shiveyarbles, do gaming w Overwatch 2 director opens up about having the worst-reviewed game on Steam: 'Being review-bombed isn't a fun experience'

That’s not a review bomb, you guys aren’t victims. That’s gamers telling you to fuck off with lies, under delivering, treating your employees like shit, micro transactions and battle passes

Grimpen, do gaming w 'Dad, people are sending me pictures of bears': Baldur's Gate 3 boss Swen Vincke 'wasn't ready' for the bear sex scene to go so viral

People obsess over the weirdest things. Just need to develop broader hobbies, instead of obsessing over video games. Like maybe read some Governor-General literary awards winning novels. Yeah.

Rodsterlings_cig, do gaming w Disco Elysium for $12 may be the best $12 you ever spend on games in your life

A friendly reminder that the creators in the past have asked those interested in the game to pirate it instead, though of course I do not endorse such activities.

Gotcha. I'm definitely not about to fire up qBittorrent right now and use it, because that would be illegal.

Rodsterlings_cig, (edited )

I would also definitely not seed anything as well, especially when utilizing a VPN.

vogi, do games w Hideo Kojima says MGS2 was never about AI 'but rather a future I didn't desire' of data gaining a will of its own and 'unfortunately we're heading there'

can somebody please confirm to me that he looks like japanese keanu reeves in the interview?

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

Keanu Reeves looks like a canadian Hideo Kojima, can confirm.

Credibly_Human, do games w It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it

The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.

Phegan, do games w Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead'

Biggest fumble in ARPG gaming in a minute.

TipRing,

Maybe they will ask their fans if they have phones.

genuinely devastating. one of the finest creatives around :(

Speculater, do games w Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post
@Speculater@lemmy.world avatar

“I’m 39 and a single dad to three girls with special needs, but five years ago I quit my job and started pursuing my lifelong dream of being a game developer. This metroidvania styled RPG with roguelite elements is my dream come true. Here’s a short clip of the gameplay.”

Shitty 8-bit sprites jiggle on the screen

Reddit: OMG! I’m literally crying right now as I buy this. It’s so good!

SoleInvictus,

I see you too are familiar with Heart Forth Alicia.

tal, do games w Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post

The clear blend of cynicism and resignation in replies to the Reddit thread about the deleted Trap Plan post clearly illustrate how widely pervasive these practices are perceived to be.

I mean, back when professional game reviewing was more of a thing, game publishers used to do things like take said reviewers on outings and stuff to influence them, give them free copies, whatever. Marketers trying to subvert information flow isn’t something that suddenly showed up with social media.

bobgobbler,

Silly all of them lol

mrnarwall, do games w Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post

This confirms what I expected. I thought I was going crazy the first time I saw an ask reddit repost and I recognized all the top answers. Eventually they bots will outnumber the users and dead Internet theory will prevail

There are definitely pockets of reddit that don’t have their content flooded with bots, but they are the exception in today’s day and age. I especially enjoy the college football subreddit, as there still isn’t quite something similar on lemmy

krashmo,

Lemmy has those communities, they’re just small and not very active comparatively

Ashtear,

A lot of the sports subs’ better content is instant reaction. Harder to fake. The only participation I still have on reddit is a similar community for a large video game. It’s more like a chatroom than a message board. Small wonder I spend way more time talking on Discord than anywhere these days.

ampersandrew, do games w Capcom doubles down on its decision to go pay-per-view during the Street Fighter League despite the fact that nobody really likes it
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

As one Reddit commenter put it: “I thought Capcom organised this circuit as a marketing tool for the game. Makes no sense to charge viewers to watch it. And esports is, unfortunately, still way too niche for that to be profitable.”

It’s shooting themselves in the foot, not their audience. Their audience has plenty of Street Fighter tournaments to watch.

NarrativeBear, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

Lawsuit incoming…?

Tm12,

From who? They funded the Epstein Ballroom.

nfreak,

Microsoft declining to comment may as well be a confession that they gave this shit the go-ahead

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know what’s worse, that Microsoft may have given them the go-ahead or that they did it knowing Microsoft would be too scared to say something.

harmbugler,

You already know they didn’t ask permission.

jimmux,
@jimmux@programming.dev avatar

Can you imagine if MS did say something, and Trump immediately decided to replace all their products in government with Apple alternatives? You know he would.

nfreak,
@nfreak@lemmy.ml avatar

Equally disgusting tbh. Boycott for life for sure.

cyberpunk007,

Probably. Trump will probably sue Microsoft for stealing his battle suit for video games.

Tracaine, do games w Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title'

Where is Black and White 3, Peter? Tell me and the curses will stop.

kibiz0r,

Is the IP still trapped in legal limbo?

Passerby6497,

Just call it ‘Gray and Dark Gray’, pick different animals and call it a day

voracitude,
echodot,

Call it Gray and Grey

Really confuse the issue.

Passerby6497,

One of them is the color grey, they other is named Gray

In the US call it Gray and Grey, but in the UK localize the title to Grey and Gray

Karyoplasma,

B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.

SaharaMaleikuhm, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered… yet.

Sabata11792,

They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.

Bennyboybumberchums, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

So, just the same soulless cash grabs as usual going forward?

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Soulless cash grab with a healthy veneer of jingoism and plenty of toxic masculinity.

You’ll play your Muscle Man Beats Up The Evil Foreigners game, you’ll pay top dollar for it, and if you’re lucky you’ll get a loot box with a Trump/MBS NFT in it.
