Replace Halo with Unreal Tournament and that’s me.

I love how they are called “boomer shooters” but it was Gen-X and Millenials that played that shit.

Do you play games, or do you play a game endlessly. If it’s games then it might be easier to sprinkle other activities into the mix like learning to play a musical instrument, etc. If it’s a game, especially if it’s a live service game, MMO, hatch’s, etc, then they might have successfully tapped into “your formula”, in which case if recommend dropping the game entirely. Games like that are specifically designed to keep you playing indefinitely.

Did the same at EA (IIRC).

As someone with his own company I can assure you that you don’t. Life is a lot easier when it’s not your baby on the line. Do you think he’s going to lose sleep over Unity? Not even a little.

Definitely. Still, if I had that much money, I would do something other than start a company to make more money. I’d try to accomplish something that helps others and makes this world suck a little less. Instead, I’ve focused my entire efforts towards the survival of myself and those close to me.

The article states that Epic intends to keep the game dev pricing unchanged. Free up front, then 5% after the first million dollars in sales.

I suspect that Unreal 5 is going to make Epic so much money in the coming years. Taking 5% after the first million dollars doesn’t seem like a lot until you remember that the next Witcher and Cyberpunk are both Unreal 5 developments.

I’m pretty sure Unity showed, quite clearly, that a bait and switch is a bad idea. Plus, Unreal is going after big titles. You don’t fuck with companies that make big titles.

I dated a girl in college that would have selected “all of the above” except Divorce. Why not Divorce? Because one should never marry crazy.

Join, scream, punch, “finish” , cry. Dated that. Fun but never again.

This is the correct answer.

The fee is zero for games making less than $1,000,000.

The grammar in the article is not great.

I have gamepass but I also use to be a regular Destiny player. A single time sink like Destiny can leave very little time for anything else. Since I stopped playing Destiny I have been playing a lot more indie games.

I hope this inspires people to check out Larian’s Divinity: Original Sin series.

Stating that BG3 is D:OS3 is a massive compliment.

Amid Evil is a spiritual successor to the Unreal series (not to be confused with Unreal Tournament even though they were both Epic/Digital Extremes).

Divinity: Original Sin 2, Larian’s previous game is #13 and they did that one when the studio was a fraction of the size it is now and on a miniscule budget when compared to BG3. It’s just a wonderful studio, full of talent and enthusiasm that starts from the top.

I really like that dice roll mechanic they added in BG3, it’s highly satisfying. But yeah, mechanically D:OS2 and BG3 are pretty much the same. I hope BG3 makes people give D:OS2 a try.

JoMiran, rok temu

I’m happy to keep the systems different like this. That way D:OS and BG continue to be different play experiences, because I do want a D:OS3

There are so many hilariously broken builds. You can play it serious or you can go the full comedy route.

I think this post should come with a huge disclaimer that IRC is highly addictive and a major time suck. If you’re trying to remain productive, avoid IRC.
