They already wanted to do it, but didn’t want to take the blame for it. With a vocal minority now voicing concerns, they jumped on the occasion.
So why now rather than when that group started voicing their oppoaition ? Well, if they did earlier they had to deal with a liberal federal government that probably would have intervened in the name of free market, but now with a conservative fed government, they have free reign to impose regressive view on about anyone.
As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago
Even if mostly useless, not doing anything is even more useless. At least that petition shows support for changes, which may influence some executive to rethink what they think is acceptable from their userbase.
and using the full name of the diagnosis instead of contracted nouns helps avoid using slurs and/or dehumanising the patent.
You’ve got a typo there. Unless you can prove that said person was indeed diagnosed with such disability by an appropriate medical authority, let’s not use such term that could either be considered defamation, or at least medical disinformation. (/i)
People say what they intend to say, not what you wish them to. If you believe they are incorrect, no need to be pedantic about it. Just argue why, you’d find out people are way more open to arguments when they do not feel like you are condidering them as idiots.
He is not. But he is a regular, who posts hight quality content most of the time, and is well known for that.
So which side would we chose? A random guy trying to gatekeep for some personal reason a valid content, or someone who consistently post high quality content, participate in the community while, with some exception, consistently respecting the rules?
Such a difficult question…
I realized I probably badly explained my point here. I will not act differently for someone well known in the community or someone new. The rules are the rules.
The unwelcome behaviour here is the gatekeeping. Videos are welcome, as are links to article or plain text posts.
3 More Days until a Year! Today’s game is Sea of Thieves. I figured I took a screenshot of some fish and jellyfish i saw in the water today and thought “Why the hell not, let’s see if i can keep this fish train going”. The fish in this one are far more cartoony, which is to be expected for Sea of Thieves. They’re a...
4 Days until a year! We’re getting close! Today’s game is some more The Last of Us. I made my way through the Hotel level and found a Fish. I didn’t know there were fish in this game. It’s a really pretty fish. It made me consider this games water too, and on my Water Scale i’ve decided to give it a 7/10. It can look...
Honestly I liked a lot Subnautica 1, and despite the leadership change, still look forward to Subnautica 2. Better juge on the product than on internet dramas.
You are trying to portray a black and white picture about a situation we all know little about. It’s word for word, and in such case it be hard to give more credits to either party.
I heard that there is a lawsuit brewing, maybe this will give us more objective informations.
In the meantime, the only way to see if either the founders or Krafton vision would be the best would be to release the EA, even with the lack of content Krafton is complaining about. Like that we would be able to make our own conclusion.
I would not ignore if Krafton do betray UW employees. But I also take into account that for now it is word for word, and depending on which side you believe, both sides can be sided with.
If the three ousted exec did abandon their responsibility as Krafton said, their dismissal is justified. If not and that’s a way to not pay the promissed bonus, then a boycot is justified.
There isn’t many way to know, other than releasing the EA now. Like that the customer can have and idea of the true state of the game, without having to base its opinion on a bandwagon.
Krafton says that the game isn’t yet worthy of EA. Ousted led dev says that it is. Someone is probably lying here. Only way to put an end to that is to lanch the EA this year, for us to juge if it is enough content or not.
From what I’ve read, that bonus isn’t tied to a specific release, but to an earning target.
Not being able to get to that target is tied to the fact that Subnautica 2 EA should have been a huge cash influx, which now isn’t possible due to the delay, and the only remaining way would have been either a sudden renewed Subnautica 1 and BZ success or for the mobile version to be a incredible success, which I doubt.
Releasing the EA wouldn’t be an “I win button” from UW. It could go both way. Either the current state is enough for user to buy it, and not refund it, or it will be a resounding failure, with huge refund percentages. In the first case, this may allow UW to get to that target, but in the second case, it may in the worst case make the studio go under before Subnautica had any chance to be released completed
You may also like Coffee Talk (1 and 2). Good story, the characters are likable, and it works with controllers, so you can play it on the go with a Deck or anything similar.

For those who wonder, yes, this is OK according to the community rule 6.
Talking about piracy is OK. What is forbidden is directly linking to it. Mainly for legal reason, not because we condemn it.
Nonetheless, OP asked for permission beforehand, which is nice. Authorization was of course given.
I keep my boxes in two cases : the warranty is still valid, or the thing is fragile and has a form that make it hard to find a replacement for (usually large and fragile flat things, like screens).
All the other are waiting to be thrown away, in my garage.
Hello all, this community has always been very accepting of me and offered advice and suggestions trough the development process. Today is the first big sale of the game -35% which makes it under 10 bucks. If you want to get it, now is the time! Thank you for your support - Steam Link
That’s indeed possible, but hard to prove unless you give an archived proof (wayback machine, etc.). AI made creating fake screenshot trivial, so I can’t blame anyone for thinking you may have faked it.
Good read, as always. The link to lego island is broken, on my end at least (it redirects to LW).
For copyright reasons I’d rather it be the link to the decompiled/ported source code rather than directly to the game itself. I doubt they got the 3d models IP owner autorisation to use them, thus falling into the no linking to piracy rule.
Honesty I’d agree that it should be allowed, but the EU has a much more strict rules on fair use than most countries has. And as LW is hosted in the EU, that’s the rule we have to follow.
But the jurisprudence made it clear that source code is considered as ok as soon as it does not contain copyrighted materials (original 3d models, music, etc). That why I’d prefer to link directly to the source code.
And if they have a direct link to the playable version of that game on said repository, that’s not our problem anymore 😅.
Great read, as always. A little broken link on the previous posts section (forgotten “]”).
Nice to see MS decided to make their (remored) pricing quite aggressive. Especially since it is sold with the dock included.
The base Xbox Ally should be as powerfull as the Deck. It is basically the same chip with 5 more watts of TDP, which can easily be done on the OG deck with a little bios mod.
The biggest one will be a serious blow to the Deck as well as other handhelds. The specs are clearly superior on all aspects, while still being very competitive. Depending on the autonomy and how much bloat was removed, I may be really tempted, despite being a pro-Linux… And probably install SteamOS (or Bazzite) as soon as it works on it.
I hope this will prompt Valve to update the Deck to newer hardware, or at least allow to officially tune up the APU power envelope to 20-25W (vs 15W currently), especially when docked, so we can enjoy higher definition gaming without sacrificing too much graphical settings to the Frametime gods (E33 looks kinda bad on the Deck, especially when docked 😂).
As a Switch 1 owner, I’m definitively gonna wait to finish my current Switch backlog, and also probably for the Oled refresh. But since I got my Deck, I barely touched my Switch, so it will probably take a long time 😆.
I knew from the beginning the art vibes where familiar. Then I saw " Spiritfarer", and I knew why 😂.
There is a few game that managed to make me tears, Spirifarer was one of them (along with Gris, Ori, and lately, E33). Yeah, I’m kinda a softy 😂.
That’s an instant buy for me.
There are multiple event right now, showing a lot of new games. So it was kinda expected. I’m considering new rules about that, should be part of the new rules proposed in the community overhaul.
In the meantime, I’ll ask him to consolidate such event in a single megathread.
Edit: after a quick discussion with simple, he/she/they will consider a megathread for the next big event. The current posts will stay up.
