How long should they wait? A quarter of a year seems fair to me.
And it’s only a day early, lol
- Comment on Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer 2 days ago:
You’re 100% right, but it’s also a problem of devs underpricing themselves. They’ll work for 2 years on a game and then set its regular price at $5, which actually limits its reach (shoppers see the price and skip over it, thinking it’s low quality) and helps make a race to the bottom that’s already destroyed the mobile market.
Silksong isn’t going to upend the market, the headline is silly, and it’s not underpriced since they were going to sell millions upon millions of copies anyway. But the wider discussion of pricing is important since lots of developers don’t seem to understand the larger picture.

- Comment on Sony is reportedly planning a Nintendo Switch-style PlayStation 6 portable | VGC 6 days ago:
Steam mostly prioritizes what makes them money, and free to play games don’t on PC

Switch 2 was the fastest selling console of all time in the US and has sold roughly 75% more than s1 at this point in its life

I agree, I thought FC5 was great until the point it just got repetitive. Played the latter half in co-op, it was absurd fun with the little helicopters!

Been playing some Battlefield 3 after it went on sale, mostly multiplayer. It’s still fun! There are occasional hackers but they get vote kicked within a few minutes.
I’m impressed how well it stands up graphically, and aside from a few control quirks it plays great. The biggest problem is that everyone else on the servers has been playing for the past 15 years so I’m pretty outmatched 😆 though I can occasionally get a nice sniper kill with my recon loudout

Yes! I would still like a failed animation when I miss a parry and ground clutter sometimes has annoying collision, but neither of those stop me from enjoying the experience that is there. Everything is at such a high standard that it’s hard for any single issue to overshadow it
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 27th 5 weeks ago:
I hope it does, it deserves it! The fact that most of my complaints are insignificant annoyances really says something to the quality of the game, everything works together so well!

Finished Expedition 33’s 2nd act last night and still processing it! Beautiful game, I adore the story and world they created

They do! I’d appreciate any feedback on a failure too, sometimes it feels like the worst parts of dark souls without the half-rolls lol
