Valnet is a scourge on hobbyist media

The fact that anyone is taking Sony even remotely seriously is absurd.

Do you have an example of a piece of intellectual property that was blatantly copied?

It’s meant to refer to the FTC.

The problem is lawyers. Nintendo has billions to spend on them.

“Sweaty” has a specific connotation in video games, so it does provide some meaning.

Maybe? I’m not that deep in “gamer” culture, so I always just thought of it as descriptive of a particular intensity of play that leads to sweaty palms. We all experience that from time to time, some prefer it, others don’t.

Dragon Age: Origins was a truly great game. Though fun, none of the other titles have captured the magic of the first.

I agree with your latter paragraph but not the former. I’m really not liking these overbroad IP claims. This is almost worse than the Nintendo/Palworld stuff, which was already pretty bad.

Tencent may also be a villain, but if Sony gets its way here, it will be bad for games and other forms of expression.

Backpage is very different than Valve. Backpage execs were directly involved in the pimping of minors, this were proven in court.

I don’t believe Valve execs are pimping minors through Steam.

Thanks for the correction.

I’m not comfortable with tech execs making bank off sex workers, but I should aim to be more familiar with the outcome of the case.

Unconventional choice, as it is 3D, but Supraland. Fantastic world to explore, so satisfying getting new powers and reaching areas.

This is a big hit to gaming. Polygon was a reliable source and employed a lot of knowledgeable and passionate writers and creators. It had its critics because it didn’t cater to gamergate, but for most of us that was a good thing.

Valnet has blown up many sites before to make unreliable content farms. They practically invented the business.

I hope the laid off writers at Polygon are able to make something like 404media.

Forbes, for many years, has been mostly written by freelance bloggers. Some is very high quality (some is not) but it’s not like an editor in a newsroom is asking for these stories.

They have journalists on staff still but they write a minority of what Forbes publishes online.

They also have a book about human evolution. 😵

Godus had real promise, I played the early release. Absolutely never delivered on what it promised, implicitly or explicitly, though.

Not precisely open world but has the same feeling of exploration, discovery and unlocking, Supraland. Harder puzzles, unlock things that make combat easier. Combat is pretty similar to botw.

Riven is still perfect, more perfect now that you don’t need to switch CDs. Doesn’t need a remake.
