I’m sure some of the older game servers will be offline by now. Hopefully not Black Flag yet.
I’m enjoying Odyssey. I had 6 hours on the game from 2018, I decided to restart the game about a month ago, and now my total playtime is 82 hours. Last year I think I clocked about 10 hours on the Playstation in total. So this has definitely been a surprising amount of fun. I’m very driven by trophies and open world missions though.

I’m just wrapping up AC Odyssey. I’ll be heading back to Unity to finish it off soon. I still have a couple of things to finish in Black Flag, too.
I never really got into the online multiplayer aspects of AC. It really bugged me that they put trophies in the game on that, and now I can never plat the game.

Yeah, if they’re down for over three weeks then I imagine they’ll be forced to refund at least some of the PS+ price.

Last night I thought “this happened a few years ago, too, and we got free games as an apology” and now you tell me it was 14 YEARS ago!?

When Civ VIII rolls around they won’t send review copies to anyone who gave bad reviews last time.

All the people making the shitty decisions will be fine. Everyday people will be the ones to lose their jobs, as is always the way in these things. :-/

The whole point is for people to get it, though.

The “spoiler” above it is a clue about how to read it, the post title is a complete spoiler.

So funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:
You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.
For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.

You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?
Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to play it with them for the first time in the last couple of months. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but that’s all I’ve got to go on.

This is part of what’s going to make Light No Fire so cool. I’m sure that some of the tech now being added to NMS is being added as a way of testing or proving hypotheses for LNF. I hope we do see more of the LNF mechanics (like multiple biomes on one planet) be backported, like I suspect the improved water, and fishing mechanism may have been.

How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.

There will be even fewer games that require a Pro than there are games that require the PS5 in the first place.
Potentially I’m just aging out of gaming a little bit, but I can’t name 10 exclusives for the PS5, and it’s been around for years.
Spider-Man 2 was fun, but not like $700 of fun.

Perceiving it as a color seems more practical though. It’s not like we look at “red” and think “ah yes, a single wavelength of light”
