brsrklf, do games w Epic explains why it hasn't sued Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over 30% fee

Wow, this is complete bullshit.

And I am saying that even though I have zero love for the mobile gaming market, while I do own and like consoles. There is just no reason to consider they’re doing things any differently on this matter.

30% seems quite a lot, no matter the platform, especially for small indie studios. I’d care more about these than whatever the Fortnite machine has to pay.

Not an excuse in any way, but the x360 had its share of tearing too. I was surprised when I saw that, it’s something I had only encountered in PC games before (my only other 3D-capable console were a GameCube and a Wii).

Very noticeable on Bayonetta, and I am not sure which but I remember others had some too (maybe Darksiders?).

Difference I can see with traditional gambling (e.g. Texas Hold’em) is that it’s not in the instant, they actually want you to speculate on virtual “ownership” and spend now while it’s “cheap” to earn later in a totally happening glorious metaverse future. Yes, it’s very pyramid-y in nature.

Some of these “games” are empty shells of of a virtual world where you buy plots of land and then expect it to become more valuable, maybe build a virtual store or boring asset-flipped “resort” on it, rent part of it to someone to do the same, etc. They’re landlord fantasy. Except some may really believe in it.

If you’ve got the time, Dan Olson made a pretty good video about that stuff :

A bunch of cryptobros who don’t really have an interest in playing video games started to think “what if everything in a game was a cryptocurrency, and what if instead of playing for fun, you invested in the game to earn more money?”

Seriously, “play-to-earn” is the thing they want to make happen. They took all those boring trends that make shitty microtransaction-fests feel like a job, and they saw a future where stuff like this would actually be your job.

brsrklf, do gaming w Gabe Newell ordered to make in-person deposition for Valve v. Wolfire Games lawsuit

They kind of had their store. Wolfire games created Humble Bundle, then it became its own company and now belongs to IGN.

If they kept going for the initial spirit of HB instead of letting it become just another way to buy on Steam, maybe they’d be that competition.

Good news if you ever spend Thanksgiving in Hyrule, they have actually edible (and mostly harmless) birds, including big juicy Eldin and forest ostriches.

Also, if they’re not extinct and you’re looking for very big game, you could always try loftwing.

brsrklf, do games w Sweet Baby Inc: Why Modern Gaming has Become Woke Political Garbage

Don’t forget “political”.

If it means that it’s talking about society, every story ever written is political in some way. But we all know in this context it means “stuff I don’t like”.

brsrklf, do gaming w Anyone knows about calm Windows games with 1-finger touch screen support?

It was either in the first two or in the second one.

I am not sure because I know I got it from the second bundle, but that one included the games from the first humble bundle too.

Though I already had it on the Wii for quite some time at that point. I knew the original flash game, Tower of Goo, and I’d spent so much time messing around with that thing, I was pretty excited that they made a whole game around it.

brsrklf, do games w What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?

Which version, PC? I did that one a while ago and I liked it. But then I was like “Wait, how?” when I saw it was being ported to Switch, because I am not sure how the weird stuff it does would work on it.

In any case it has interesting themes, and it’s very good at making the player connect with them.

brsrklf, do games w GameStop’s definition of “New”

I tried to just buy them new in store and they told me they “don’t carry rare games like that anymore.”

Wait, was that bullshit, or was that game still a ridiculously limited release in America? Does NoA really hate this game that much?

In Europe physical XCDE doesn’t really look that rare.

brsrklf, do gaming w Stop blaming teeth for Cities: Skylines 2 performance problems, say devs

What problem, you don’t think bees should be able to flip a horse carriage over?

Can’t stand the sight of a strong Nord insect?

brsrklf, do games w Minnmax interview with Bruce Nesmith, ex Bethesda design director (video, 1:40:49 length)

So, they’re still using their own frankenstein monster reanimated from the corpse of Gamebryo I presume?

There are definitely more problems at Bethesda than their engine of choice, but yeah, it certainly still is a big one. It’s been creaking at the seams forever.

brsrklf, do games w Meet the men hiding their FIFA Ultimate Team addiction from their families

That doesn’t make any of this okay.

I’ve spent €45 for a Mario game yesterday. Last I’ve checked that game costs roughly the same for everyone (except understandable variations in regional pricing). Not €45 once for me and $2,000 per week for some guy with an addiction problem.

Yet that game was made, and thousands more that didn’t rely on gacha, lootboxes or whatever.

So, do you consider paying for more rolls part of the fun?

Because the rest, including the hit of endorphin you get for a stroke of luck, could very well exist without it. But of course on EA’s side getting people addicted has no point if they don’t pay virtually unlimited amounts of money for more.

This stuff is why “it’s optional” and “it’s just cosmetic” are bullshit arguments.

If you can resist the urge, you’re not the intended target. They don’t make record profits from people who can spend somewhat rationally, even though those are the vast majority of users their contribution to profits is a drop in an ocean.

No, the only reason this model works so well is because it’s exploiting the vulnerabilities of a small percent of big spenders.
