  That‘s what I thought. I wonder if there was any game they could‘ve made in this genre that would‘ve met THEIR expectations. There‘s money to be made for sure, but THAT kinda money with a fighting game? Just no way.

  The ©ash-in button

  Their marketing dept. - if they have one - has to be insane

  It‘s already thick in sarcasm through their phrasing alone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t really get the fuss then. If people are crazy enough that they can’t wait 6 more hours to watch an ad… then they gotta pay the crazy tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is scummy to charge money to see an ad, but why would you pay money to see an ad to begin with. As if that trailer or whatever isn‘t gonna be everywhere within an hour. Someone‘s gonna screencap and upload it and since it‘s GTA 6, it‘s gonna spread like wildfire, so no problem anyway. The attempt is indeed scummy though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass layoffs expected at EA as the now-private publisher reportedly tells its new debt masters that it's going to cut $700 million in annual costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just trimming some fat (and a leg or two)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass layoffs expected at EA as the now-private publisher reportedly tells its new debt masters that it's going to cut $700 million in annual costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was looking at that recently as well, but saw the reviews are at mixed now…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you sleep on for too long?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From a casual standpoint: Hidden Object games. There‘s not enough good ones (and lots of games tagged as them which really aren‘t) and I find them so immensly relaxing.

  Examples: Hidden Folks, Hidden through Time, varying sorts of 100 hidden Cats

  Basically „Where‘s Waldo“. Really just wish there were more of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the rarest Steam achievement you got?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Something from a Cities Siylines DLC nobody played.

  All of my 0.01ish% rarity cheevos are largely easy af things from DLCs or content updates of (somewhat) popular games that were released when most people had already moved on from these games

  The really fucking hard stuff is usually around 0.5-3% (CoD BO3 zombies cheevos are insanely common for how hard they are)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you consider GTA VI overpriced?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do I think it‘s objectively overpriced? No, it‘s the biggest game on the planet that will sell stupid amounts almost no matter what they do. I‘m actually surprised it‘s not 99.99

  Do I think it‘s subjectively overpriced? Absolutely. I‘m not paying more than like 25ish bucks for a game. The games I paid more for (mostly launch games) I’ve come to regret the majority of. They mostly just sit in my library and become part of the already huge backlog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lazy weekend with my Switch Lite and Octopath Traveler⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing it currently and it absolutely does (1 did as well tho!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lazy weekend with my Switch Lite and Octopath Traveler⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazing game(s). I played it for 3 hrs on my Switch and then bought it on Steam to play it on my Deck at full res 60fps cause I wanted to experience it the best way I could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hardly buy anything on release, only the occassional indie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 708 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can really get behind your taste in games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 702 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I can watch others play them (and I love to) but being the one playing, I‘m basically in perma „I‘m about to get jumpscared“ ultra tense mode and don‘t enjoy it at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the kinda games they make cost a lot of money and don‘t have the mass appeal to rake huge RoI in, still wish clearly talented studios like these could do their thing in a smaller scope under publishers that don‘t calculate MS kinda RoIs instead of just being closed down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rayman Legends Retold - Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Loved the original and honestly… with its 2D art style, it might be the superior way to play the game IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Releasing this week — May 26, 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was so hyped about 007 and then the previews came out: „It‘s about 30% or less Hitman and 70% Uncharted“

  Well, not what I‘m looking for. Getting more Hitman is gonna be a long, long wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Competitive (e)sports are usually repetitive to a certain degree. I wouldn‘t call it very repetitive anyway. It’s mostly the same map, yes, but football and chess are also always on the same „map“. With 160+ champs and their interactions and the strategizing aspect of it, I never felt like a match was going like another.

  The players are mostly insufferable (like in other competitive games) and League‘s too much of a timesink due to average game time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don‘t think people who can‘t cough up 1000 bucks for a console will cough them up for a PC. They just don‘t have that kinda money to spend on videogames. It‘ll lead to people stickin with what they have and those who don‘t have anything (especially kids) will play games on their phones or doomscroll all day. So the ehole next gen might be crossgen and/or even tank the industry in general. That‘s my prediction.

  It makes me happy during a very rough time seeing you still going strong with this series, crazy consistency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huge Nintendo Switch 2 Update Adds Handheld Mode Boost For Switch 1 Titles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they done something about the panel‘s pixel response times? I was hoping they‘d eventually apply a small overclock to at least get 60 fps smear-free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games with friends⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  PEAK is literally peak. Such a gem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The term „AI art“ irks me, IMO it tries to legitimize the virtual theft that it’s based on by implying there‘s a creative, artistic process behind it. It‘s gotta be a lobbied term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition — Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Next do 3 and a buncha Fire Emblem games and I might feel less buyers‘ remorse towards my Switch 2. I don‘t know why there isn‘t a buttload of Switch 2 upgrades, it‘s making money with patches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit‘s been fucking expensive before this year and most triple-A stuff ran like doodoo anyway. Now prices are just even worse and somehow that‘ll make the suits care? At best we‘ll get the same level of bad.

  MH Wilds has been out for a year and today‘s patch pushed it to the bottom range of acceptable.

  Even if somehow more money was put into engineering now, the argument would be weak but it‘s naive on its own merit already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Acknowledges Steam Deck Shortages Due To Global Memory and Storage Issues⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘m pretty worried about my devices, ngl. I never really had a problem with PC components or consoles breaking, I‘m very careful with my stuff, but Murphy‘s law… Something will probably break just outta warranty and when a stick of ram gets me a car

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can go AAA for cheap no problem, people just need to not get FOMO‘d out of your minds and half-resist the compulsion to jump on the newest shiny thing immediately.

  The newest DOOM is around 27 Euros rn and not even a year old. Buy on release - or worse yet, pre-order - and you‘ll get the worst deal (financially as well as technically).

  Game prices are fine for me because I literally just wait until they‘re at a point where I don‘t see them as a waste. In the meantime, there‘s 203 untouched games in my Steam library that had reached that point in the past already. Not even mentioning the hundreds of games I got for free between GOG, Prime, and Epic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition out today⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not very nostalgia but I wish they‘d pick up where Legends left off, that game was incredible
