vga, 21 dni temu do games w Valve block Steam game with queer art in Russia after state censor attacks it for “promoting non-traditional sexualities”

To simplify things a bit: companies exist to make money, that’s their prime directive. Governments exist to make and enforce rules.

If Steam is allowed to operate freely in Russia, the government is not doing its job.

BurgerBaron, miesiąc temu (edited miesiąc temu) do gaming w Saints Row's original design director is pitching a "grounded" 70s open world prequel with absolutely no dildobats

If the 70’s idea is more grounded with the apathetic humor mixed in like 2 then I’m mildly interested.

He’s referring to the first game though which really is a just okay when it came out budget GTA clone.

Blaster_M, 2 miesiące temu do games w Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed

Controversial take: FH5 is entertaining, and the weeklys are a challenge to knock out every time.

Except for when The Trial decides to run The Colossus as one of the races. I’ll just grind the 5pointers instead, it’s quicker.

I enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.

Aceticon, 3 miesiące temu do games w GOG shares their thoughts on preservation in the face of payment processor crackdowns

Here in Europe, GOG support pretty much all the local payment systems (they’ll make available as selection the ones for your country on checkout) most of which are pretty straightforward to use nowadays an even come integrated with the banking phone apps.

Personally I switched from Paypal to one of those on my GOG purchases due to the whole censorship debacle.

PS: Steam is the same, by the way.

thesmokingman, 3 miesiące temu do games w Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec

Pete Hines didn’t fucking properly value developers. I don’t buy this shit at fucking all. Mandatory crunch, shitty benefits, and terrible consumer practices were par for the course during his whole tenure. Since I don’t see him out on the union front donating all his fucking blood money this is just a different way of saying “Pete Hines and other executives aren’t making enough money off residuals from a subscription model.” Bethesda (and ZeniMax) was a shitty place to work that conned devs into getting fucked because Bethesda. He can fuck right off with this shit.

Devs haven’t been properly valued in decades and subscription models are nothing new.

Zahille7, 4 miesiące temu do games w "Multiple" future Hardspace projects are coming, as Hardspace: Shipbreaker devs Blackbird Interactive take full ownership

I just liked taking things apart, so I hope there’s just more of that. Maybe even bigger ships we can work on? And modded ships, so people could make stuff like the Millennium Falcon, the Serenity, or even the Rocinante; maybe even bigger than those?

Jeffool, 4 miesiące temu

As much as I’d love the ability to have mods, and I’d love that, I’d love multiplayer even more.

Both of these are very good ideas.

Getting multiplayer to work well sounds like a very real challenge, given that the physics are complicated enough to slow the game to a crawl when a core blows.

As long as I have to be “mostly dead” a few dozen times before I can survive the easiest fight, I am happy.

Remember the first time I played I went to fight a goat and got absolutely brutalized. I loved kenshi, but I can understand why some didn’t. Building a huge base a pumping out hash was my crowning achievement. Then the religious freaks showed up and my tower guys killed everyone. Later I found some band of 30 mis-programed bots that I would take with me and they killed anything around me. Ahh…such a great game.
