Good.

If anyone wants a recommendation, Line Chef is super addicting. It’s one of those cooking games if that’s what you’re into. Tons of features and amazing graphics and doesn’t get boring. Also essentially free but they of course have a store where you can buy boosters and lives, but honestly you don’t need to spend a dime.

Obviously. They rarely make quality games for mobile and when they do, they quickly change gears to make it live service or subscription based and it’s all downhill from there

Bunch of moron execs go on an industry buying spree, is shocked when the infinite money dries up, kills the jobs they bought. Embracer are truely awful.

Unity has for sure lost trust from some developers. But i doubt you will see that in such a short amount. Already started and almost finished project with unity will most likely still be finished. But there could be a amout of devs that doesn’t choose to take Unity for their next projects.

ArmoredThirteen,

I work for Unity. Morale is super low here and we’re experiencing brain drain from the people in positions to leave. Another layoff is going to hose things even worse and I don’t believe the product will get better in the near future. I’m learning Godot now.

Sorry to hear your situation. I’m sure you won’t be on the market for long, though, and best of luck finding a company that isn’t shit!

@ArmoredThirteen @tamlyn that's so sad, how idiocy in management can wreck so much so quickly.

Absolutely, these are the numbers for Q3. They fucked themselves near the END of Q3. I’ll be very interested to see their Q4 numbers.

Capitalism go brrr

They’ve already started up their new venture Second Wind on YT. I’m looking forward to their fresh content and already unsubbed from Escapist.

How long has Gamurs owned The Escapists? I thought it was getting suspicious lately how many different things they were trying to get money so quickly.

They were putting more sponsor segments in ZP videos at different points and Nick would respond in the comments when people complained, trying to find a good place to put them. Then they started letting Yahtzee curse more and offering the uncensored version on their subscription service. And these changes were quickly one right after the other. I should’ve known something like this was coming, but I’m still sad about it. I hate capitalism so much. Why does these corporations have to ruin all my favorite things?

Croshaw will be able to go anywhere. I'm sure he can negotiate his team to sign with him. This was either very bad move from them or it's what they planned for some reason we don't know about.

comicallycluttered,

May have something to do with this.

To be honest, ever since that news hit, I’ve been expecting something like this to happen.

I’m actually surprised it took as long as it has.

That’s a nice blocklist, thanks Gamurs.

Gross.

prole,

Prima games… I always knew Brady Games had the better strategy guides!

And they just started uploading Zero Punctuation (same-day) to YouTube! Ah well, guess I’ll unsubscribe. Sad to see

undeffeined,

What do you mean? Zero Punctuation has been on YouTube for more than 10 years.

GammaGames, (edited )

They were uploading it staggered a week to try to get people to watch the brand new episodes on their site. It didn’t work, so they decided to put them on YouTube same day earlier this year.

Edited to make it clearer

undeffeined,

Ah, I get it now.

ZP ran for a very long time. At this point I am not even mad that it ends.
someone go check what are some longest running web series and where does ZP stand on that list

SilentStorms,

I didn’t even realise it was still running until recently. He had to have been close to 20 years.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Punctuation

Release: July 24, 2007 – October 25, 2023

So a little over 16 years.

Telorand,

Homestar Runner is technically still going (though maybe one or two episodes a year, now) and started in August 2001, so that puts it at 22 years.
