capacity to make up for that increased power draw. Price, on the other hand… Well, nothing can even get close to the sort of price that a steam deck offers

ChicoSuave, do games w Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation

Of course it does, the install base dwarfs PlayStation. Go where the money is to find money. Business is not that hard.

duchess,

The install base with hardware capable of running their main releases though is probably dwarfed by PlayStation.

The excitement of getting one of the original bad boys for Christmas and being glued to Super Mario and Tetris for years. Then Pokémon Yellow. Was pure magic.

I didn’t buy it because Denuvo and Tencent (its already been repacked by fitgirl) but my brother did and he’s in my steam family. He’s played it for 18 hours already so I haven’t even had a chance to dive into it but it looks good. Ill try to report back later.

EvilBit, do gaming w SteamOS could see a general distribution release, work with other handheld gaming PCs soon

I think they need to do this now before Microsoft does it first. Xbox is flailing and the daylight they can see from there is the Xbox/PC ecosystem. Turning Xbox from a box to a brand that merges PC and console into a fluid system would be the best way to pivot the market and put Sony on the back foot.

Probably some outstanding service level agreement they walked into.

Walican132, do gaming w YouTuber ordered to pay "King of Kong" Billy Mitchell $230,000 over defamation claims

Jobst’s video also claimed that Mitchell had “expressed joy at the thought” of Smith’s death.

Damn. Yeah I can see why he got sued.

Noja,

In my opinion Mitchell did exactly that.

“My wife found two different places online [that] Apollo Legend is dead. If it’s true, I will not shed a tear. I will try not to smile or giggle. No promises,” Mitchell said in a text. …com.au/…/video-game-champion-regrets-jokes-about…

monarch,

Both of the people are so shitty in this. on one hand Karl absolutely defamed Billy on the other hand Billy has so many times used the legal system to bend people to his will that I still hate how much he won.

Bronzebeard, do games w MoviePass emerges from bankruptcy to run a fantasy filmmaking [crypto] game called Mogul

Does this mean my 3 remaining shares of HMNY (after an insane reverse split) will be worth more than 0 after all these years?

savedbythezsh,

Pretty sure it’s a different company with the same people, so no. The original founder bought the assets back at bankruptcy sale, including the name.

BreakerSwitch,

Damn, it’s the original founder? But, that guy actually gave a shit and I wanted him to succeed! The company got taken over by finance bros who just wanted to party, ipo, and walk away from a failing business they made, I assumed it would have been them, given the crypto

savedbythezsh,

Yep, Stacy Spikes. The weird part is he actually did reincarnate moviepass in the original concept (www.moviepass.com is live) but also attached this weird crypto shit to it
