- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 week ago:
What I don’t understand is why do developers make bad games? They should just make good games instead.
Gamers want good games, not bad games.
- Comment on ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24 1 week ago:
Its funny in this case because not “fucking it up” effectively means making a movie that’s barely related to the game outside of the basic setting.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 2 weeks ago:
Or you could always just not play the game? It’s that not an option?
- Comment on A Fond Farewell To Polygon, From The People Who Worked There - Aftermath 2 weeks ago:
Yup, at the end of the day, the community just wants content that glazes the games/devs they like and hates on the games/devs they don’t.
Doing anything else is going to make a lot of the community upset

- Comment on We’re finally getting our first glimpse of 12-year-old Camelot Unchained since last year in today’s dev stream | Massively Overpowered 4 weeks ago:
Wow. I actually did back this way back in the day and I swear I completely forgot about it for at least the last couple years until this post.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, thankfully with PC gaming there are no large corporations involved.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 4 weeks ago:
The lack of price drops aren’t really caused by tariffs up to this point.
Tariffs will be responsible for price increases however.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Man, development times are getting pretty crazy at this point. Hard to believe that we are starting to see decades between sequels to titles as a normal thing in the high end of the market.
It’s no wonder more games are aiming for games-as-a-service style models.
- Comment on Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer 8 months ago:
No Man’s Sky was much more lacking at release compared to how they sold the game. And they basically went radio silent for quite a long time.
I don’t see how the two situations are similar.
And No Man’s Sky isn’t that much better now anyways.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 8 months ago:
Filling fees for an arbitrator may be higher than filing a case in court.
Which is why Valve is making the change. They were paying a lot for this filings.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 8 months ago:
Steam is actually pretty decent, by company standards.
They aren’t doing this because they are decent. It’s because they were getting reamed on fees through people choosing the arbitration. I believe it was a law firm basically encouraging people to request arbitration because they would get paid every time a claim was submitted, regardless of the outcome.

Hard for me not to get excited about a new Monster Hunter.
Still have Rise/Sunbreak sitting on my backlog barely played, but I still hope this one turns out well.
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard Preview - IGN 8 months ago:
Yeah, I get not wanting to get too hyped about games ahead of time, but it feels like these days people are online to look for the next game to get angry about.

- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 8 months ago:
Also most quests are just “talk to npc, use Batman Vision to follow a trail, kill enemy, return”
This applies to a lot of games, even ones like Witcher 3.

- Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread 8 months ago:
Good luck figuring out how to avoid labeling every game every made as a “skinner box”. It’s basically a jaded person’s definition of what video games are at their core.
- Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread 8 months ago:
If you value your time, you wouldn’t be playing video games at all. As they are nearly an entertaining way to waste time.
All games waste either time, money, or both. So I guess we just have to make video games illegal now. Oh well. Was fun while it lasted.
- Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread 8 months ago:
Without being a gacha game, World of WarCraft is guilty of a lot of the same stuff.
I’m not a fan of trying to poison the well on this discussion by trying to bring in a lot of secondary issues and try to broaden the issue to the point of uselessness.
The biggest issue with gambling is the ability to lose your money.
Sure, you can waste time with World of Warcraft. But I can also waste time playing too much Baldur’s Gate 3, or Civilization, or by binging shows on Netflix.
But none of those allow me to spend thousands or tens of thousands by gambling on mechanics within the media itself.
How about we focus on that issue first?
- Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread 8 months ago:
But both are gambling.
Nah, they are not comparable in a meaningful way. Sure, at a high level, you can apply aspects of “gambling” to both examples. But the biggest and most important point is the ability to spend actual money for additional changes at “winning”.
People are against gaming because of some deep-seating fear of Random Number Generation by itself. They are against it because of how easy it is to lose money.
- Comment on Video Game Developers Are Leaving The Industry And Doing Something, Anything Else 8 months ago:
I meant more that a restaurant owner isn’t going to see or really get any value from an open source solution vs closed source specifically. They are just choosing a platform at a price point that works for them.
- Comment on Video Game Developers Are Leaving The Industry And Doing Something, Anything Else 8 months ago:
Restaurant owners don’t care about Open Source.
- Comment on Video Game Developers Are Leaving The Industry And Doing Something, Anything Else 8 months ago:
Because there aren’t developers working those jobs realizing that workers are being worked to the bone because of businesses refusing to add limits to how much demand can come through their door.
I’m not sure why you believe game developers would be better suited to this than people who actually do business software development. And it’s less about what the developers want to do with software than it is about what the people to are buying the software want to do with that software.
