thingsiplay, w PAYDAY 3 will use Denuvo anti-piracy technology in its PC version
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

@GamerKick Game is dead on arrival. There was rumors before the would be always online. Which at least most (not all!) people would have ignored, because this is an online focused game. But Denuvo? As if the masses would pirate an online focused game, that is online only anyway. I don't get this. Hopefully they will remove Denuvo after some time, like some other devs/publishers do.

Is piracy really such an issue for the PC Gaming industry? They must have some data we don't know. Why would they pay millions of Dollars otherwise?

Mostly because it looks good for the suits and investors, and since it doesn't actually seem to hurt their sales that much (hint hint)

@Raji_Lev Imagine putting the money into actual development or some online infrastructure. Oh wait, that would make sense. Yeah, not gonna happen.

It's digital snake oil.

Products or services that act as fig leaves for C-suites are a growth industry.

TheAndrewBrown, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot
@TheAndrewBrown@lemmy.world avatar

Game of Thrones was the most popular show in the world not too long ago and is more complicated. House of the Dragon is also complicated and did well just last year. There have been tons of complicated dramas that have been popular. This is just a dumb excuse

Contramuffin, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

Sounds like sour grapes and rationalization. The producer states that his complicated projects failed. If all of your complicated projects failed, then it may be that you struggle with making complicated projects, not that Americans don’t like complicated projects.

Plus, it sounds like he disproves his own point without realizing it. He simplified the Witcher and it still isn’t doing well. Isn’t that an indicator that maybe plot complexity isn’t as strong of a predictor of audience engagement as he thinks?

2pt_perversion,

And yet Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are both in the same fantasy genre with complex storylines and they did great in the US.

Challenger, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

When asked what he believed to be significant for younger people, Baginski replied: “Just emotions. Just pure emotions. A bare emotional mix. Those people grew up on TikTok and YouTube, they jump from video to video.”

So basically It’s Gen Z that he couldn’t create an interesting plot from the source material

Evil_Shrubbery, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

Sooo … are we getting some blonde royal witch that lost her kingdome to ride a dragon (flying unicorn?) & genocide a bit in the next series?

The previous time around we got some really top level memery out of it … tho it would be will be a shame with this one :/

Captain_Ender, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

He's really blaming the execs and showrunner between the lines I think. Saying she had to "make tough decisions" means "she fucked up". It's Netflix and the showrunner who think they need to go to the lowest common denominator with scripts to appeal to Americans, especially hard fantasy/sci-fi. So he's kinda pissed at both groups really not just audiences.

It's a shame because other works like GOT 1-5 show the opposite. Go for complex, go for the source material, and audiences will be patient for it.

@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

Then blame execs and showrunners, not the audience. American audiences are savvier than he thinks, just because he had one pitch that didn't fare well with American audiences doesn't mean that they won't embrace more complicated elements of The Witcher.

Plus it just sounds sad; blame audiences for something you, as a producer, can't effectively produce.

masterspace,

He wasn’t showrunner, just EP on 16 episodes, and he can’t burn the showrunner or Netflix if he wants more work in the industry.

Madison_rogue,
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

I didn't say he was a showrunner.

ImaginaryFox, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

How? Aren't they the ones in charge? American audiences have as much influence on the product they chose to deliver as Americans did for Dark. Great show by the way.

RaoulDook,

Dark and 1899 were both great. 1899 got canceled already though, because the Netflix people are stupid.

c0mput0r,

1899 was garbage and can't even be compared to Dark. Dark was so much better.

ASprigOfSage, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

Yup cause Amaricans wrote the script and decided against the millions of of fans (including the lead actor) who specifically said the new direction sucked directly to the entire production team… yup amaricans.

It’s always smart to bite the hand that feeds you.

bl4ckblooc, w The Witcher producer blames Americans and social media for Netflix series' simplified plot

This is coming from someone who never even read the books and got in fights with HC because of deviating from the world of the books/games?

ampersandrew, w Electronic Arts interested in making more Star Wars Jedi games
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

It would be great if they were interested in making them without an always online requirement. I bought Fallen Order on sale for $4 and still felt ripped off.

Is Denuvo one of ones that works on linux? If not I'll be sticking to payday 2.

No problems using it with proton from what i know, but i still dislike denuvo.

Nioxic, w Former Riot, Blizzard Devs Reveal Teaser For Competitive Shooter Inspired By Anime And Comics

Im sorry. But i do think that the market for competitive shooters is a bit too saturated?

Cs2 arrive soon as well. Lol.

Overwatch going down hill…

@0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social avatar

I don't know anything about the market, but I was really in to Overwatch for a while. It went downhill when they basically abandoned the first game and then came out with a second to flip the business model to battle pass bs.

I'd be down for something new to fill its spot and this looks like it could be it
