  • I see. Thank you for the heads up! I will use my piefed account to access the bsides community.

  • So I need to create an account with fedia.io to see their modlog?

  • I get a login notice when I click that URL.

    I don't have an account on fedia.io.

  • Pretty bad miss on my part! :) Cheers!

  • Does active people equal to MAUs? Or does it use quarterly active users?

  • Can't speak for competition in consoles, but parts costs have radically increased, particularly GPUs (and it's getting much more difficult to have generational leaps in graphics quality).

  • You'll need to specify what genres and game styles you like.

  • If the game is formally released, it is reasonable to provide refunds (irrespective of purchase date) for cash shop items that don't exist or don't work.

  • My Time a Sandrock is very good.

  • There are also contractual issue to consider. Their investors have a "one-sided" put option in 2028 that might force them to "release" SC even if 80% of the marketed gameplay doesn't exist and large number of cash items are de facto non-functional.

  • Sure, but if SC is actually released, it is only fair to provide a no questions asked refund policy for JPEGs and non-functional cash shop items. Is it not?

    At any rate, this discussion is moot, because SC is not released as BlameTheAntifa claims. The overwhelming majority of marketed gameplay, content simply doesn't exist and a large part of the cash items are either broken or borderline non-functional.

  • Yes, the release date is N + 2 years. With N being the current year.

  • Good stuff!

  • Launch of !strategy_games@piefed.world went pretty well. Getting some engagement and there is a solid initial group of subscribers.

    Like with the relatively specialized gaming communities that I moderate/curate, I suspect the biggest issue will be that I will the main person posting.

  • So if it is released, would it be fair to allow "no question asked" refunds on all cash shop items that are in still in JPEG form or de facto don't work?

  • Not really sure, I would argue it may make sense to re-direct them to !strategy_games@piefed.world, it was mostly me posting or Elevator crossposting my posts.

    I would rather contribute to a piefed community unless a Lemmy community is already established (moves are annoying). For example, some members of !crpg@lemmy.world preferred to stay on LW, so I am not going to rock the boat since it's relatively active.

  • "It allows us to do things without imposing the framework of a typical video game studio," Chris Roberts said in an interview with La Presse from his home in Los Angeles. "The players who fund us expect the best game, period. We don't have to streamline, cut jobs, or change our business model."

    This is false. I am honestly surprised about the cavalier attitude with the truth.

    Star Citizen Devs Confirm Some Layoffs As Part Of A 'Restructuring,' Relocation Appears To Be A Factor (Feb 2024)

    Star Citizen Developer Hit With More Layoffs (Nov 2024)

  • Not the dev, just a tycoon/management games fan. An MMORPG management game sounds like a lot of fun.

    There is also MMORPG Tycoon 2 (that's in 3D), but development has a strange cadence.
