dan1101, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

I subscribed to Game Pass for a year or so. It was a good value but it got to the point where there were just too many games and not enough time to play them. I kept subscribing for the $1 per month trick, but once that ended I canceled.

When Manor Lords came out in early access I found a good deal for a month of Game Pass, that just expired.

I have the Nintendo one, originally for animal crossing and now it’s more because my 2 year old likes Super Mario 64 and I do not want to set her up on a PC to emulate it quite yet. Switch is a lot easier on her tiny baby hands, plus handhelds are more intuitive.

My stepdad has Xboxs thing, which works for him anyway. Given he’s retired and has time but not a lot of money, it’s a better bang for his buck (plus he’s not exactly planning on living forever).

I bought 3 years of Gamepass when they had that $1 upgrade thing and right before they increased the local pricing. Will probably be the only and final subscription I have when it’s over in a couple of years

NoneYa, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

I had GamePass for a few years and just canceled last month. I barely used it anymore except for Minecraft and Halo Infinite and don’t play those anymore. I might even own Minecraft and have forgotten.

But then I signed back up for Nintendo Online because my girlfriend and her son just got Switches and we play Animal Crossing together. But it’s not as much as GamePass so not that big of a deal.

But I’m sick of subscriptions for shit I don’t even use. Everything nowadays has to be a subscription for no reason. Nintendo doesn’t even provide anything of valuable for theirs since I can’t even talk over it. I’m just paying for what used to be free on their past consoles.

NoIWontPickAName,

They took Minecraft off gamepass

t3rmit3, do gaming w Embracer CEO says layoffs are "something that everyone needs to get through"

I’ve just been through a recent round of layoffs, though I luckily avoided sacking, and let me tell you the collective hurt that layoffs cause, even among those who remain, makes me think that each person leaving should get to punch each deciding executive once.

Shhalahr,

Only one punch? Letting them off easy, I see.

bitwaba, do games w FromSoftware owner acquires Octopath Traveler developer

How was octopath 2? I never heard any buzz about it after it released. Just as lackluster as the first?

simple,

I really liked it actually, but I haven’t played the first one to be able to compare them.

An improvement on the first in my opinion.

zachary3752,

I didn’t enjoy the first one, I am enjoying the second one a lot more. It’s not perfect, but the stories are generally better and things feel more polished. It’s still an old-school JRPG though.

bitwaba,

Thanks. I might pick it up if I see it on discount. The first one was a disappointment at full price but it was fun enough for what it was.

I haven’t played the first to really compare them, but as someone who hasn’t really been into the old school Squaresoft style RPG for a long time: It’s fantastic.

And the ripples from the SVB failure keep going.

Was nice knowing you Harebrained Schemes.

Good.

Only if he goes first.

VentraSqwal, do gaming w The Escapist staff resign following termination of editor-in-chief Nick Calandra

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?

Strange that they won’t call out the people who didn’t pay. Stupid “professionalism” >:(

Rexios, do games w EGDF calls for EU regulation on non-negotiable contracts in wake of Unity backlash
ShittyRedditWasBetter, (edited ) do gaming w Unity reportedly told dev Planned Parenthood and children's hospital are "not valid charities"

Gaming community will now approach every little thing at unity like the end of the world rather than middle management not knowing when to escalate a gap in policy, miscommunication, or just a dumb single person making a dumb call.

Sad to see a developer go but Saints Row was a cringefest.
