- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
Hopefully it’ll come out on steam next year or something as a single complete edition, just like Control.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 3 weeks ago:
It was a good decision. It was also smart of them to review the initial 100 planet goal to add some much needed context
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 3 weeks ago:
I understand, what confused me was your claim about the common understanding of the term when there are very much two valid and ubiquitous contexts.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 3 weeks ago:
I can understand you have different criteria for dedicated servers, but private servers are certainly not generally characterized by still being on 1st party hardware. You need only look at private servers for Minecraft, WoW, and the like
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
I would say private server is more what you’re referring to, also CIG’s wording, but maybe agree to disagree. A quick search says that they haven’t cancelled that feature, but it’ll appropriately be the very last thing they work on
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
How are they gone? The current servers are hosted by CIG, there’s no p2p or host server. How would that even work for an MMO?

Meshing tests have gone up to 2000 and the shards that were left on overnight were 300-500. The current evocati build of 4.0 has meshing enabled, just limited to 100 for now
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
Personally, I don’t think they should be aiming for 100 anymore, even if it was promised. That number was for the original pitch and was arbitrarily high since it was for a much shallower and easier to create game
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
Today was day one of Citizencon and CIG revealed a lot of stuff that shows they’re still working to give players the game they want. Most of it was actually tech to answer the scalability problem for everyone wondering how they’re going to get to 100 star systems when they still only have 1
- Comment on 12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development? 4 weeks ago:
Stat Citizen has its problems, but it’s literally not vaporware since there’s something available that you can download and play with.
- Comment on Cloud Imperium quietly steal Star Citizen developers' weekends from under them with mandated overtime in the lead up to Citizencon 1 month ago:
Who okayed this article? It’s just a signal boost of the Inside Gaming article with nothing new added besides anti-Cloud Imperium fluff. Also, they actually misrepresent the lieu time given, conflating the Citizencon lieu time for the Squadron 42 lieu time that has a restriction on when it can be used. As far as the original article goes, there aren’t any know restrictions on the former.
- Comment on Resident Evil and No More Heroes creators join long list of devs who think Metacritic is bad for game dev 1 month ago:
This makes sense coming from Suda51. I imagine other devs whose games have mostly cult followings would agree as well. Metacritic has the exact same problems as Rotten Tomatoes.
- Comment on GE-Proton 9-12 released with fixes for Star Citizen, Bully: Scholarship and more 2 months ago:
Anyone use proton-ge for Star Citizen? Would like to use it because it’s more up to date than wine-ge, but mouse sensitivity just doesn’t feel right in comparison
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 2 months ago:
I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:
- a review system
- remote play
- the workshop
- discussion threads
- cards and the points store
and that’s just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.
Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod. It’s not difficult or complicated to set up and it works extremely well

Number go up

Is this the same? Almost every original word is swapped out
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 5 months ago:
The Closed Alpha playtest isn’t an invitation to publicly review, it’s an invitation to playtest. They’re trying to gather data and feedback on an inherently feature-incomplete and unpolished game to help with development. There are going to be private channels for feedback and the playtest data itself is like feedback so public channels are redundant. Obviously Marvel is also just trying to dodge criticism, but that’s not a mutually exclusive reason.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 5 months ago:
How? The agreement restricts public statements, not negative feedback as a whole.
- Comment on Does it seem odd to track my lifespan? 6 months ago:
It’s probably unusual. I hope that’s what your friend meant. If something you do is unusual, it doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop doing it.
