- Comment on Capcom doubles down on its decision to go pay-per-view during the Street Fighter League despite the fact that nobody really likes it 3 weeks ago:
A sustainable scene wouldn’t have dropped from a $40M prize pool to $4M. The issue is that the esports scene was not self funded, it was funded by a percentage of the base game economy.
The reduction in prize pool being related to the removal of battle pass shows that fans never cared about supporting the esports scene, they only wanted the battle pass for the skins or whatever it is that you get from it.
Even if the Dota 2 esports was sustainable, that would be one game out of dozens.

They know nobody is going to purchase the pay-per-view, but I guess they don’t care since the alternative is not getting any money anyways. Esports was never sustainable because fans refuse to spend money, so they rely on shady sponsorships from gambling sites and Saudi money.

Capcom should start their patent for 2D fighting games and see what happens to Super Smash Bros
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 2 months ago:
You’re better off committing tax fraud and admitting to it in court than ignoring a cease and desist from Nintendo. People never learn. They probably don’t even care about the $2 Million, they just do it for the love of the game and to make an example out of you.

The bill very explicitly calls out ByteDance and any website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application owned by them.
- Comment on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl | Review Thread 11 months ago:
I honestly cannot trust game reviewers after seeing some of the reviews for this exceptional game
I don’t understand your point. Do you want them to ignore the bugs and performance issues? Would you be happier if the reviews lied to you and said the game was perfect? If they took that route, I guarantee you’d be complaining about that as well.
where the fuck was that when Starfield came out?
“They didn’t complain about that game, so they shouldn’t complain about any game ever!”

They don’t support new technologies (Wayland), why would they drop support for old ones?
- Comment on Last-minute PS5 Pro leaks indicate system will pack 16.7 TFLOPS GPU with 16GB dedicated GDDR6 VRAM — plus 2GB DDR5 system RAM 1 year ago:
That’s like saying clock rate and core count are fake terms. Sure, by themselves they might not mean much, but they’re part of a system that directly benefits from them being high.
The issue with teraflops metric is that it is inversely proportional (almost linearly) to the bit-length of the data, meaning that teraflops@8-bit is about 2x(teraflops@16-bit). So giving teraflops without specifying the bit-length it comes from is almost useless. Although you could make the argument that 8-bit is too low for modern games and 64-bit is too high of a performance trade off for accuracy gain, so you can assume the teraflops from a gaming company are based on 16-bit/32-bit performance.
