They wanted it to be a live service, which is famously expensive to develop. They have to pay people to be constantly developing content on top of the insane prices of releasing and marketing a AAA game in the first place. Usually these games make money through microtransactions and/or subscription fees but no one wanted to play the game in the first place so hardly anyone was buying any of the extra content after initial release.
Obviously Sony is unhappy with the performance of the PS5 considering how much they’ve been trying to push PC ports lately. Not to mention Square Enix citing disappointing sales for their last couple of critically acclaimed Final Fantasy games as the reason they’re going to focus on multi-platform support going forward.
Today we got the information that Dragon Quest III remake comes to every console and PC, as well as Yuji Horii want Dragon Quest XII worthy of the posthumous work of the two [Akira Toriyama and Koichi Sugiyama] who passed away. I take that as an opportunity to talk about the Dragon Quest series. It’s one of the longest running...
TF2, according to steam charts, is the third most played game on steam. It’s been overrun by bots for years now, and recently a petition started that’ll be physically printed and delivered to valve HQ. If you care about TF2, or if you can spare some time, please sign the petition...
I think AI could be great for more powerful procedural generation. Rather than just using AI generated textures like some games do now I think AI could be great for tiling and adding variation to pre existing textures within games without making it look “AI generated” for example.
They have some new IPs but they’re purely game publishers nowadays, primarily more indie and AA titles afaik Edit: write this without looking, looks like they do also sell old consoles and some controllers and such as well.
It’s wild seeing overwatch 2 do so poorly while world of warcraft is simultaneously having its best expansion cycle it’s had in a very very long time between retail actually being fun and season of discovery
It’s actually kind of a fucked up term but a lot of people don’t consider it, it’s both super racist and classist. I don’t really think less of anyone for saying it because it’s such a common term but I personally don’t like using it. The original implication is that poor white folks are “trash”, comparing them to enslaved African Americans.
The Wikipedia article even describes it very much like how I did. Like I said, I understand how people view it but the word at the least has very nasty roots
I’ve heard a lot of poor folk use it too, it’s basically just a derogatory term for a redneck in the Midwest where I live. I don’t think a lot of people really understand it’s implications.
Iirc they originally wanted the iron man movies to show the damages done by his behavior and his alcoholism more like the comics but they ended up getting rushed to make a sequel to cash in on the popularity of the first movie instead
Yeah, I also read his wife was concerned about the idea at the time. Which is completely fair, but I personally think that it’s part of why RDJ worked so well as Iron Man, he could relate to the character.

I mean, it’s not like people are just tossing in sequences of DNA willy nilly and selling it at Walmart, tho. I see nothing inherently wrong with crispr GMO crops, so long as we know how the transplanted DNA affects the plant in detail.
One piece is based for having the main characters be like, 19 at youngest iirc. So many shows (like JoJo) will have dudes at 6 foot 5 and muscly as shit and women who look easily in their 20s and go “theyre 15 tho”.
Say what you will about Odas weird art style, at least his characters look their age and he isn’t making weird sexualized teenagers.
