applepie, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Corporate loga are cancer. I don't give a fuck about your shiti brand. I paid you for use the license. You don't get to fucking stick your shiti advert into my life after I pay you.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Actually yes, they do. You paid for a license.

See, now before you used to be able to buy an individual copy of the game. Then you did have the right to edit those out. Can’t do that when you only buy a license.

applepie,

Yarrr ;)

YungOnions, do games w Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’

In case you needed another reason not to by this collage of shite, here’s a reminder that Ubisoft is a hateful company run by a hateful man and no one should be buying their games anyway: gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-has-reportedly-made-min…

Radicaldog,

I wish I gave a shit about any of their games so I could boycott properly.

YurkshireLad, do gaming w Netflix is reportedly exploring adding in-game ads to its gaming service

The Enshittification continues! I have no interest in playing games on Netflix so they won’t get ad revenue from me.

Mnemnosyne, do games w Square Enix’s president says it will be ‘aggressive in applying’ AI

This is actually what I look forward to most in gaming in the next decade or two. The implementation of AI that can be assigned goals and motivations instead of scripted to every detail. Characters in games with whom we as players can have believable conversations that the devs didn’t have to think of beforehand. If they can integrate LLM type AI into games successfully, it’ll be a total game changer in terms of being able to accommodate player choice and freedom.

I wonder if they’ll spend as much time defining what an LLM shouldn’t be talking about/doing as they would defining what a non-LLM should be talking about/doing.

TwilightVulpine,

This is something I used to be excited for but I only have been losing interest the more I hear about AI. What are the chances this will lead to moving character arcs or profound messages? The way LLMs are today, the best we can hope for is Radiant Quests Plus. Not sure a game driven by AIs rambling semi-coherently forever will be more entertaining than something written by humans with a clear vision.

dangblingus,

Characters in games with whom we as players can have believable conversations that the devs didn’t have to think of beforehand.

Correction: characters in games will have soulless cookie cutter paint by numbers responses that sound hollow and lifeless. AI doesn’t generate, it only remixes.

Also, have you interacted with a LLM? They’re full of restrictions and they’re not very good at finding recent data. How would that implement in a video game? Devs would have to train the LLM to basically annihilate their own job as writers. Which still wouldn’t really save the dev company/publisher any money or time.

Unfortunately Ubisoft is ahead of the curve and is using AI to handle “barks” in its writing process to accomplish this. It’s not going very well.

CluckN, do games w Nintendo’s president says it will continue to support Switch next year

They should support Joycons so they don’t drift into the second generations.

0xc0ba17, do games w Nintendo’s president says it will continue to support Switch next year

That sounds like “guys we’re totally not going to announce the Switch 2 soon, don’t worry, we still support the OG Switch so you can still buy consoles and games for Christmas, k? Don’t need to wait for the next console, that totally doesn’t exist.

Pratai, do games w Starfield’s Xbox exclusivity ‘yielded a better product’, Todd Howard says

No, it didn’t.

Everblue, do games w Dragon Age Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed internally, report claims

Delay as long as you need, just please release a good game. I loved the first game, and while I felt DA2 was a step back, I still enjoyed it. DA3 felt too… MMO-y to me.

It’s such an amazing world to play in, I really hope the 4th installment isn’t garbage.

mothersprotege,

Totally agree about the DA series. Can’t say I have very high hopes for this one, given the direction they’ve taken the franchise, but I’d love to be wrong.

dewritochan, do gaming w Denuvo security is now on Switch, including new tech to block PC Switch emulation

theverge.com/…/nintendo-switch-denuvo-drm-anti-ch… this news isn’t even new. i figured they’d have at least applied it to a game by now.

alehel, do gaming w Tencent is bringing back military FPS series Delta Force | VGC

Tencent…

That’s all I needed to know.

Joker, do gaming w A ransomware gang claims to have hacked nearly 200GB of Epic Games internal data

Fuck ransomware gangs. Also, fuck Epic. I guess if it’s gotta happen the silver lining is that it happened to an asshole company.
