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

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

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.

NiaTheCat, (edited ) do games w Kevin Afghani is Mario's New Voice Actor
@NiaTheCat@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I had to do some digging on the name since almost every search engine was just throwing articles like this when trying to find a voice clip of him, he voices the statue “Arnold” in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZz37olVf I think his voice will be pretty good to adapt to Mario. Here’s his IMDb page www.imdb.com/name/nm12041073/

That youtube video is gone… I’m guessing it’s “Ask me for directions Arnold”, right? That’s the only Arnold I can think of in GI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZz37olVfI

That’s actually awesome for Kevin Afghani because he was a lot of fun in this role. Hoping to see more of his work in the future.

Okalaydokalay, do games w Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers

It shouldn’t be when they were talking about making that shit retroactive for games that were already released. Unity proved they cannot be trusted. Besides, developers should move to other engines for the sole reason of sending a message to the other guys in the industry like Epic’s Unreal Engine. Pull shit like this and you’ll lose out on the developers. Make them realize that Unity was a failed experiment and no one wants to be like them.

mycodesucks, do games w Microsoft’s Phil Spencer says acquiring Nintendo would be ‘a career moment’

They already tried to acquire them once and were laughed out of the meeting.

https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-wanted-to-buy-nintendo-145746874.html

Sure, buying Nintendo would be a win for Microsoft, but Nintendo would gain absolutely nothing from the deal. Sure, there are people like myself who loudly and rightfully complain about Nintendo's business practices, but at the end of the day, it took until THIS year for Playstation 5 to finally outsell them in a single year, and they're not even CLOSE to matching total unit sales, and Xbox is doing worse than THAT. Add to that Nintendo's software attach rate, and as much as I don't like HOW they do their business, they're WILDLY successful at it and making more money as a function of their costs than anyone else in the industry, so they can't be faulted for continuing to do what is working.

I honestly don't know what Phil Spencer thinks would be different than the previous meeting in another sales proposal today, especially given Microsoft's INCREDIBLY weakened industry market position compared to Nintendo's. Microsoft is only able to approach the idea from a position of power based on its market capitalization funded by its other businesses - in the gaming industry, Nintendo simply occupies the more advantageous market position.

deegeese, do gaming w Unity cancels town hall over reported death threats

Public event cancelled due to death threats from Unity employee to Unity Corporate.

Maybe a sympathy ploy for good PR and to give an excuse to cancel a town hall that would have gone badly.

QuentinCallaghan,
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

I was thinking exactly the same, and the reason was “alleged threats”.

QuentinCallaghan,
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

And apparently you were right, as reported by Polygon (archive.ph/KcdoZ)

Update: San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

eleanor, do gaming w Microsoft Teams is now part of the Xbox Game Bar so you can stream gameplay to friends - The Verge

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

lustyargonian, do gaming w Microsoft Teams is now part of the Xbox Game Bar so you can stream gameplay to friends - The Verge

This is for msft employees working on game bar who can’t use discord on work computer.
