Shiggles, w Tobias Sjögren (Payday 3): We are so sorry that the infrastructure didn’t hold up as expected, and although it’s impossible to prepare for every scenario – we should be able to do better....

The best argument against always online games. Makes no damn sense that even when I queue by myself, I’m stuck waiting for a lobby.

Not a fan of turn based combat in the Yakuza series. I guess I would just watch gameplay for the story. Wish an option to change combat style be implemented.

It’s almost funny. Honestly, the only way I can see them regaining any trust at all is by a complete change in leadership and increased transparency and accountability.

I haven’t calculated how much the new revenue split would be on average so take this as a random scribble on a napkin, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most studios choose to never upgrade to the next version.

Just remember, the current CEO was too greedy even for EA.

takeda,

so obviously it is not happening, and by the time the CEO is replaced it will be too late

@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

It's not just the CEO, most of the Board are buddies with Elon. If the Board of Directors didn't specifically want this, it wouldn't be happening.

Just remember, the current CEO was too greedy even for EA

John Riccitiello is his name. Dude has the anti-Midas touch. Everything he has ever touched turned to shit. How people keep hiring him is beyond me.

That said, the board of directors is also part to blame for this. One name stands out, Roelof Botha. Same guy from Sequoia Capital that backed the whole Elon Musk taking a loan out for Twitter and old buddy of Musk's from PayPal days. He's also been known for some "choice" selections on where to put VC money.

And of course you have Barry Schuler of "I made AOL popular" fame. So… Yeah, he's a choice selection for the board as well.

But on the other side of it, you've got David Helgason one of the co-founders of Unity who has been pretty vocal about "We fucked up!". But to me that is a tell-tell that Riccitiello et al. sold the rest of the board on the change.

Point being, the board is made up of hard going MFers who fuck up along the way and folks who are easily rolled over by promises of $$$. So while the CEO is indeed "a work of something", the board is a perfect storm of "egos and pushovers".

Either way, yeah, I think that since literally no leadership change is coming from this "you put the same chemicals in, you're absolutely going to get the same reaction out." The only thing they have likely taken from this whole thing is that they cannot be as obvious about changes as they were.

bstix,

Everything he has ever touched turned to shit. How people keep hiring him is beyond me.

Some CEOs are hired for that specific purpose. If a board wants to do greedy shit they hire a fall guy. There are plenty of jobs for that guy.

bobbytables, w "Ubisoft may also request that Microsoft perform technical modifications,including to ensure that the Activision Games support emulators like Proton"

Most of the time Ubisoft games don’t work on non-Windows OS, so bold of them to require that.

raptir,

They do not create native Linux builds, but for the most part they all work under Protein.

mordack550,

Some of Ubisoft games don’t work well on Windows, so…

Pheonixtail, w "Ubisoft may also request that Microsoft perform technical modifications,including to ensure that the Activision Games support emulators like Proton"

But proton isn’t an emulator? It’s an API converter

echo64,

It’s an api emulator.

moody,

It’s a translation layer. It doesn’t emulate anything.

echo64,

emulate

ĕm′yə-lāt″

transitive verb

To strive to equal or excel, especially through imitation.

To compete with successfully; approach or attain equality with.

To imitate the function of (another system), as by modifications to hardware or software that allow the imitating system to accept the same data, execute the same programs, and achieve the same results as the imitated system.

smeg,

I’m capable of computing logical operations, that doesn’t make me a computer

echo64,
smeg,

Touché

Nibodhika,

Yes, and I usually agree with you and think the whole WINE Is Not an Emulator acronym is a bit too much because a windows Emulator is the easiest way to explain Wine… That being said emulators have a technical definition, and Wine does not fit it because it doesn’t emulate hardware nor does it translate binaries. Linux is perfectly capable of understanding windows binaries and vice-versa, because they both run on the same platform the binaries are the same, which is to say a specific sequence of bits that instructs the processor to do something is the same for both Windows and Linux binaries. The reason you can’t run windows binaries on Linux (again, or vice-versa) is because they make calls to external libraries that are not available, be it the windows API or the Linux Kernel API. So if you write a library that implements the windows API using Linux APIs you suddenly are able to run windows binaries on Linux, and that’s all that wine does.

dudewitbow,

Its a compatibility layer, which is not usually considered emulation.

ipha,

Wine is Not an Emulator.

It’s right in the upstream name.

What’s the context? What does Ubisoft have to do with Microsoft-Activision?

AFLYINTOASTER,

Microsoft-Activision sold streaming rights for their games to Ubisoft as a concession to avoid being labeled a monopoly so the merger could go through.

joekar1990, w Unity: An open letter to our community

Man a 2.5% revenue share definitely could add up especially for mobile you’d be giving close to 20% in revenue to either an app store or game engine.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices, (edited )

or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self-reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

But yeah. It does add up.

echo64,

Oh, don’t worry, it’s already 30%.

slazer2au, w Unity: An open letter to our community

And the backpedaling continues. Here’s hoping the fireside chat actually happens this time.

sugar_in_your_tea,

If they launched with this, I think the community would’ve been fine with it. But IMO the damage has been done, and a lot of indies are going to look elsewhere.

yukichigai, (edited )
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

99% of it was them trying to make the new fee structure retroactively apply to already-released products, and the damage there has already been done. The fact that they think they can change the negotiated fee structure after the fact makes Unity a huge liability to use now. No one can ever be sure they won't suddenly pull a "give us more money or stop selling your game" move sometime down the line.

gravitas_deficiency, (edited )

But there’s also the sketchy (and anticompetitive, and potentially illegal in some jurisdictions) fee vouchers they were using to try to tank AppLovin’s customer base, as well as the silent and sneaky update of their license terms that everyone discovered after the fact. The “apology” makes absolutely no mention of those. And I find that incredibly telling (aside, of course, from the lack of exec team shakeup).

HolyDuckTurtle,
@HolyDuckTurtle@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, in particular them saying now "You will keep the license of the version you use" rings very hollow when they literally showed they can retract that whenever they want ANd get a lawyer to defend that move in no uncertain terms.

gravitas_deficiency,

Precisely. They’ve already done it, and the people who made that decision haven’t gone anywhere. They will definitely try something similar in the future.

I’m also sorry Unity I’m already deep into godot and I like it.

abcde_fz, w NHL 24 Official HUT Trailer | Deep Dive

I was excited about most of the stuff I saw in this trailer. I hope EA never EVER abandons a game the way they did NHL 23, but the focus they put on 24 during the abandonment does seem to have resulted in some good stuff.

Iwasondigg, w Baldur's Gate 3 patch 3 releases today and lets you change your appearance and pronouns

The bear fucking was one thing. But the damn genital-less mindflayers even want to jump your bones. This is the horniest game since Leisure Suit Larry!

Kbin_space_program,

Modded Bethesda games since(and including) Morrowind want a word about being the horniest games.

LoafyLemon, (edited )

The fact is, vanilla Bethesda games are as dry as they come. At least when it comes to any form of adult content, even implied. Baldur's Gate 3, on the other hand, is down bad through, and through.

iheartneopets,

Hey, so am I, so I’m here for it. I <3 this slut game.

Spider daedra. I don't remember them having models that shitty though, but I guess my standards for horny were pretty low.

LoafyLemon,

Oh yeah, that was a thing. Other images available online seem to be more... interesting. I can see how it could influence your arachnid tastes. 😆

canthidium,
@canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

There was some stuff that came out a couple weeks ago I think that said the extreme horniness was a bug and it’s patched now. So they won’t try to jump your bones so quickly and aggressively now, lol.

@Ghost33313@kbin.social avatar

Morrowind had some pretty crazy implied stuff if you went down the right quest trees and read the little details. Remembering about stripping for Crassius Curio still makes me feel a touch dirty and violated. Telvanni had some rapey stuff going on too.

Kolanaki, (edited )
!deleted6508 avatar

I’m just thinking of how I have mods for both Skyrim and Fallout 4 that turn every character into furries, and how Starfield doesn’t have multiple races. I’m not sure if modding can add more races because every single mod I’ve ever seen from Morrowind to Fallout 4 only ever uses the same number of races the vanilla game offers. But it would be a little disappointing for there to only be 1 race (maybe 2 if you count robots) for mods like that.
