  • [Second Wind] Escape from Tarkov's DLC Bait and Switch | Cold Take

    Jump

  • I agree, it's all stemming from the "need" for everything to be a games as a service model now. What was previously expected only in free-to-play games has bled into the "one time purchase" market and is unfortunately becoming the norm for both things that require online and those that probably don't.

    I kind of get that for ongoing development there needs to be some ongoing income, but there are many ways to do that without shady backend stuff. Pinball FX is a particularly weird one, as they are constantly releasing new tables as a way to make income. I guess the always online thing is license checking? Not cool in any case.

    Tarkov is kind of a different beast. It's basically an early access title that has been in EA for 7 years and there's no clear road roadmap on where it is going to end. The current discussion is all about how certain versions should contain all DLC and what constitutes a DLC. Personally, I find the whole DLC argument odd. I would argue any of these features and game modes added before leaving "Closed Beta" are just base game features. They should be available to even the lowest tier of purchase as they are being added to the game before "release".

    But then Battlestate have been shady from the start.

  • They're pushing the limits of this simulation to see how much bullshit we can tolerate. Turns out it's a LOT.

  • Forcing workers back to the office could be terrible for the environment

    Jump

  • But my company says it cares for the environment and does environmental things like improving algorithms for patches to reduce computing power needed and therefore save the energy worldwide (an actual example of a recent win by our environment consciousness team right after forcing thousands of people to RTO)

  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

    Jump

  • It is true, every time I have opened YouTube, I have died.

    I now realise this video's existence is my one true blessing and will scoot post haste to the Patreon listed and hand over all of my worldly possessions as penance.

  • I had to reread the name of the sub and link repeatedly there. This one is just... how is it real?

  • Helldivers: Internal discussions are ongoing about the mandatory linking change. The response from our dev team has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options.

    Jump

  • Oh for sure, I agree entirely.

    I didn't say it is a problem with the games industry itself (actually there are probably more people in game dev invested in a game being good than say, those working in app development), but was just pointing out how it often manifests in the industry and makes it such a common occurrence.

  • V Rising - Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • I didn't know about their previous games and feel like I missed out as Battlerite looks interesting. Very poor decisions there though and seems like they killed their own game by chasing the BR trend.

    Hopefully they have learned something from that and I see that V-Rising is now playable offline when it wasn't initially, which gives me some hope.

  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

    Jump

  • I'll take this one: Wolfenstein Clone.

  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

    Jump

  • The answer is still FPS.

    I understand it might be an interesting video on Doom being the trailblazer of its genre, but you give me a simple dumb question as the title of your video and I'll give it a snarky dumb answer every time.

  • [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

    Jump

  • I had to look up Bettridge's law, which was more effort than I took with the original post. Excellent work! I have to agree now and change my answer.

  • Helldivers: Internal discussions are ongoing about the mandatory linking change. The response from our dev team has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options.

    Jump

  • Is this about that community manager who dared to have an opinion about more women's representation in games (on her personal Twitter)?

  • Helldivers: Internal discussions are ongoing about the mandatory linking change. The response from our dev team has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options.

    Jump

  • The problem with this in the games industry is that usually those decisionmakers are the ones with the power, but aren't (or are barely into) games themselves.

    The ones warning of backlash are often QA, and often don't get listened to. Then when the backlash inevitably happens it's all "we are sorry, we couldn't have known, all the feedback was positive".

  • Because of smartphones, pocket TVs were never a thing.

    Jump

  • As most of the other comments point out, pocket TV did exist and you have exposed yourself as:

    1. Younger than the smartphone
    2. Never watched a 90's movie with a security guard in it

  • Ron DeSantis bans 'global elite' lab-grown meat

    Jump

  • Personally, I imagine the global elite to be Cypher, enjoying a succulent steak while selling out the rest of humanity to robots.

  • Freedom of speech. Except the speech we don't like.

  • Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID

    Jump

  • Agreed, and probably the main aim of the change. It forces people to have a photo ID when they wouldn't necessarily otherwise.

    I don't know if this is the case in other countries, but in the UK if you don't drive and don't require a passport then you wouldn't naturally have a photo ID. Forcing people to choose between "volunteering" all their personal data and being allowed to vote is not an action of a benevolent democratic government.
