Nice, and they waited til the end of the Steam sale, too. Real classy.

CaptainBasculin,

This mod was hyped previously. DMCAing it right before its release date is a different kind of dick move; especially considering the game is vulnerable to an RCE exploit and the mod would likely patch it to have things move more securely.

The timing of this move makes me want to never buy another game from Activision (or Microsoft, by extension). Just such a blatant exploitation of the community.

bastionntb,

I think that’s been the move for awhile now. I have not or will not buy anything Activision or Blizzard, I would rather pirate if I wanted it that bad. But I’m finding that their games now a days are just copy and paste someone else’s usually. This really was a dick move though.

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

you’re right about that. I just thought maybe things would be different under Microsoft, but clearly that is not the case.

GingeyBook,

They had to have known about it for a while too.

So they sat and let the devs get it to a finished state only to pull this

theangriestbird,

They’re happy to let it drive sales for their game.

teawrecks,

I mean, apparently not. They could have had even more sales once the mod released, but I guess they don’t like money.

pipariturbiini,

Fan projects or mods should be never pre-announced, just released once they’re ready. Once it’s out there the big companies can’t stop it.

Auli, do games w The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC has been ready for at least seven months, it’s claimed | VGC

If it is as bad as the last of Us PC release. They can keep it.

slazer2au,

It be nice if the spent some of that time optimizing it for PC but I doubt they did.

Wise man. I don’t care about Dolby but I do care about loading

Oh fuck I forgot about Kirby Air Ride. That game was amazing. My mom and I would get insanely competitive over it.

Tarogar, do gaming w Opinion: Phil Spencer, long cast as Xbox’s saviour, may be remembered as the man who killed it

I don’t own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don’t have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don’t like how they handle those consoles. I don’t run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft’s property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather… Mediocre and I just don’t have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

I don’t hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or…

Either way, the market isn’t infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.

Do yourself a favor and never get curious about halo 5.

Gears on the other hand has still been rocking along and staying interesting IMO.

GiddyGap, do games w EU says it’s investigating why Apple terminated Epic’s developer account

On behalf of the world, I really appreciate the EU.

Psychodelic, do games w The upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot is a triple-A game, according to Sega

Fuckin hype!

Sorry, do I have to be an insufferable, cynical pessimist to comment here?

inclementimmigrant,

No you can be a delusional, corporate happy pill taking person that loves live service games and the enshitification of the gaming sphere drowning in microtransactions driven by psychologists designed specifically to prey on addiction to comment.

it’s the beauty of the 1st amendment.

I feel the need to be pedantic here: the first amendment has nothing to do with speech on private platforms.

moon, do games w Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered has a warning about racial and ethnic stereotypes

Much better then censoring the original content. Should also give a warning for dangerously sharp tiddies!

lud,

Doesn’t the remaster smooth out the breasts? Looks like it.

You can toggle it like Halo Anniversary.

NigelFrobisher, do gaming w Phil Spencer has reportedly reassured employees Microsoft ‘won’t stop making Xbox consoles’

They’ve still got to make the Xbox X Series One 360.

shiveyarbles,

I heard they’re doing a 180 on the 360

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

Dang that’s crazy. Anyway opens up Monster Hunter World

dangblingus,

Ubisoft can’t even fathom how Capcom manages to put out unique quality games consistently. Completely different universe of game design philosophy.

Defaced,

And yet Capcom is currently fucking over said unique quality games by adding shit drm to those games that are several years old.

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

Just because the Ubisoft CEO comes up with new flashy words to describe something, it still won’t make up for the fact that this is an awful, unpolished, and unfinished game, just like pretty much anything else Ubisoft released in the last decade, as a first-party developer

Vespair, do games w Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide

Embarrassing.

RealFknNito, do games w Rocksteady pulls Suicide Squad an hour into early access after players’ games ‘auto completed’
@RealFknNito@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard of day 0 bugs but jesus guys, come on. Expectations were already low.

Sterile_Technique, do games w Sony claims it delisted the KoTOR remake trailer ‘due to music license expiring’
@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s hoping the project isn’t scrapped, but I’m not convinced they’d scrub all mention of it over a music license.

tuckerm, do games w Remedy says its Max Payne remakes are ‘a big, big project’

But that screenshot proves that no remake is necessary. Does that not look perfect already? Literally pictures of real people slapped onto 3D models. Photo realism, done. Perfected. No one else, besides the classic Mortal Kombat games, has had the courage to make a game out of straight up photographs of real people. Max Payne had the best graphics. The MOST graphics. THE PHOTO GRAPHICS.
