The only reason why other game studios are opening offices in Poland is because CDPR had created and cultivated the human talent of many game Devs in the country, plus Polish workers should be a lot cheaper compared to West Europe and the US.

How is Pentiment, it is also in my wishlist but I have a huge list of backlog.

The question is when the US government is going to take any measures against them.

Apple is not that strong in the EU but I think in the US it controls more than 50% of the market and your authorities are simply closing their eyes in front of their anti competitive practices.

Yes, the game story is Okay, the side quests are repetitive and not very fun, but the combat mechanics and how beautiful the game is makes the whole experience much better.

Didn’t China also recently introduce a limit of hours adolescents can game?

The world would be a better place without those transactions in my opinion. It might sound extreme but in my view this is the first step towards gambling addiction.

We as humanity are becoming really obsessed with everything digital instead of spending more time physically interacting with our peers. And unfortunately I am no exception.

The sad thing is that recently most of the discounts have been more or less lukewarm, very few games have 80-90% discounts

CDPR are actually providing consistent updates to their games and free graphics updates on the next gen. Mind you that’s pretty rare these days.

So practically he wants to create a SaaS model to eternally milk their user base. As much as I like the game devs working for rockstar, their management is an utterly horrendous bunch of scums and in a way I wish that GTA6 is one giant flop.

I also have less time to game, but I sure as hell don’t want to play shorter games. I like to play games with good stories, who are engaging and with fun play. Witcher 3 is a prime example of how even the majority of the side quests can be meaningful and not feeling too generic. I also enjoyed the last of us part 2. And I usually feel sorry when I finish a good game.

And shorter games should naturally command a lower price which isn’t always the case.

It is debatable, but would you pay 70$ for a 2-hours game and another 10x70$ for DLCs and expansions that would extend the original content?

But this also doesn’t mean that you should feel your game with generic content in order to make it longer either. It is a fine line but I know that I would have a real problem justifying 70€ for 2 hours of game content without replayability, even if the game is amazing.

I think the fact is that most Linux users have a more technical background and work in the tech/IT sector. They know that filling a bug report requires a clear explanation of the problem, and steps to reproduce it, hence the greater quality of their reports.

But still makes me happy that even though Linux has a small market share, game devs actually start caring more for them. And a lot of this is also thanks to Steam, I don’t think we would be here without their relentless work to make this happen and the Deck.

It is about time for them to start producing some GPUs and break the monopoly of AMD and NVIDIA.

One big benefit of the consoles is that you can resell and buy used games for really cheap on a disc.

I bought the complete edition of witcher 3 for 5 bucks and so far it has been my best investment as I love this game and have all 3 Witcher games on my Steam, but I refuse to pay those outrageously high GPU prices.

I was kind of hopeful that the new gen would be better, but they proved me wrong.

For me the problem is that the shareholders are putting enormous pressure on publicly traded companies requiring ever lasting exponential growth.

Back then I posted a thread about why I think publicly traded companies are bad for our society, as an unpopular opinion and I got severely downvoted, but hey isn’t this another example for the latter?

This SaaS model was born exactly out of this and it is the worst offender.

Back then we were able to own our own software/hardware, now everything is leasing and perpetual paying for things you need/use everyday. Thank God we have foss apps that in most cases are better alternatives.

But don’t you think that pretty much this debacle resembles Reddit and by now most of the users are back to their platform, exactly what they wanted.

Only the nerds and some mods left their platform permanently but percentage wise the number is probably very low and now Reddit is probably earning even more than before. So it is a win win situation for them.

This game had the dullest characters and the most boring/cliché story and the fighting mechanism is absolutely horrible.
