It’s claimed that in addition to exploiting its dominant position, Sony bans other potential app stores from having access to the PlayStation platform.

It would be fascinating if this lawsuit forces Sony to open their platform to 3rd party stores. I am assuming they would be far more opposed to this than even any multi-hundred million euro fines.

That’s a compelling review. I will have to check it out.

I am surprised I’ve never heard of the game before, it’s been out since 2019.

Except for the fact that the CEO wasn’t fired even though he made a comically lazy and incompetent mistake (going on a buying spree before confirming that the investment would go through).

I wasn’t aware. He is stepping down, but only after the company will be split into 3 parts.

Funny stuff!

Never heard about this one. Thanks for sharing!

From the Risks and challenges section of their Kickstarter:

We understand that backing a Kickstarter campaign carries a certain level of risk for our backers. With our seasoned team at the helm, we’ve meticulously planned every aspect of the game’s development to adhere to strict budgets and timelines, all while prioritizing the best player experience possible.

Our extensive network of trusted studios and partners further fortifies our ability to deliver on our promises and ensure the utmost quality for our project. Your support means the world to us, and we’re dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction throughout this journey.

Why didn’t they include the point about needing additional investment beyond their Kickstarter target for the project to be viable?

Volunteer PR work (including knowingly spreading misinformation) is extremely common for all fanboys, it’s a Nintendo specific thing.

EDIT: I meant to say it’s not a Nintendo only/specific thing. It’s true of all hardcore fanboys, even outside of game.

This is a long series article on gacha. This is the third or the fourth one.

I can understand using a more broad definition of MMO due to changes in the market.

Diablo 1 and 2 were totally fine. There was no trash monetiziation around them (haven’t played the remaster of D2, so can’t speak for it).

Is the “tool assist” not buying it in the first place? 😅

Agent_Karyo, 3 miesiące temu

A very good point. :)

I like the graphics on this one. While I am a hardcore logistics/tycoon nerd, I do sometimes enjoy somewhat more casual experiences. :)

Some nice screenshot, I thought Fallout 76 looked like shit for some reason. Could just be my impression from the launch.

I was hoping this delayed the Cube movie from 1997.

How does it compare to Uplink in terms of gameplay. Uplink was the best simulation style hacking game that I’ve played.

Agent_Karyo, 3 miesiące temu

Agreed. Realism is honestly not needed (although it’s cool that we have such games). You need good gameplay and atmosphere and ambience that give you the feeling of being in a different world so to speak.

100 % of proceeds are transferred automatically to the Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation, one of Ukraine’s largest and most trusted NGOs.

This is a very reputable charity organisation. Serhiy Prytula is a well known comedian in Ukraine who has been working on charity work since the full scale invasion.

If you have more than $8 to spare there is also “Come back alive”:

Thank you!

The feedback from the demo was really good.

Perhaps the change in style relative to the first one caught some people off guard.

I would say let’s wait till there are more reviews.

I am planning to get to this soon. I loved Project Highrise.

A lot of the negative reviews are about the game not being like RI1 (although there are other complaints too).

RI1 was pretty simply if you have have experience with tycoon/logistics games.

Cool stuff! Curious about how voting on new rules is going to work out.

I would like to request the following communities to be added to the sidebar:

• !tycoon - Tycoon and business sim/management games.
• !citybuilders - City-builder and base-builder style games.
• !crpg - Mostly computer/PC RPG news and discussion, but all RPG adjacent discussions are welcome.

Disclaimer: I mod/curate two of these communities and contribute a lot to citybuilders.

That being said, I contribute to games@lemmy.world as well. :)

I like the daily screen posts even though I don’t play console at all.

It adds a positive vibe to the community.

Can you roleplay as a raging alcoholic?

Just passing out everywhere, getting into fights and acting all fucked up.

Heard about this on Reddit.

In the last two months I’ve been walking a lot more (aiming for 30K steps over day, although my average has been closer to 20K).

Will have to check this out.

Surprised compliance with the principles was as high as it was.
