Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Addresses Studio Closures (www.ign.com)

“The closure of any team is hard obviously on the individuals there, hard on the team,” Spencer said. "I haven’t been talking publicly about this, because right now is the time for us to focus on the team and the individuals. It’s obviously a decision that’s very hard on them, and I want to make sure through severance...

Some of them were still doing fine, just not triple the profits well.

jmcs,

Most stories fall into one of a few archetypes at least since the time of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

jmcs,

If you give LLMs that much latitude you are going to have your NPCs spread conspiracy theories and fascist crap left and right in your game and a PR crisis on your hands.

jmcs,

Don’t give Sony any ideas. But yes, studios should get two choices, either open up the server or fully refund every single cent at least to the players that played the game in the year before the shutdown was announced (just so they don’t say they don’t have to put a shitload of effort on a dead game).

The same should apply to all digital sales.

jmcs,

The investors are the ones forgetting that. CEOs work for the investors not for the customers.

Now, a good CEO will be able to manage upwards and throw around things like reputational damage and consumer trust to convince to keep the investors focused on the long term in order to protect the company (and the investors uhh… investment). The problem in the gaming industry is that time and time again gamers show that there’s no such thing as reputational damage with games since there are enough people building their personality around a gaming franchise that even studios with a reputation for consistently putting out mediocre unoriginal crap can count on a mountain of pre-orders.

jmcs,

We were calling them Doom-clones before FPS became a thing, maybe it’s time to bring it back as a sub category.

jmcs,

Any of them would be more accurate than Boomer shooter.

jmcs,

The PS2 can run linux. And the PS3 could run Linux too before Sony killed it.

jmcs,

If the studios are profitable, it was still a good business decision. A bad business decision would be to tank a profitable studio to prop up a struggling hardware platform.

Besides, exclusives are mostly bad for the players, so if companies decide that supporting multiple platforms is the best strategy for them, it’s also better for us.

jmcs,

IQ and other intelligence measurements usually follow a normal distribution though.

jmcs,

Do you need to Rewind? Pay $4.99. Don’t want to? Well, enjoy the beginning of the game again.

jmcs,

Don’t worry they will release a $70 upgrade that tones it down soon.

jmcs,

I really don’t understand CoD fans.

*Devs working in Poland. Unions in Europe are per profession or economic sector not per company.

jmcs,

If they stored the hashed password this thread wouldn’t exist.

Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous" (www.pcgamer.com)

While Elon’s then-partner Grimes was recording her part in the game as cyborg popstar Lizzy Wizzy, the erratic tech billionaire turned up with an antique firearm to “insist” on being included in the game. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds “I told them that I was armed but not...

jmcs,

Or put his mummified corpse as an Arasaka spoil of the corporate war.

jmcs,

You don’t read the ToS of all the services you use 3 times before each time you use them? I’m shocked and appalled./s

jmcs,

This still requires games to track all the devices they are installed in and phone home.

jmcs,

He’s actually late Gen X, though he has a certain… fondness for boomers.

jmcs,

The game could read the Mac address and send it. It would probably violate GDPR because it’s not required for the game to perform its function, but it’s technically trivial.

jmcs,

And they tried to pivot by saying it would be by device forcing devs to collect and share their users’ data.

jmcs, (edited )

Like Chris is “working” for free…

jmcs,

That’s not what the article says, the values in the patent are an example. It’s not out of realm of possibility to have something that can match at least the Series S when docked while still supporting a portable mode.

jmcs,

Maybe the article explains exactly what he meant. Just maybe. (Spoiler alert: it’s not maybe, it’s literally in the beginning of the article)

jmcs,

If it’s still being published or if a second hand copy doesn’t cost more than your buddy’s annual wage.

jmcs,

As someone that doesn’t mind waiting, I appreciate all the people paying to beta test the games before I play them.

jmcs,

I bet 5 euros they changed some value to make it faster to test romance scenes during QA and then forgot about it.

jmcs,

Even if it is true, the bar is embedded somewhere on Earth’s inner core.

    So the advantage is that it helps create more planned obsolescence and make sure there will be no one to play the games in 100 years?

    jmcs,

    Except Valve is doing with the Steam deck. And if Google could be bothered to take it seriously, Android could also be a contender.
