Huge mobile games like this compete with each other fiercely. Part of that is being able to turn around updates, events, fixes and so on quickly. The business buzzword is Live Ops.

- Comment on France's left-wing presidential candidate has opinions on GTA 6 and the discless PlayStation fiasco 1 week ago:
Typical politician talking about things people want but isn’t actually going to change.
The problem with games is that they are ruled by IP law, which was codified globally a few decades ago and is completely anti-consumer. Even if a country wanted to change them, it’s likely the US would crush them before that.
- Comment on Are products "for curly hair" supposed to straighten hair, make them more curly, or just formulated not to effect the curl at all? 1 week ago:
I think it’smostly a problem that straight hair is taken as the default and everything is made with that in mind.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
It needs to look as much of as a game as the others, that’s why they make a box for a code.
Which is a stupid reason but sales people are like this so.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
This won’t come to PC and will most certainly have the most invasive anti cheat possible. Hard pass
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
To sell in physical stores so parents and other people can buy them as gifts.
- Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ? 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry but this was 10+ years ago. I’m sure FDroid will have something much better than what I had back then.
- Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ? 3 weeks ago:
IIRC the app I was using had it’s own so braces, curly braces and so on were easy to type
- Comment on Is coding possible on smart phones ? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but I’ve only done it for learning purposes. I wouldn’t recommend it for any other reason.
- Comment on Valheim 1.0 & Deep North: Sept 9. 4 weeks ago:
It definitely was unfinished, and felt like it, for most of its life. They just took forever to update stuff and lost the mindshare it had in the endless sea of survival crafting games. It’s been 5 years and they are finally finishing the last zone.
- Comment on Factorio 2.1 will be the last major update as Wube Software are moving on 5 weeks ago:
You are thinking of Dyson Sphere Program, which does look good and runs well at scale. Until you have a few star systems running dyson spheres, then your run is likely over.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
Whether deserved or not Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy is always forgotten compared to its predecessor. But I don’t care, it’s the best one for me.
In the same vein The Force Unleashed II is the one I remember more fondly. It’s worse than the previous one certainly, but the story does have some nice moments and playing it on the hardest difficulty makes you actually have to block correctly and plan your movement right to survive the onslaught of fire by the stormtroopers.
- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 1 month ago:
That’s like arguing that people wouldn’t smoke or do drugs if they knew the effects it has.
- Comment on Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater) 1 month ago:
So the headline is just hyperbole? What a weird editorial choice
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I agree with you but then I see people calling themselves gacha gamers and hopping into every new gacha regardless of genre or gameplay so I just assumed I just didn’t get it.
- Comment on Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater) 1 month ago:
I’m having a hard time understanding this piece. How is updating the system’s firmware causing bricked hardware? Is the new firmware purposefully useless?
- Comment on Destiny 2: Every End is a New Beginning 1 month ago:
The only reason I didn’t buy Marathon was because of the AC not working on linux. What a waste but at least I saved some money.
- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 1 month ago:
Auto-play mobile games not only already exist but are super popular.
- Comment on Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer 1 month ago:
Gambling has nothing to do with understanding probability or not.

They don’t spend that money in one go, and a new player shouldn’t either. Learning the game is already pretty daunting, adding dozens of DLC mechanics will only make it harder.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Any gacha.
“Oh I got so lucky! It only took 20 pulls to get Boobina!”
Yeah man, bet that felt a lot better than just unlocking her by doing her story quests like any normal game. Maybe you need to be a gambling addict or something.
- Comment on Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in? 1 month ago:
Until you reach the point where you realise dying loses you nothing. Then you don’t get tilted anymore.
- Comment on Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in? 1 month ago:
For a lot of people being able to blame luck or teammates makes losing less frustrating.
- Comment on Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing 1 month ago:
Most blacklist racers were just doing a few poses and aura farming to be fair
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 1 month ago:
Yeah, I wanted to upgrade this year or the next, but unfortunately, well.
- Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ? 1 month ago:
Xbox One S. The library was crappy and the games are more expensive than on steam for some reason I can’t fathom.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 2 months ago:
Well most new “soulslike” games, specially by smaller or indie studios, are just action games in disguise anyway.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
Remember when steam introduced the 2h refund policy out of their own volition rather than being forced by multiple governments? Yeah me neither.
