You could probably add E33 to that, even if it is still too early to know how much impact it will have.

And then you have Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, an AA indy gem that goes for what, 50€ ?

80€ games are a symptom of the marketing cancer that plagues modern AAA games. No need for a 1000 person team, what they need is passion for the medium, and a dedicated team that isn’t impeded by executive greed.

$60 in 1992 is about $135 in April 2025, inflation included.

Sure games became more complex, but tools became more powerfull, and so did computers.

In 1992 you often had to code your own engine, which amounted for a good chunk of the development cost. They had to do that using a ressource envelope magnitudes smaller than what we have today. Heck, a jpeg screencap of the original Mario game is bigger than the whole original game itself. Let’s not forget that games where physical, which had to be included in the final price.

Todays devs often uses off the shelf engines, tools that automate some of the tedious task, like making trees (Speedtree) and asset reuse is done on an industrial level, there are even marketplaces for that. Moreover, game distribution changed to be mostly digital, you don’t need to factor the medium price into the asked price.

You cannot really compare 1992 dev costs with modern ones. The whole way games are done changed way too much for that.

Moreover, the market has grown way beyond what is was then. The required profit per copy sold is a lot smaller than it was then, and thus should be accojnted for.

Honesty, I don’t see a AAA needing to have more than $60-70 atm, and I think this bump in price is entirely due to the ever increasing marketing cost, more than the game development.

So you just go and post an off-topic rant, because you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions?

Do you even realize how narcissistic you sound like?

Looking at your comment history I’m not really surprised, all you contributions looks like similar to this thread, but I’d like to give you a chance before banning you to keep this community turning toxic because of people like you.

Dremor, miesiąc temu (edited miesiąc temu)

Lol, what? If they want better working conditions, they can work somewhere other than Activision Blizzard, one of the scummiest companies in the world that’s actively contributing to tarnishing the integrity of the medium.

Sound like someone who never had any difficulty to find work (or do not work at all). Many worker do not have the possibility to easily change work, either because of the lack of similar companies in the vicinity, added to various reason for not being able to easily move home (kids, mortgages, among other). And even when they can, changing company is a jump into the unknown. It can be better, on the start of an even worse nightmare. At least in a company they already know, they have contacts, friends, and now, an union to protect them.

Also, I literally said “Cool” in response to them unionizing, so you’re just straight up lying when you say “you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions”

Cool, but it’s not going to make the game any better.

You are right, I’m caricaturing it a bit. The problem is that you immediately rant about it not going your way. If you’d really want to congratulate them for that, you wouldn’t immediately go on a rant about yourself immediately. Let’s get another example. Would you say to a friend announcing getting engaged “Cool, but I still can’t get laid”? No you wouldn’t, only a narcissist would.

I even clarified by saying what I prioritize.

That a bit the problem. You prioritize yourself, in a context that has no reason to. We are talking about the employees, not you. Either talk about the topic of the thread, even if you are against it, but don’t drag it to yourself at every occasion.

It’s sad watching you get this mad at me because I said I don’t like a game and then threaten to abuse your power to ban me.

Seek help.

If I’m that much into banning everyone, I would have done it without giving you a chance of arguing back. The people I banned indefinitely are all spambots or bad faith trolls. Other than that I usually give 3-7 days bans when things go too far, to give people time to self-reflect and join us again on a later date. Considering how well your comments were received by the community, I doubt the community will miss you while your enjoy your alone time.

The real toxicity is from the people responding to me like you lying, calling me a narcissist, and threatening to ban me just to support the dogpile.

I see we don’t have the same definition of toxicity. If you consider that warning you to take a bit of time to self-reflect as toxicity, then you probably don’t have your place in this community.

In the same kind of game you got “Coffee Talk” (and its sequel), which works way better with a controller than VA-11 Hall-A does.

Unfortunately the story author died, which is a shame.

That’s the kind of move I like to see.

I worked on a fork of another Open-Sourced MMO (forked from Ryzom Online). Lot of nice idea (like spell crafting, among other), but the tech stack and system was so old it was more a pain than anything. You couldn’t even jump in that games 😂.

Maybe on !gaming. Being about a game universe doesn’t automatically make it about games (rule 1), nor does it allows it to ignore rule 4.

Remaster -> Take same assets, enhance it (better textures, better shaders, etc.), add some QoL fixes (new hardware support, etc.), but the base (and most of the time the engine) stays the same. Remake -> Take same idea, redo it (new models, new technologies, etc.). May or may not have an engine change
Reboot -> Take same base, new ideas, and redo it (new models, new technologies, etc.). May or may not have an engine change

Edit :
A remaster example : Titan Quest Anniversary Edition -> Same game, remastered textures, add large screen support, among others.
A remake example : Oblivion Remastered (ironic name) -> New engine, new textures and models, but with globally the same idea.
A reboot example : DmC: Devil May Cry (the 2013 game)

Pretending authority is your only tactic. As the likely old-head here I deny you my permission to “be the adult in the room”

Call out use of argument from authority fallacy, call to his own authority instead… Quite ironic.

Well you know what, I call upon the deep magic of rule 2 to remove your message (for the part I didn’t quote, for those who wonder).

roll dice, get a critical failure “well fu…”

Anyway, please stay civil, no matter how heated a debate can become.

Took some time to settle, for various reasons, but I’m currently on Fedora Silverblue.

I tried some of its derivatives (Aurora, Bazzite), as well as OpenSuse, but came back to Fedora and Gnome because of various issue with KDE and OpenSuse asking for root password everywhere.

This arguments won’t go anywhere, except a flame war.

So please, both of you, kindly accept the disagreement, and move on.

I have a life, I can’t just be 24/7 checking new reports, and I don’t know any mean to get notified when one is opened.

As for the value of my action, if you feel like my action isn’t legitimate, you can either contact the other mods or the Admins.

We do not wish to have trolls and toxic people in our community, so if you cannot stop yourself from spreading your toxicity everywhere, then go elsewhere, this is not the only gaming community around.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu (edited 3 miesiące temu)

ah yes, the singular other mod that hasn’t made a comment in 2 years???

I was wondering if he was still here and sent him a message not long ago. Turn out he is, and just mostly lurks those days. Which means that I’m alone doing the moderation most of the time, but that also that you can still try. What do you have to loose? Time? Looking how much you posted on this thread you seem to have plenty of it, so why not try?

and how can any of them disagree with you? do any of you even have the ability to review the comments?

They do, and there were time we disagreed on some mod action. In such case we talk about it together, and try to reach a concensus. That’s how some of our rules exception came to be.

If you can’t handle calling out bigotry then you’re on the side of the bigots. you stance enables the bigots. civilty can only exist when the bigots are dead.

Ah. The good old false dilemma fallacy. Either I’m with you or against you. Did you ever consider that others have their own way to fight those idiots without having to resort to screams, rage and oversimplification?
This community was founded to provide a place were people can talk about games in a constructive way. If you wish to have a community of your own where you can do as you wish, be my guest, and go create it.

If you respected the rules it wouldn’t have to be moderated.

Calling Rowling a terf is OK (you are stating the obvious in such case), telling another user to fuck off, or for specific group of people to die isn’t.

There is a lot to say about JK Rowling and trans right, but this topic is kinda devolving into an unnecessary flame war.
I’ll keep as much comments as I can, but some of them clearly violate both LW TOS and community rules, and thus will be removed.

Dremor, 3 miesiące temu

You can take a look at the modlog if you are curious about your own comment. It is public.

The only limitation being, unfortunately, comment thread removal, in such case only the first comment is shown, which is why I tend to avoid it.

Congratulations, you’ve earned it.

As always, @Road_Warrior_10 got the mods express authorization to promote his game as soon as his post are not meme and he does not excessively promote his game (aka spam it). One or two post a month are fine, as long as they are not direct link to his game with the text being copy-pasted from the Steam page.

Anyone wanting to do the same can DM the mods.
