Okalaydokalay, w Teardown is coming to PS5 on November 15

My brother bought this for me for Christmas last year and it’s a ridiculously fun game. The mods are a lot of fun as well.

Zoboomafoo, w US FTC Revives Microsoft-Activision Deal Challenge
@Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world avatar

This is the second big swing I’ve seen the FTC take in the last few days, indicative of a change or coincidence?

Whirlybird, (edited )

This isn’t a new swing, this is a last ditch effort. They’ve already been absolutely embarrassed in court over this case, basically laughed out.

FTC: Microsoft owning COD will give them a monopoly!!! Poor sony will be run out of business!!! Won’t somebody think of Sony!!!

Sony: nah we’re good even if we lose COD. We don’t think they would take it from us anyway because we make them the most money.

All other publishers: Nah this deal is great for us as if they did take cod away it makes it easier for us to sell our games.

Nintendo: this deal is great for us as we’ll now get more games for our players.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

No lol. Sony was crying as well.

Whirlybird,

They were and they weren’t. They literally said they don’t think Microsoft would make COD exclusive like the FTC were saying they would, and that they would be absolutely fine if Microsoft were to buy them and make all games exclusive, unlike the ftc said, but they wanted to stop the deal because of course they do, Microsoft are a competitor.

I’m saying that even Sony disagreed with the FTCs reasons for challenging the acquisition.

This is the FTC under Lina Khan; she’s definitely not an ally to the tech giants

NightAuthor,

This is what I’m hearing too, but I’m skeptical. Someone in government, fighting against corporations on behalf of the people?!

Whirlybird,

This case shows she’s not fighting on behalf of the people though, but on the behalf of other corporations - Sony specifically. Their entire argument was how it would hurt sony. They basically didn’t mention the consumers at all lol. It was a complete joke. At least the CMA and EU had concerns, however weak they were, around competitiveness in the cloud market which could hurt consumers.

Whirlybird,

Correct, but unfortunately she’s not a big fan of picking her battles well either.

It’s all well and good to “go after big tech”, but you should only go after them when you’ve got a leg to stand on, otherwise you’re going to be made to look stupid by the ludicrously highly paid big tech lawyers. Under khan the FTC has lost almost everything they’ve tried, and most of the times you could take 1 look at their case and know they had no chance in hell.

The Microsoft/ABK case is a perfect example. There’s no lt even the slightest hint of a monopoly or anti-competitive behaviour. Then the ftc basically made their entire argument about poor old market leader Sony potentially being hurt.

Whoever advised them of their strategy in this case should have their credentials stripped. Who thought fighting for the market leader to maintain their dominance and to keep last place in last place was the angle they should take? They’re supposed to look out for consumers and competition, but this case did the opposite.

li10, w LORDS OF THE FALLEN - Overview Trailer

I am still so surprised that they made a sequel for this.

The first game was just so bland and clunky, and for a while at least was the go to example of a bad souls like.

Naz, w Meta Quest 3: New Mixed Reality VR Headset

I’ve got the Q2, and I’ve heard the Q3 is like half the size and weight. If that’s true, it’s a decent upgrade - for me, personally. I don’t care about any of that Meta/Facebook shit, I sideload my APKs and neuter their monitoring and use it as a wireless display, a la Valve Index.

Sharkwellington, w New Beginning | Road to Vostok (Dropping unity for godot)

I’ve never heard of this game before, is it a spiritual successor to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

big_slap, w Capcom Targets Smartphone Gamers

i’m having a lot of fun with mh now honestly

FrankTheHealer, w Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition coming to Steam and EGS

Great news! Already wishlisted

PenguinTD, (edited ) w The Talos Principle 2 - The Talos Principle 2 is launching on November 2

YES!! Time to double check if I completed the original DLC puzzles. (I just open up and I forgot most of what I’ve done so far, might as well restart the DLC.)

Edit: since Croteam used Unreal Engine for 2, if you want them to get more rev-share, buy on EGS(waive 5% royalty, EGS only take 12% cut.) I know this is not a popular opinion, but I will buy on platform that give devs more money. It’s only 30CAD if you own the previous one even from the EGS free games.

simple, w Lies of P - Update Notes Version 1.2.0.0

Good changes all around, but it’s frustrating that the update isn’t out of Game Pass PC even though it’s been out on Steam since the start of the day.

@countstex@feddit.dk avatar

Just started a run through of The Isle Tide Hotel on Steam, enjoyed the demo a while back and I’m a sucker for a bit of FMV.

oxideseven, w Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of September, 25, 2023

2nd playthrough of BG3 with friends.

Starfield.

Cyberpunk.

Conan exiles.

Did you play Cyberpunk because of the new update/DLC?

oxideseven,

I spend like 150 hours on it when it came out and finished. Came back for the update and dlc yeah.

I haven’t done much in the game just yet

metaStatic, w Resident Evil 4 Remake Will Cost $60 On iPhone

Hahaha. Oh wait you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.

XTornado, w VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it

Does anybody know if it’s the same cause as when on a car? Like I have yet to get into buying VR but I never get nausea on a car looking at phone inside/outside doesn’t matter. Just trying to see if I might be affected.

notfromhere, w The Talos Principle 2 | Release Date Trailer | Available November 2 | PC | PS5 | XSX/S

I hope they have a VR version like the first one. Playing it in VR is a whole different experience.

Adalast, w Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly

Wait, this is unpopular? Well shit, I’m right there with you. I was already not liking Epic for many reasons, but the Satisfactory exclusivity deal seared them to a cinder for me. At least Valve is not publicly traded and the owner never has any intent on doing so. He is able to base his decisions on what he wants and is able to treat employees, customers, and content creators more fairly, even if it hurts his bottom line. Honestly, that is all I need to know about the man. He could go public and make billions, but he doesn’t. He wants the control and wants the closed company. In the modern world it is rare and, to me, laudable.

can,

He’s already a billionaire

Adalast,

This is quite true, though, unlike most of his cohort, he seems content with making more of them slowly over decades than trying to cash out asap.
