Interesting thoughts about how to define success for video games in today’s market, particularly for those using early access. Lots of respect for Hooded Horse’s CEO, Tim Bender, he says all the right things and seems genuine....
Yeah, Rimworld was in early access for 5 years and was worth the price the entire time IMO. Project Zomboid has been in early access for over a decade! If you just blanket ignore early access games you’re cutting yourself off from some excellent games.
At least the police haven’t gotten involved yet unlike the case of the police in the UK actually spending money and resources investigating a rape that took place in a VR game
🚩🚩🚩
Police in the UK are investigating the simulated sexual assault of a real child that happened through VR. The child had no reason to expect this was going to happen. You don’t have to be touched to be sexually harassed, which is a crime.
Maybe you would like to explain why it’s important to be able to simulate sexually assaulting a real child in VR and why the police shouldn’t investigate that.
Why are you explaining what the law about rape is to me when you are the one and only person in this thread claiming it is being investigated as a rape? It isn’t. Repeating it over and over without citation isn’t going to make it true.
It also doesn’t change that sexual harassment is a crime. They don’t get a free pass to say whatever creepy shit they want to a child just because they stopped short of rape.
It’s bullying at the very most.
Could you confirm for me right quick that you’re saying simulating the rape of a child in VR isn’t sexual harassment? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
Almost none of the profit made off AAA games goes to the people actually creating the game. They don’t get a bonus if the new Madden makes $10 mil more than the old one. You’re tossing hundreds at the CEOs and saying it’s worth it if the devs get a few pennies.
Many of them probably aren’t even at the same studio anymore by the time you’re buying the game.
I’ve been watching a few streamers play this game, and the pixel art animations are honestly amazing. Every time a new cut scene is triggered it’s just delightful to watch.
I’ve had a great time playing some of the ‘smaller’ games lately: Dredge (adore this game so much), Dave the Diver, Cloudpunk, Stray, Octopath II, Observer....
Have you heard of Hardspace: Shipbreaker? If anything it’s the opposite of a crafting-building game, it’s a disassembly game! It’s set in space and has a nice plot about corporate greed. And you have to manage your oxygen in space, so arguably it’s like diving, haha.
Another game I liked that’s made by a small studio is Carrion. You play as a The Thing-esque monster that has to kill, grow, and solve different puzzles to escape the lab it was created in. Very gory but fun.
