That said, Unity’s new model encourages MTX in some ways, as new buys incur new Runtime costs, while MTX purchases from existing customers don’t. If anything, this encourages a model where there needs to be an upfront cost to cover the Unity tax, and further in-game purchases to make actual money.
I don’t know if it’s just anecdotal, but it feels like a lot of content is moving to Youtube. People make a 10+ min video out of what used to be a paragraph on a wiki site.
Would commercializing the trained AI count as a commercial public performance though? The legal problems with AI don’t come with the training, but when you start selling it.
I haven’t been playing a lot of CS for a while, but this does not sit well with me:
CS2 will only be available on PC and will be free to play. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will be replaced by this game.
CSGO, despite being eleven years old, is now enjoying a golden time. Indeed, the game reached a new activity record four months ago with 1,818,773 concurrent users.
People are enjoying CSGO, and the owners are going to yank it because they don’t want to compete with its popularity.
I’m a huge fan of the originals, still boot Black Hawk Down up from time to time.
Judging from the trailer, this is not a reboot of the series, but a Battlefield 2042 / Call of Duty mashup multiplayer hero shooter. Except I guess less polished. Kinda bummed out to see the owners of the IP use it for such a blatant trend chasing cash grab.
Never has a teaser got my interest so much in the first few seconds only to slam it to zero just seconds later.
Starts off with a nice thematic shot of something that could be Black Hawks flying over Fallujah … oh yeah, we get a Black Hawk Down remake, gotta go clear my calendar. A few shots of stealth gameplay … well, not what the original was about, but why not?
“Recon arrow, out!” … “Powering up, let’s do this!” … and a dude outrunning a tank in a shot where everyone fires only tracer rounds. Meh.
Why does every studio have to release the same game over again? A while ago it was all battle royales, now everyone is releasing hero shooters.
Just don’t call it Delta Force then if it’s not a real sequel to the originals. This is more like Overwatch: Fallujah.
The point I think is that a “console” is from a certain PoV a locked down piece of hardware only able to run certain software in certain ways. So eg. Stadia was a console, while AWS virtual desktops are not, despite both being just VMs running on some cloud service.
Point is, it’s the software that makes a console, not the hardware.
