ampersandrew, in Half-Life YouTube legend Ross ‘Accursed Farms’ Scott, of Freeman’s Mind, is planning a lawsuit against Ubisoft over The Crew’s shutdown.
ampersandrew avatar

I came across this video yesterday, and I'm 100% on board with Ross and his stance toward games as a service, but this isn't a plan for a lawsuit; it's asking for help in creating the plan. I hope he can make something happen, because games as a service is going to leave a wake of destruction in the history of video games, but temper your expectations.

Binthinkin, in Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs

Get a better CEO then.

thorbot,

Idk that homeless guy looks like he’s got it figured out!

Oh please they couldn’t fucking handle moderation I don’t trust them to handle fucking money either.

Let it rot

hansl,

What’s your alternative? YouTube?

I’ll be honest, if the solution is Twitch, then I don’t need my problem solved. That is, compared to Twitch, I don’t need an alternative. Not having Twitch is a solid improvement over having Twitch. (kidding of course, but all too often it feels like that with just how bad the technical aspects of their site are)

legion02,

Kinda? Though they need a better discovery page for live streams.

funkless_eck,

Maybe we don’t actually need 10 hours of video game playing and bikini wearing at a time. Maybe that’s not a good product.

legion02,

Clearly people want it. Who are you to say what’s a good product?

funkless_eck,

The average^^@ user watches Twitch from 4pm to 5.30pm twice a week. There is absolutely a delta between what is required to be a profitable service, what is quality entertainment and what the service is and does currently.

^^@ this isn’t literal, but illustrative

legion02,

No idea how you can come to any of these conclusions given that viewer numbers are publicly visible. If this were true the streamers wouldn’t be live as much as they are outside these hours.

Phanatik, in Nacon exec says industry's problem is "too many games"

And I say that Nacon's problem is fucking over Frogwares over the Sinking City game. How about you pay the developers you scum

the_post_of_tom_joad, in Activision Blizzard workers speak out after Bobby Kotick’s CEO exit

Don’t read this trash ass article, it stealth-fluffs koticks dick like most media does to anyone with money.

Luck harder, article author! I see a spot you missed.

It’s not PC Games. It’s PCGamesN! See, it has an N!

PCGamesN!? How many sites have they had to make such that they’ve started numbering them using factorials?

0xtero, in CD Projekt Red Not Interested in Being Acquired; Believes They'll Be Bigger and Stronger in a Few Years

It would be nice if the entire world didn’t consolidate into two mega corps. Good on CDR for having their own vision.
CP2077 + Phantom Liberty are excellent. I just started a new playthrough. I wish it had released in this shape.

asg101, in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

RunEscape has a pretty expansive free to play game. Cartoonish gore.

WetBeardHairs,

God runescape is still a thing? I played that in middleschool…

PlasterAnalyst,

I think it's more popular in poorer countries because you don't need a high end PC to play it.

chaogomu,

I remember playing it a bit back in 2001.

And yes, it's still around.

There are even two versions that Jagex maintains, the main branch, and Old School Runescape, which is based around how the game was back in 2007-2009. (but with new stuff still added all the time)

WetBeardHairs,

Whoa that is a rabbithole I really should not let him know about. Talk about a time sink - people have been playing that for decades now.

A couple older games:

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. A very complex RTS with a pretty steep learning curve and advanced strategy. Awesome game but not casual.

Alien vs predator games are specifically 3 player (marine, alien , predator). Not sure if there is a modern version. Interesting because each of the 3 play differently.

I didn't see anyone mention Stardew Valley. My two kids and I put in 100+ hours on our farm. It became a nice, zen, pre-bedtime ritual.

stoy, in Good multiplayer games for 3 people

Unreal Tournament 2004, with few players it turns its normal frantic and fast paced gameplay into a suspensfull slower experience which is awesome.

I think you can get it on the internet archive as it stopped being sold on gog and steam this spring.

OpenRA - Do you remember the old classic series Command & Conquer ?

OpenRA takes the old original game, updates the controls to modern RTS controls, add new ai to play against, add support for modern resolutions and adds a good internet multiplayer system, all of this for free!

OpenRA can be downloaded att openra.net

tedmustard,

Me too!

Didn’t realize it could do more than 2! That’s wonderful!

M137, in Different kind of gaming.

I don’t understand heterosexual people and couples who don’t want kids yet don’t get/use contraceptives. It’s just pure stupidity.

Shit, I use condoms for men and women, lol. At least until I settled down with the one I know is the one.

Letstakealook,

I don’t get it either. I’m hetero, not interested in ever having children, and have zero oopsie babies at 35. Even after I got a vasectomy this year, I continue to use condoms, as I’m not in a committed relationship at the moment.

Uh...congratulations, I think?

OP saved up by not buying condoms.

Anticorp, in Different kind of gaming.

Guess you shouldn’t have skimped on condoms.
