• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, because review bombing doesn’t exist on steam. You have to own the game to review it. A customer leaving a negative review is not review bombing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Molyneaux is of course an extreme case, but I do find it remarkable how many of these “legends” of old utterly failed to replicate their success later down the line. Romero, Mitsoda, Roberts, so many more, all in the lamplight for their success in the 90s to very early 2000s, but utterly unable to live up to their reputation for near 3 decades after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghost in the Shell – 1997 Developer Interview - shmuplations.com⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have vague memories of playing the demo on a friend’s playstation, I think at the time I was kinda disappointed that you only got to play the fuchikoma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah a lot of the comments I have seen are outright bizarre, EA won’t change in any noticeable form. It’s maximum profit extraction now and it will remain maximum profit extraction after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude had entirely disappeared from my timelines before every youtuber and lemmy poster seemingly felt the need to tell me about how naughty he is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, I don’t watch his content, but looking at his actual viewership numbers, he doesn’t even remotely have the impact to make or break a petition by himself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh he absolutely was, throughout the 80s King was heavily cocaine and alcohol addicted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Obsidian hasn’t been an indie for at least 7 years now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, often learning anything more than the meme itself is that way, if only because you often find out about the rather sad route many of those early viral meme people went down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect they don’t even believe in this themselves, this is just a last ditch attempt at squeezing a little more cash out of dumb investors before declaring bankruptcy eventually. Seeing how one of their investors was Square Enix, that might even work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony shows off conceptual immersive gaming tech that lets you stand in a TV box and sniff The Last of Us⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Headlines. This is literally just a marketing thing, just like every other instance of the tech before it. No one is ever actually going to build this for home use

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah galaxy is sadly a bit of a mess. Back when i was still running windows it just broke its own update capabilities once or twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “For a moment, there was hope.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey Sony, Can You Not⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why’d Sony Interactive take them over? If anything it’d be the Sony group, which is japanese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Unknown 9: Awakening’ Arrives To 200 Steam Players, Poor Reviews⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Much as I love WOTR, hard disagree there. BG 3 is much better in terms of reactivity and consequences, polish, and all of its mechanics work properly. Meanwhile WOTR has the stumps that are 50% of its mythic paths, the not particularly well received crusade mode, and one of the worst dungeons I can remember in rpg history (I will freely admit that this last point is not as objective as the rest of my argument, but I know I am far from alone with this opinion).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  An Ubisoft exec described Skull & Bones as the first AAAA game. Given the generally unfavorable reception this game got, “AAAA game” has become an expression of mockery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, you could, but given beths track record in that regard, why would they? They have been perfectly happy shipping Skyrim to new platforms with the same bugs for nearly a decade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's incredibly ironic that ChatGPT constantly asks me to verify that I'm not a bot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am convinced they use the data from that for AI training
