  They‘re essentially a corpse that gets electrocuted every now and then to emulate nerve signals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alleged Fable concept art seems to point towards a return to Fable 2's rogueish hive of scum and pub islands⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You‘re right. I love Fable. The first one that is. I‘ve played two and three as well simply because I enjoyed the first one so much. I probably won‘t play this one. Ever. Microsoft can piss off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What the f***': Modding arch-sorcerer casually invents Minecraft x Hytale crossplay, defies laws of god and man alike⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hytale is literally modded minecraft. Doesn‘t mean it shares the exact same code or engine but damn it‘s modded Minecraft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Monster Hunter Wilds and Matrix 4, huh? It looks to me like the Game Awards don‘t have the best track record for choosing their last big reveal if that‘s what people expect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are endless assets online for cheap. It‘s kind of the last thing you would need AI for. If only more people realized that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  After so many years of development drama and criticism surrounding Hypixel themselves even before they actively worked on this… I think I‘m good. Playable doesn‘t mean you will get the full experience for s one time payment. Hypixel love subscription models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale is OUT NOW in early access!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would guess it‘s probably closer to Roblox or modern Minecraft. Hypixel started the project to have a constant money flow so expect monetization left and right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facial age checks are now required to chat with anyone on Roblox⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All these images will get leaked if they haven‘t already. It‘s a nightmare situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I saw Pokemon Legends ZA for 48% off recently. Not that it‘s worth that much or that I would ever buy a Switch 2. I actually stumbled upon that sale randomly. But the fact it‘s on sale already speaks volumes. Nintendo is likely in panic mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Game Websites in the early 00s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except Wario isn‘t really there anymore. Probably because the greedy guy is running things in the background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also look at the „GTA VI ?“. All the parts have different sizes, the VI is weirdly placed to the right and the question mark is placed in a super weird way. The letters don’t even look like a cohesive typeface. That‘s textbook AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help is needed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Electric Cellboy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t see why. All the hardware you need is already integrated in their data centers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 2025 Steam Awards Winners⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You weren‘t kidding. These are all real winners for the players. And I wouldn‘t say last year was totally packed. At least not for me but this is a great list of games to add to your pile of shame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World's Video Game Companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Groombox actually that big or is it based on what the CEO says it is worth? I remember reading some ridiculous statements about their net worth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they just announced a handheld „Xbox“ that can‘t even play Xbox games but relies on Xbox Gamepass and your PC library. They don‘t do consoles anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There won‘t really be a next Xbox. I think Microsoft made that very clear. It‘s all cloud gaming for AAA from here on out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arc raiders is a horrible game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t say this often but that is a legitimate skill issue on your side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Among 2025 games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a fine list of games to play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lootboxes are sooo 2010s though. It‘s all about season passes and general FOMO. I doubt they will correctly identify and properly regulate „addictive features“ in a way that puts an end to that but I guess we‘ll see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Witcher 4 will be an Epic Games and console exclusive, won‘t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People still contribute to this scam? That‘s a shame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it will pop. But oh no! Now what do we do with all these data centers equipped with endless GPU power and RAM that we are building? Oh, I know! Cloud gaming! In fact let‘s buy up even more GPUs and RAM then rent the computing power to companies Epic Games and Valve!

  This is the future of mainstream gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree but we have barely seen anything of what cloud gaming will become. Platforms like Steam will introduce it too. Especially after the Steam Machine is turning out to be such a headache for them because of uncertain hardware prices. This will happen and I am very afraid a lot of users will welcome it with open arms. We could be witnessing the end of home computers right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italians at Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like it a lot more. Especially with that fake marzipan in the middle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You think prices will fall now that there are giant new capable data centers everywhere? AAA Gaming will become synonymous with cloud gaming and the hardware to run games at home won‘t be produced anymore. They’ll build even more data centers instead. It‘s a much more useful business model to establish tech feudalism for the overly rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is if nobody sells affordable hardware or hardware at all anymore, the only path they can go is cloud gaming. That means from here on onward ownership is dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Execs genuinely couldn‘t care less about what people want. They are the architects this trend away from physical media.

  I’m making the prediction that any hardware that isn‘t essentially just a screen that connects to the internet will become more and more expensive to the point no one can afford them. Major brands that we all know and use today will withdraw from manufacturing end consumer products.

  I‘m guessing 10 years from now virtually everyone will be forced into cloud service subscriptions for gaming because the hardware to run these games won‘t be sold to us anymore. For a while Chinese companies might try fill the void the likes of Nvidia and AMD left but that will be short lived too.

  You will go retro and learn to take care of your soon old timer hardware that will become ever more pricey to fix as spare parts get more rare and ridiculously expensive expensive or you will own nothing and be happy with that.

  Yes this is all speculative but it‘s a vision of the future that becomes more and more obvious to me by the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved the idea but it had too much of an impact on how a battle plays out. I hope it‘s kept but toned down considerably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That‘s nice but I‘ll wait until reviews flock in to confirm this. There is a point when a studio is too big to pre-order. I‘ve seen this pattern before and know better than to ride the hype wave from one super success all the way to the next „more ambitious than ever“ title.
