scrubbles, do trains w Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern merging under 85 billion deal
!deleted6348 avatar

Fully agree. In a civilized modern country the government would own the rails (because, I mean obviously it would) and operators would put out timetables and requests for trains - all managed by the government. Just like the UK and most other countries, the government is in charge of maintaining the rails, keeping them safe, and expansion, while the operators do what they do best - they manage their schedules and try to squeeze the most profit out of it.

It’s a win-win, private industry doesn’t have to worry about safety or maintenance beyond their own vehicles, they work with the government on scheduling, and passenger rail would get a resurgence because adding new train lines and stops would just be a matter of starting a new operator.

If you thought of a new commuter line that you think would benefit a region, it wouldn’t be trying to convince Amtrak to do it - you could literally raise the money and start your own operator, lease some vehicles, and then literally just start running your train line operated on government tracks. Just as the semis do on the interstate system, just like airlines do.

I think the rails should be owned by the US, but they could be operators on those rails. Like in the UK, or how our airlines work

And by not offending anyone, they instead bore everyone with their flat dialogue

You can really tell Ubisoft sends all dialogue through multiple committees before approving it.

In fact, Ubisoft recently blamed Star Wars’ flagging brand reputation as one reason for the game’s financial failure.

God be less self-aware Ubisoft. You built a boring game with the same mechanics as all of your other AC games, and you gave it the emotional maturity of a child’s blanket. You aren’t going to be raking in money if you’re too afraid to have a story that has any emotional depth.

Yeah refuse to believe it’s real until it’s in my hands. Markets and suits want us to be hyped, but I’ve been fooled before.

scrubbles, do games w The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise

Even if it was good, the formula you mentioned has been done to death. Every game they make is that. Then they say how can we possibly make an RDR2 level game, and I think to that and there was a game where honestly the gameplay was pretty repetitive - but you don’t notice because the story is so good that of course you want to keep going.

But they make these bland corporate characters with boring stories and take absolutely zero risks because what if we offend one person in Ohio - and then it sells like crap. You try to make it for everyone, you made it for no one

Why would we be excited or happy about this? They can still cancel it at any moment. It’s not real until it’s released.

I did, it says historically, we don’t have that confirmed right now. Yes, it might be happening, but we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. There are a few reports, it isn’t a scandal. (yet)

This is pretty standard though, I worked in computer repairs and warranties for a long time. No one covers water damage unless you pay extra for it. Water resistant does not mean water proof, and it gets wet it’s still like any other electronic

It’s locked into the Xbox ecosystem. Even if it can be changed, which I assume they’re going to work really hard to not allow with steamos being so easy, most would simply give up before trying something else

The sad thing is that a few dozen people will buy it no matter the price, and will have a thousand dollar piece of e-waste when Microsoft decides to kill it off

scrubbles, do gaming w European game publisher group responds to Stop Killing Games, claims 'These proposals would curtail developer choice"
!deleted6348 avatar

So tone deaf, and clearly they’re just trying to steer the narrative.

They call out that it’s never taken lightly and it has to happen. We know. Stop killing games just says you have to do something when you turn off the servers. Either release the server source code so it can be engineered by the community, release a self hostage server alternative, even just documents or guides on how to get started.

But they’re going to try to make it about the mean old gamers want them to go broke
