- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 1 week ago:
Its why there is no real point in deciding whether something should be a film or a tv series because you can just release it as a four part miniseries or stretch things out for a full eight and so forth.
There absolutely is. A movie is still expected to be watched in one go in its entirety and so is an episode of a mini series. It has a huge effects on the pacing of the media and how you segment episodes of one.

This sounds like the latency would be insane though.
- Comment on Civilization 7 developers Firaxis have laid off an unspecified number of workers, 2K confirm 2 weeks ago:
Honestly that’s just how Civ has been for the past few releases, most people don’t get it until the typical set of 2 major expansion packs come out and eventually go on sale. The base price of the full package has always been crazy high.

Cool, maybe I’ll give it a shot again sometime

When I tried it a few years back there was this really strange field of view and input lag that felt really clunky when moving around the world. Anyone knows if that’s been fixed?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards not eligible for preservation by Japan’s National Diet Library, officials say 4 weeks ago:
But if you ever wondered if the xbox one reveal event would have gone down a lot better today… just look at how confused people are over what the hell they are even buying from the big n.
As someone that’s always been using Steam, I really didn’t understand the issue with it either.

I refuse to give Facebook money and honestly if I didn’t have a WMR headset, I wouldn’t even have bothered.

With how much CoD costs and how the player base tends to abandon the game once the new one releases, Game Pass is pretty much the most logical way of getting your hands on CoD. I reckon most people play it through that.

Hmm could I ask what difficulty you’re playing at? I’m still at the early chapters though.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages | Update 2 Release Notes 1 month ago:
Did the variety of enemies that require different weapons not already provide a reason to use different guns? I actually found myself swapping weapons a lot to be able to overheat shields, deal with special enemies and more.
- Comment on Steam and itch.io “mustn't succumb to unjust pressure with no legal basis,” Japan free speech organization urges amidst mass censorship of games 1 month ago:
I think it’s quite different though. Companies self censoring themselves is quite a hot different from a separate entity implementing censorship by terminating payment systems. Indie devs can still make such content. The mastercard/visa situation on the other hand effectively kills it for any team producing such content and I think that is far worse.

Take a quick look at DLsite and Pixiv, Japan hardly censors anything other than pixelation of specific body parts. If anything, it feels like the west is heading towards much more intense censorship.

- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 month ago:
This is a country that has porn mags being sold in convenience stores and plenty of stores where you can find content for all sorts of fetishes both online and offline. They also have 2 huge indie artist markets every year where at least 50% of the content being sold is porn. Each event gets about 300k people. Only thing I can think of regarding censorship here are the mosaics and those are only really there due to a very old law that no lawmakers are gonna bother with expending political capital to reverse.

They’re gift cards that you can buy from a different online store that’s from a different company. Then you redeem them on DLsite.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 1 month ago:
What’s stopping them from doing what DLsite did in Japan by using credits purchased off site? Seems like an alternative business opportunity there.

- Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios 2 months ago:
You’re also not having a random conversation on the street, this information is just a quick search away. By making up numbers and creating a bigger issue when existing issues are already strong enough of an argument, you hurt your own credibility and attacking people for pointing that out is even worse.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 months ago:
Yea ally things considered, I think the device is reasonably priced for what it is. The Deck was exceptionally cheap on launch so I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. The specs of the Deck weren’t really mind blowing either when it came out, what made it great was the package as a whole and for the price, it did great. The specs of this device is already way beyond what the Deck has even accounting for the 3 year gap.
- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 2 months ago:
As much as I like my Deck, they’re not really able to fulfill the role of a Switch for party games since a number of them are exclusives and setting up controllers are a bit more tedious than joycons which are essentially plug and play.
Most PC handhelds are also fairly bulky and heavy, I find myself struggling to hold them unless I’m resting it on my lap or a table while sitting so this may not be great for a 7 year old.
