He seemed to casually ignore that at the end of the tunnel was still the concept of an offramp with a 25mph street that everyone was funneling to.

Of course he never planned on building it anyway. It was all just to distract from California High Speed Rail, because that directly gets in his way of selling more cars.

Come on folks, dump game pass!

Unfortunately it’s mostly parents just paying for their kids so they don’t have to think about it

I always think about total of games purchased / 12 for a per month. If I buy 1 AAA game every 3 months, that’s 4 $60 games, about $20 a month. I’d say Game Pass is going above that. Argument could be made that there are games you wouldn’t otherwise buy… but eh?

“Hogwarts Legacy did spectacularly… so obviously we should u-turn and do the exact opposite”.

How do these people get into these positions? Fuck I bet I could lead their games division better than them.

Step 1? Fucking more DLC for Hogwarts Legacy, that game should be printing money for them.

Step 2? New Lord of the Rings MMO. Jesus how is this not being done, ESO is ageing, people would just give money to something like this.

There, two ideas that would literally make millions. Can I have a yacht now please?

Half of those meetings are business MBAs asking “Why isn’t more getting done on this project?”

This really sucks, but we do know it’s a cat and mouse game. AI/coded, doesn’t matter, it’s pattern recognition. It’s only a matter of time until someone figured out how to change the pattern in a way that isn’t detected.

I thought, yes we can. I said, look, just give us four years, proper finance, give us the chance Mass Effect has, Skyrim has, the games at the time. They’re getting four years and a lot of budget. Give us that, and we’ll give you something that’ll get you your players. Nah, you’ve had three shots and you’ve only tripled the money. It’s not good enough. Fuck off. That’s what I was annoyed about.

Fuck man, that’s like, summing up my entire corporate career right there. I want to buy this man a beer, I feel this so hard.

Microsoft says it needs games like Hi-Fi Rush the day after killing its studio (www.theverge.com)

Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....

Let it be known, of your company is being bought by big tech, start polishing that resume. You officially have max one year of employment, that’s how long it takes for the SEC to back down and not pay much attention. As soon as they’re in the clear, you’re out.

Noooope

Everyone knew last year these acquisitions weren’t about making huge amounts of games, it was to kill off competition and monopolize game pass.

I trust that about as much as Ubi’s CEO telling us about the first “AAAA Game”

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

When Google fired all of those staffers last year there was a report that there was a huge bump in startups being formed. That’s where actual innovation happens, not at large companies but the small startups. I see that happening now too. They’ll eventually get bought up, but the cycle will repeat.

Best Graphic card for Linux Gaming (lemmy.wtf)

Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even...

Second for AMD. Team Red is bringing it right now anyway, the only card that doesn’t have an AMD equivalent is the 4090, anything else you can get an AMD equivalent for basically half the price. I run the 7900XTX and I can’t find anything that stalls this card.

Caveats, if you want to do AI/ML stuff, NVidia is the way to go. Ray tracing is also about a generation behind, but it’s not really noticeable to me. Instead of 4000 series ray tracing you get 3000 series ray tracing (roughly). Even with those caveats, it’s the best card I’ve ever owned.

No no, xbox buying these companies is going to be good for gaming! It’s going to increase game production because it’s so efficient!

Every capitalist wank last year talking about how all the mergers were wonderful.

Good level headed reply, I like this. Others have suggested that as well, I’ll move the crud over to her own library, then it doesn’t pollute my main library and I can hide it from the others.

This is a good idea, and an approach I’m going to think about and probably take. Then it’s away from everything else, and not polluting my actual good movies.

Honestly I’d be fine if it were hallmark movies. This is pure christian propaganda - very clear jabs that if you aren’t christian then you are not happy. Take the lame hallmark plots that are fine, but then add in that they finding jesus suddenly made them happy, they gave up all of their non christian friends, and renounced their old life type stuff. Face value it’s fine, but the undertone is just vile to me.

Yeah their head editors just left saying that they were being forced to write lower quality stories and things with agendas. I wouldn’t trust Kotaku much anymore.

Just as a heads up, when you post an article, unless otherwise stated, you are telling people that the source can be trusted. So, yes in a way you are asking us to trust them
