DoucheBagMcSwag, do games w Microsoft is combining “the best of Xbox and Windows together” for handhelds

Get an Xbox PC app for Steam Deck then, Microsoft.

MrScottyTay,

I’m going to imagine Xbox would love to. But Microsoft is stopping them. They’d stop android and ios too if they still had windows phone.

pycorax,

You missed the part where Microsoft had better apps on Android and iOS during the W10M period. Satya never cared for Windows Phone once he became CEO.

Sylvartas, do games w Take-Two is selling its indie games label Private Division

Any IP escaping Take Two’s claws is good news

NRay7882,

Unknown buyer, what if it’s TenCent?

otp, do games w California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it

Do they need “buy” or “purchase”? All they need is “pay”, and nobody would notice.

Ephera,

I would still imagine that has a very different psychological effect. Nobody wants to click a “pay”-button…

RvTV95XBeo,

Shopping cart icon, and “checkout”

otp,

People will click whatever’s stopping them from the dopamine hit of adding a game they’re probably not going to play to their library.

It’d be even harder to stop someone who actually WANTS to play the game they’re paying for! Lol

“get” or “acquire” or “add to collection” or “snag”… or any other vomit inducing roundabout corporate speak

jherazob, do gaming w Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair
@jherazob@beehaw.org avatar

Somebody was suggesting this was deliberately done to bleed Pocketpair out of money and halt development that way, patent cases take years to be solved, and all during this time they have to keep paying lawyers. Nintendo likely has a small army of in-house lawyers so it’s no trouble to them, but to their victims it’s life-ruining.

Varyag,

Yeah except Palworld has joined Sony for their multimedia franchise, so potentially they can get a lot of monetary and legal support from that. Nintendo took way too long to actually do this frivolous lawsuit.

Let them fight.

blindsight,

They also sold 5 million copies in 3 days, and who knows how many copies since then. They can afford to pay good IP lawyers for a long time, if needed.

Vodulas, do gaming w Here are all the games enhanced by PS5 Pro
antithetical, do games w Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

So far I’ve traded in all my Playstations for the latest versions. But this price-hike and no disc-drive are a dealbreaker. Guess I’m going for a new gaming PC and a Steam Deck now. Too bad Sony, you messed up.

jprice, do gaming w Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and launching a new “Standard” tier

Perfect timing, just when Xbox is lagging in sales. Typical shit Microsoft.

Hdcase,

Surely this will turn things around for them 🙄

AceSLS, do gaming w Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and launching a new “Standard” tier

To the serprise of: absolutely noone

rustyfish, do games w Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio
@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

Microsoft is really rimjobbing that kafkaesque.

FractalsInfinite, do games w Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well

I thought that would happen the moment I saw suyu uses only a discord server. Shame they didn’t use matrix or even IRC

They still should, it would be a great way to highlight how futile Nintendo's efforts are. Unfortunately, there's a good chance they'll just forget about doing live communication like this anymore.

mlg, do games w Nvidia’s finally replacing GeForce Experience with this all-in-one ‘Nvidia app’ - The Verge
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

I never realized how stupid GeForce Experience was until I built a PC for someone and realized I’d have to explain to them that they need to register an account on a special software just to keep their GPU driver updated.

Even with the insanity of Nvidia on linux, all I have to do is sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia once and let dnf handle updates automatically.

PonyOfWar, do gaming w You should play Splatoon with your family: Why touch grass alone when you can pretend to be squids together?

I’d love to play it with my niece and nephew if the game had a split screen mode. Not going to happen if they need a Switch and a copy of the game each.

SteleTrovilo,

Splatoon 1 actually had local multiplayer - it was 2-player only, but for those of us with kids, it was good enough. Split screen multiplayer in Splatoon 2/3 would’ve been great.

Yokozuna, do games w Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed
@Yokozuna@lemmy.world avatar

Years back I was part of a focus group for VR and one of the questions they asked me was how accepting I would be of ads in game and well they got the most heated response from me with that one.

Are_Euclidding_Me, do gaming w Ubisoft blames ‘technical error’ for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed
@Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net avatar

Ubisoft says it was trying to put an ad for Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games. However, a “technical error” caused the promotion to show up on in-game menus instead. Ubisoft says the issue has since been fixed

So they fully planned to roll out full screen pop up ads, it was just supposed to be in the main menu, not in-game. Fuckers.

This is why I don’t play AAA games.

starryoccultist, do games w Read Xbox chief Phil Spencer’s memo welcoming Activision Blizzard employees to Microsoft
@starryoccultist@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This is absurd… they made a trailer for their corporate merger: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYU4q594LJ0

“Look at all the games you love! Please forget we’re a massive corporation which just moved 70 billion dollars closer to a monopoly and would certainly never abuse that position uwu”

Boiglenoight,

That was awesome. I imagine if I worked for Activision Blizzard, that knowledge of Bobby Kotick leaving plus that welcome video would give me some feels.
