banana_meccanica, w Top 50 Most Downloaded Games on the Google Play Store (Update 2023) - DroidLocal

Same games of last 5 years, nothing changes and still someone calls mobile gaming relevant. So stupid and so lame.

I am playing the trails series for the first time, and I’m doing it by order of release. I’m at the finale chapter of Trails to Azure and I’m super excited to finally reach the cold steel saga, but should I play Nayuta first? (I kind of think I should, but I don’t know if it’s related to everything else.)

I haven't played Nayuta yet (got the GOG release a few days ago though) but I've played all of Cold Steel I~IV and did not notice anything in them that would suggest that Nayuta even existed -- unlike Zero/Azure where not having played those (due to no official English release at the time) led to some "who the heck is this and WTF is going on here?!" moments as well as some "I would probably appreciate this more if I'd been able to play those games..." sections.

If you want to carry on into Cold Steel after Azure you'll be fine.

Computerchairgeneral, w Microsoft addresses the huge Xbox leaks: here’s Phil Spencer’s full memo

Curious to see the differences between the "real" plans and the leaked ones. Obviously, some of the dates are off since some of those games haven't been released yet and I have a hard time believing Elder Scrolls 6 is coming out next year. I could see some of those games being canceled, but it's hard to see plans around the midgen refresh changing up too much. It makes sense to have something to compete with the PS5 Pro that Sony is probably going to release next year and an all-digital Series X would be a good way to test the waters for going completely digital next generation.

A lot of the planned release dates got pushed back a year or two because of covid, so add a year to each date to get closer to when things are probably going to actually come out, I reckon.

I haven’t heard about any plans for PS5 Pro, but all that leaks have said what’s coming out is more like a Slim, since it’s going to be smaller, and not have a built-in disk drive. We’ll see, tho.

Melkath,

Put that makeup on my face.

I 100% have earned it.

@jeremy_sylvis@midwest.social avatar

My local friend group is right there with you. You’d think we’d have learned from the open beta…

Melkath,

I bought the whole season pass thing

Didn't get to pay on release day.

Complete abject failure on the part of the developers. I hope they are feeling the shame.

It's hope money though. I hope they sort their shit out and give us a good game.

wolfshadowheart, w Payday 3. I knew it...
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

Can you go into more detail?

Melkath,

I have been sitting in matchmaking for over 3 hours at this point.

Looks like big streamers can access the game just fine, but I get spinning wheel that is occasionally punctuated with getting an error message and kicked out of the game.

The beta was like a week and a half ago, and matchmaking was crumbling under the small organized stress test. I KNEW that once the open internet hit the matchmaker the whole thing was going to implode.

Microsoft needs to to have a massive anti trust lawsuit thrown at them

Microsoft is a US company operating in the US. That means US law dose not apply.

Jaysyn, w Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that?
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

Yes, but if you don't upgrade, you can keep using the old license. Unity tried to delete this from the Internet.

Neato,
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

So if you've published a game, just keep on keeping on. You can sell that game, maintain an older copy of Unity to update it for bugs, even develop new content for that game with the older version of Unity.

I figured this must have been in here. No professional organization would allow a TOS to pass into publishing that allowed a company to unilaterally change fees.

spriteblood,

This is still up on their FAQ:

Yes, the fee applies to eligible games currently in market that continue to distribute the runtime. We look at a game's lifetime installs to determine eligibility for the runtime fee. Then we bill the runtime fee based on all new installs that occur after January 1, 2024.

ripcord,
@ripcord@kbin.social avatar

I love that their "proprietary" method of determining installs is to just look at the # of installs reported publicly by Google and Apple app stores.

Hegar,

So if you've published a game, just keep on keeping on. You can sell that game, maintain an older copy of Unity to update it for bugs, even develop new content for that game with the older version of Unity.

According to the article, probably no.

Many devs may have updated unity and used it for minor updates, but also the clause in question probably doesn't protect anyone anyway. There's a broader ToS that supercedes it with much more restrictive language.

Hegar, (edited )

According to the article, it's not that simple. This is from the ToS for the Unity Editor, which is subservient to a broader Unity ToS that has much stricter legal language about changing anything without warning and the customer being able to go fuck themselves.

So, yes, technically this bullshit may be completely legal. Devs who were sold Unity on "no royalties" may be forced to pay royalties. Which is definitely healthy for our society and not obviously a problem.

echodot, w Microsoft would buy Valve 'if opportunity arises,' said Phil Spencer in leaked email

Well yeah.

How is this news?

YuzuDrink,

Thank you. Obviously “we would buy them if we could” is given; but just as obviously, this was just wishful thinking out loud.

He’s said that way before 2020, also. Publicly. It seems that has not changed. Most in that kind of position would come to the same conclusions of buying up the competition and making money off their products. It’s cheaper, it’s easier, you already get the infrastructure and customer base, etc. What capitalist wouldn’t try to go that route?

Whirlybird,

Exactly. He’d be a terrible exec if he didn’t want to.

geosoco, w Microsoft would buy Valve 'if opportunity arises,' said Phil Spencer in leaked email

Is there a company they wouldn't buy? Unity maybe?

Luvon,

Why not? Buy low, right? Best time to it is after a company stupidly tabled their value and trust right 😂

PrinzKasper,
@PrinzKasper@kbin.social avatar

Honestly might not be such a bad idea. Unity is built on .Net, which Microsoft also owns. The teams could work together to get Unity modernized and cleaned up, and I bet developers would trust Microsoft more than Unity (Consider that Microsoft also owns VS Code, Github, npm and more that tons of devs frequently use)

Clangbang, w Microsoft would buy Valve 'if opportunity arises,' said Phil Spencer in leaked email

It’s a bummer that the government wasn’t able to stop the recent acquisition of activision, but hopefully that cooled Microsoft’s eagerness a little.

Whirlybird,

It’s not done yet, definitely still a good chance it’s blocked. I don’t think it should be, but it very well could be.

TheDankHold,

Why do you think corporate consolidation should happen? Every time it does it benefits the corporations and never the consumer. Anti-trust is incredibly important to keep business from taking control of aspects of our culture and socialization.

Whirlybird,

This corporate consolidation helps more people than it hurts.

Corporate consolidation isn’t just always a bad thing. This would be a good thing for basically everyone that’s not exclusively a PlayStation-only player.

TheDankHold,

No corporate consolidation is how you end up with companies like Sony to begin with. And even then, they’re funding the creation of new pop culture while this is Microsoft wanting to grab up existing culture so they can profit from it. One is an example of something being created and the other is something being hoarded.

Any short term benefit a consumer sees from consolidation is simply a cost the corporation pays to achieve a scenario where they no longer have to provide those benefits. Microsoft is already very well know for the Embrace, Envelop, Extinguish strategy so assuming good will on their part is painfully naïve.

Corporations are not your friend and don’t care about your well-being, they just want your money.
