- Comment on Dev of cancelled Life By You game shares some information, including just two weeks notice of cancellation after being given the thumbs-up a few weeks prior 1 week ago:
Disastrous, unoptimized launch. Paid DLC whilst the game was still full of performance issues (DLC which was later made free, after outcry. But their hand was shown).
Probably much more, but those are the two big things I remember.
- Comment on Elden Ring: Shadows of the Erdtree will come with a day 1 patch with various improvements 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. And consider the verification process games have to go through on consoles, probably easier to do it all in one big update.

It’s nice to play something casual with something else playing in the background

Rock liver here, what happened?
- Comment on Xbox Reportedly Debating Putting Call Of Duty On Game Pass Alongside Price Hike 1 month ago:
I doubt I’ll stick around if it gets more expensive. Price hikes were inevitable, I guess. It was good while it lasted.
- Comment on The Witcher 3's REDkit mod tools launch May 21st, enabling a new era of ambitious overhauls 1 month ago:
I keep avoiding RPS links for that reason.
Oh, you want to withdraw consent? Have fun disabling them separately for each individual partner.
- Comment on HELLDIVERS 2 sees over 130K bad reviews on Steam as Sony double down 1 month ago:
How do you mean, Halo is already on PC?
And the issue isn’t the account linking in and of itself, but this being a sudden requirement after the game has already come out and people have already purchased the game.
On top of that: PlayStation accounts are unavailable in many countries where this game has already been sold. Where it may have been a deal-breaker for some, others will effectively be locked out if no change to the policy is made.
Either way, adding this requirement after already having sold the game is ridiculous.

Nor did PUBG invent battle royale
- Comment on Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions 3 months ago:
Also, now that I’ve seen it; these feel a lot more egregious. There are ones for reviving your NPC teammates (once).

Regardless, if people don’t make a stink things won’t go back and most likely will get even worse.
So, I say, good on them.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms harvesting in a certain direction is faster - but not for long, as 1.6 fix due 3 months ago:
Buffing certainly has this place, don’t get me wrong. But recently there seems to have been this narrative about how developers should only buff, never nerf; which is blatantly not true. A narrative the original comment seemed to be feeding into and I wanted to call out.

“Nerfing” can make a game better.
While it may not apply in this case, telling developers to only buff and never nerf can break the balance of a game.
- Comment on Halo Infinite Update to Bring Networking Overhaul, Easy Anti-Cheat, and More Next Week 3 months ago:
They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.
But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.

The single player star wars FPS got canned though

Basically Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator

Just because there’s worse, doesn’t mean we should accept bad.
- Comment on Silent Hill: Ascension fails to impress with greedy monetisation and cluttered UI 7 months ago:
On Samsung phones you can make stickers just the same way you can on iPhone, with the stock gallery app.
Dunno about Google Photos.

- Comment on Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left? 8 months ago:
Am a fan too. I’d mention YongYea here, but the unorganized way he makes 20 minute videos on every topic really kills it for me.
SkillUp’s weekly summary is much nicer.

But that still means they had your plaintext password at some point.
