How are they going to wriggle out of it this time?

This is a fascinating take.
Thanks!
You seem to be full in PvP.
There’s no “PvP only” mode in the game so you’re mistaken.
. . . it’s completely your opinion.
Duh.
- Comment on Arc Raiders is testing a PvE mode because "a large and growing group" refuse to hunt each other 3 days ago:
Aside from the official page, has there been any clarification for things like harvester and queen events being eligible for PvE only? They seem to be the events most requested to have PvP removed but where the risk from PvP seems impossible to avoid.

The ARC devs have been the latter up until this point.

Part of the core design was the risk that maybe another raider could turn on you. The devs continuously hammered home that this was a core part of the game which couldn’t be changed and would result in a lesser game. So was that a lie or is the PvE mode going to be a fundamentally worse game?
Each PvE only match is going to be a foot race to see who gets to the loot and extract first with zero risk; the bots pose so little danger that you could run around with an empty loadout and not worry about losing anything. Conversely, each PvP enabled lobby is going to be a deathmatch with no looting because you have nowhere else to use your weapon loadouts and you have the PvE mode for looting.
Looting with no risk gets super boring super fast; unless they provide some steep incentives for NOT queueing up in PvE only, this game is going to fall flat on its face.

I caved and bought Wardogs, pretty fun so far. Also added Zero Company to my ever growing backlog (fun so far, famous last words being that it feels a little easy so far).
I also got Blood of the Dawnwalker, very fun. I thought the time limit would feel painful but it’s refreshing to have to choose what to do rather than do literally everything.

Still pretty early in the game but it’s fun so far!

Back on my bullshit in DOTA whilst my ever growing backlog looms menacingly behind me. I need to get back into playing ARC but the loot RNG can be really annoying sometimes.

In this case, we need to migrate our friends and family one last time to something that will let us relax almost permanently for once.
But it’s always “one last time”. It’s always an uphill battle to switch over and then people give whatever reasons for why it’s bad and you’re expected to just quit it.
- Comment on 7 months ago:
I’m getting real tired of being told to delete my only methods of keeping in touch with friends and family. To what extent is someone expected to isolate themselves to the detriment of their own wellbeing to put a marginal dent on the bottom line of a multimillion dollar company?

I feel almost the exact opposite; I can jump into Helldivers 2 as if I’d never left and keep on playing but trying to play Space Marine 2 now feels like I’m constantly behind everyone else and trying to catch up.

Taking the work of artists without compensating them for your own commercial gain is ethically bankrupt and theft. The fact that you keep likening an AI model to actual person demonstrates that this isn’t a conversation worth continuing.

If looking at a picture is stealing. . .
Except that’s not what AI and those who use it are doing. This is a deliberate oversimplification to try to excuse derivative and copied works of artists who have had their art stolen. When you do it, it’s copyright infringement. When AI does it, you get a deluge of people who lack the patience and discipline to actually produce any creative work trying to excuse it.

Can’t wait for the AI to start giving me tips based on a previous entry in a series because that’s all it knows about, referring to mechanics which no longer exist and set-ups which are no longer possible.

Not wanting to sell a product isn’t censorship of the product. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what censorship is.
- Comment on "It's extremely frustrating and also f*cked up" - one of the world's best indie studios is facing shock closure following confounding Steam ban [Eurogamer] 9 months ago:
The majority of countries where Steam sells games have strict laws regarding the depiction of minors in any kind of situation which could be considered sexual, whether it’s a real child or not. It’s a very strange hill to die on when the devs clearly identified that was the issue and removed it from their game.

Whether you believe a platform should get backlash for platforming something in questionable taste and legality is entirely separate to whether they actually will.
