What’s happening to RPS? I’ve been seeing more and more articles from them about games the writer has never played, with no useful information. Like this one, basically copy and paste of the patch notes and a summary of steam reviews. Used to like them for in depth game reviews, guess that’s going the way of the dodo.
Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at...

Automation games are a relatively recent development in gaming. Published in 2015, Infinifactory can be considered the first game of the genre. Just one year later, Factorio entered early access, soon to become the most known and successful automation game to date.
Impressive how little homework they did. Article starts off the very first sentence with a whopper. Factorio was available (and already going viral) way before hitting steam EA, which back then was the Greenlight program and way tougher to get into than today’s EA. It predated Infinifactory by over a year. I hope they put more effort into research for the rest of their weird philosophical article, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Dwarf fortress is genre defining, but it’s a different genre, colony simulation.
Factorio pretty much single handedly inspired the entire genre of automated factory games. Most of the others explicitly cite Factorio as inspiration or have clear influences from it.
Some credit to be given to the Minecraft redstone mod, of course.
This year I was recommended Terra Nil, a “reverse city builder” as the developer Free Lives call it in the store page.

FYI, key resellers actually cost game publishers money, due to frequent credit card chargebacks. Many indie devs have stated that if you’re going to buy something from a key reseller, they would actually prefer you to just pirate it instead.

Because you have the full choice to not buy and support it, if you think the price is unreasonable. It’s not a vital need, and nobody’s forcing customers to buy it. Housing, food, healthcare, we don’t have a choice. Buy or die. A video game? Not so much. The issue is not game publishers overcharging, it’s players who moan and whine… AND THEN BUY IT ANYWAY, thus ensuring the publishers will continue the practice
Because it doesn’t qualify as bullshit. Company made a product, set a price. Either you find it worth the price or not, but either way what’s the reason to kick up a fuss over an optional good
I’m not saying they knew what they bought, I’m saying it’s on them for choosing to buy before they knew what they were buying. Seriously, people need to take responsibility for their choices already.
In this particular case, it’s not on the publisher. The switch is an old console, and there’s only so much they can do with the hardware. It’s not a particularly big surprise to anybody familiar with the technology.
Why SHOULDN’T we hold consumers to task for their bad decisions? They are arguably making things worse for the rest of us, by repeatedly rewarding bad behaviour from companies. There is no good reason for them to preorder, they just had to be the first instead of waiting a day for reviews to appear. Well, if you’re going to be impatient, guess what? The risk is on you.
I didn’t suggest fixing it. I said the consumers consciously made a bad decision, and they should take responsibility for it. I’m tired of grown ups acting like kids.
