Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit (www.videogameschronicle.com)

With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide....

the patent system is based on a “first to file the paperwork” basis

and quite frankly the symmetrical stick placement is uncomfortable and outdated by nearly 20 years

sorry but I have to disagree, it’s so much more comfortable than the mismatched sticks other controllers have

fuck Sony BTW, they patented said symmetrical stick placement and the world is worse off because of this

Custom Starfield Elite v2 Controller

Heya together. I was fancing the official Xbox Starfield controller but I’m so used to paddles, that I can’t play with a regular controller anymore. I then stumbled upon a shell for the Elite V2 Controller. I walked the extra mile and replaced the thumbstick base for a red one and I also ordered two sets of paddles and...

But several people also noted that the games industry goes through cycles of mass layoffs, because simply having a stable business isn’t enough for investors. Revenues must grow by a chunky margin: if they don’t, costs must be cut. Embracer’s mishandling of their business might be grotesque, but it’s business as usual nonetheless. “We make a shitload of money, but it doesn’t go back into the games,” one person commented. “It goes into a lot of now very wealthy peoples’ pockets, and the people who actually make the games kind of scrape by, most of the time.”

Kernel level anti-cheats are a must nowadays to lift the barrier to entry which excludes quite a bunch of cheaters.

$40 ain’t much of a barrier to entry

@demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

I’m curious about that too

EDIT: nevermind, another post below has the answer: it’s a programmable wheel

well, it was right there on the article…

In a similar lawsuit against Apple, Epic lost on several claims though the game developer convinced a judge that the phone maker should loosen restrictions on payments through its app store.

    Honestly, blacksmithing isn’t that hard

    it’s well beyond the reach of most people, specially considering the price of the tooling alone

    We live in a world where hundreds of millions of people are literally starving, dude.

    But even rolling from there, a 300% hike in base prices would mean games cost $200, and that’s just not true.

    if you consider that nowadays (almost) all games ship incomplete and demand DLCs… yeah, it’s true

    demonsword,
    @demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

    DLCs aren’t the only “evil”, there’s also the case for microtransactions and other stupid monetization bullshit schemes

    demonsword,
    @demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

    So don’t play those games

    …and I don’t, I prefer supporting indie devs

    demonsword, (edited )
    @demonsword@lemmy.world avatar

    You do realize indie devs consisting of one or two people are also businesses, right?

    seems to me that there’s some sort of critical mass they need to achieve first before the fuckery sets in, small teams aren’t “evil” (yet) simply because they can’t be (yet)

    EDIT I mean “evil” as in “we want profit above all else, let’s milk this cow dry until she dies”

    all of this takes place in our own minds and nothing is real
