Hiccup, w Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report

I’m blown away that they even think this is less controversial or a solution. Brain dead company should cease to exist. I’m totally fine with no new games made with unity.

Lojcs, (edited )

Reminder that the unity ceo once suggested they (apparently he was at ea at the time) could start charging players money for reloading guns hours into a game once the player gets invested enough.

echodot,

These guys are cartoonishly evil. But also completely lacking in any actual common sense.

They literally never seem to think more than one step ahead, it’s pathetic. Sure they might gain some money by screwing everybody over short-term, but long-term they’re going to lose millions when everyone abandons their game/platform for something else. Look at Blizzard, classic example, they’ve screwed themselves over by trying to screw the customer over, they would have made more money if they just kept Overwatch one going.

Rentlar,

I can see it being part of a “announce an outrageously awful thing, settle for doing something bad instead” scheme.

ConditionOverload, w Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag can’t be bought on Steam due to a “technical issue”, not an incoming remake, Ubisoft insists
@ConditionOverload@lemmy.world avatar

Weird to think it was because of a remake. The game isn’t old and still holds up very well.

GreenMario,

Last of Us part 1 remake says hi

mateomaui,

Yeah but the original wasn’t on PC for TLoU

Virkkunen,
@Virkkunen@kbin.social avatar

They didn't remake the game so they could port it to PC, they did it so they could sell more banking on the triple dippers

mateomaui,

Both is correct.

I mean if you don’t understand that they’ve ported or remade their PS exclusives to PC because they also wanted a new untapped player base that didn’t own playstations, I don’t know what to tell you, brah.

Endorkend, (edited )
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

It's not weird to think as the remake being in the works has been reported many months before they pulled the game from Steam.

It's a decade old and big studios are creatively bankrupt, so they just love simple redoing old shit and reusing the old work.

Skyrim wasn't the game that started this shit, but it sure was what popularized it with studios.

Daefsdeda,

It holds up well until you try to run it. Terrible issues on PC they never fixed…

ConditionOverload,
@ConditionOverload@lemmy.world avatar

Weird, I don’t get those issues on my PC. I usually install it every year at least once to play through it.

Daefsdeda,

I think it can go one of two ways. Either it runs fine

Or you need windows 98 compatibility mode, change some ini setting, set physx or whatever its called to off and be finally able to play.

Then see yourself standing in your ships boundaries, unable to move. This all happened to me and I just stopped playing.

It did play well a few years back but that was on windows 8.

I just miss the sport games of 10-20 years ago. They were just fun. Of course they weren't perfect but we didn't care. Now microtransactions have ruined everything....

weirdo_from_space,

Good sports games are still made, they just don’t have the offical roster… out of the box.

Xariphon, w Last Epoch - Meet Diablo 4 and Path of Exile's biggest rival, an ARPG designed and built by Redditors

$35 Early Access with unfinished story but polished cash shop really shows you where the devs priorities are.

MonkCanatella,

Give it a try on the high seas. I did and I ended up buying it because it really is that good. I never interacted with a cash shop in my entire time playing

fushuan,

… On the story. Their priority is the story. The cash shop is quite recent and the time it takes to develop isn’t even in the same universe as story content. Story content requires developing new zones, new enemy types, voice acting… They spent tons of time developing multiplayer, that’s a huge undertaking by itself where they are improving constantly. They just reworked some quests and remade the tylesets of some campaign zones. Developing the cash shop can’t have been more than 5% of the time they spent developing last year.

Either you don’t know about development in general, you are blinded by rage with the drama they had with the release of the cash shop (which they reworked) or you are being malicious. I’m guessing 1 or 2.

yuri,

I’ve seen early access games that go their entire dev cycle without adding real-cash shops. this pervasive idea that microtransactions are just an acceptable thing in any new game has me absolutely incredulated.

it doesn’t matter how long it takes to develop, putting a cash shop in an unfinished game is a bad move optics wise.

fushuan,

it doesn’t matter how long it takes to develop, putting a cash shop in an unfinished game is a bad move optics wise.

Sure, but the game already has content enough to be a good single player experience for 35€ so w/e.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

It’s also lacking. I come back every few updates but the game isn’t very good. It’s no Torchlight 2 or Grim Dawn.

Huh? Wasn’t that literally one of the original goals of Stadia. You’d watch someone play a game and you’d be able to launch the same game at the place where you paused the video.

hightrix,

Shhhh. You are supposed to have forgotten about Stadia.

Now, here’s googles brand new tech! YouTubia!

philycheezestake,

Apparently this is focusing on more simple arcade/mobile style games, although that could just be for the trial period.

li10, w Baldur's Gate 3 has ruined Starfield for me

In comparison to BG3, the dialogue and stories are incredibly bland in Starfield.

If you don’t compare it to BG3 though, then the dialogue and stories are still incredibly bland.

I swear every Bethesda game does this. For example, when you get three dialogue options, they all say basically the same thing, and they all set up the player to be dunked on by the NPCs response…

Or the only options are:

“wow! Incredible! I love kittens, good on ya kid!”

Or

“You don’t wanna mess with me, I’ll kill you.”

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

At least the stories were pretty good for the most part. Starfield’s story and lore are just so generic and boring, and the dialogue ranges from corny to just flatout awful. Even compared to previous Bethesda games, the story elements in Starfield are a yawn fest that feel like they were written by history majors and not people who love science fiction.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

BG3 has very bad writing as well.

alekks09,

Can you elaborate more on this a tad more?

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

Very short responses.

Very little dialog depth.

Pretty bad story.

It’s very clear of the rewrites after Chris A. was ejected.

I interviewed with the Pokémon Company recently, and their benefits were the absolute #1 I’ve seen of any enterprise level company. If I get the gig I doubt I’d ever leave. I mean, these are CEO level benefit packages for mid-level (minus the goofball CEO golden parachute).

Firipu,
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

Could you share some? I’d be interested to see how they stack up to eg Google, ms or any of the other large tech companies.

Pistcow,

$1 to $1 401k match to max IRS, no vesting period. The highest I’ve ever seen was 10% match.

$0 insurance for individual 90% covered for family.

20 days starting annual pto.

Bonus schedule.

Some other stuff.

The tech companies do back ended vesting periods to own you for 4 years.

kboy101222,

Gawd dayum those are amazing benefits. Even the cushy government job I interviewed for didn’t have benefits that good

Pistcow,

This was for a contract worker, too, that could extend or convert after 12 months.

Firipu,
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

Decent stuff. From an EU pov, pretty standard though. Aside from the vesting period. That’s pretty sweet.

Pistcow,

F-35’s or maternity leave, you don’t get both…Yeah, lot of the EU has it right.

Urbanfox,

You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.

I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.

This isn’t even a senior level position, it’s bottom level. Seniors get way more.

Taokan,

And an EA account. And agreement to a 3rd party EULA with EA. For a single player game. That’s some real “we’re gonna sell you microtransactions later” energy out of a 60 dollar release.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I need to really want to play a game to make an account outside of whatever launcher I’m using, and that’s just not true here.
