Roblox: inflated key metrics for wall street and a pedophile hellscape for kids.
  • I've always thought it made money considering how abysmal their creator pay is, together with a skin NFT-like market.

  • Anon is a conspiracy theorist.
  • I'm shocked, did all of this happen while Brazil was banned? Goddamn I wish the japanese artists I follow left already.

  • The seven sins
  • They keep releasing collections and new games are all outsourced.

  • The seven sins
  • No, valve still makes games, Konami outsources it.

  • "But I prefer The Creature if it's all the same to you."
  • Looks like dark romance isn't a new phenomenon at all lol.

  • Open Source Everything has moved to GitLab
  • I remember some panic after Audacity was sold, so it's good again?

  • presses button rulepeatedly
  • How is this even a question? There's no downside.

  • Skyrim Lead Designer admits Bethesda shifting to Unreal would lose 'tech debt', but that 'is not the point'
  • We have yet to see the modding capabilities of Obsidian games, but Outer Worlds had nothing.

    It is a great game don't get me wrong, but Bethesda's writing has been subpar since Oblivion, so losing mods would be horrible for them.

  • Skyrim Lead Designer admits Bethesda shifting to Unreal would lose 'tech debt', but that 'is not the point'
  • You just reminded me of the plague that was UE3 for MMOs in the 10s, they couldn't have many players on screen, and so much texture streaming it's unreal (heh).

  • Skyrim Lead Designer admits Bethesda shifting to Unreal would lose 'tech debt', but that 'is not the point'
  • Not another one, unreal is so bad for mods, please just overhaul your own engine, take the time, another year for Fallout 5 is nothing.

  • Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase
  • Maybe the average lemmit, not the average gamer.

  • Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase
  • Which gog games have DRM? The costumers over there even protested Hitman's inclusion in the store precisely because without internet you can't unlock anything in the game, GOG even removed it from sale.

  • Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase
  • The amount of comments on social media that I saw of people surprised by this means this really wasn't something the average person knew about, it's natural to think if you paid for digital content it should've the same rights of physical. Though reselling will get messy.

  • My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them
  • It's refreshing seeing your list since people often blame gachas nowadays, but MMOs were the issue originally, it's just that other genres took a lesson from MMOs so now we have way more grinding options and it gets tiresome.

  • The water has waves!
  • VR is great, but it's just so hard to convince people with a trailer, it really is something that you have to experience, I'm glad there was a VR arcade here for me to try it out.

  • No ads here!
  • So open themselves up for more antitrust lawsuits? Telling another browser what to do.

  • No ads here!
  • There are twitch adblockers, it's just ublock origin that doesn't work on it anymore, people did find a way.

  • Unrelated, but we ran out of time and the campaign is only 7hrs
  • Oh the new one, my friend had to install razer chroma to finish a dungeon because apparently the game has some connection with it to change the color of the keyboard during that dungeon. Something about it making a lot of calls to that software if it couldn't find it, ends up bringing the fps way down lol.

  • Unrelated, but we ran out of time and the campaign is only 7hrs
  • You joke but this is exactly what people did to play Final Fantasy Origin on release, a mod that made everyone bald because the hair was the reason the game ran so bad lol.

  • Ok, but we are only here because of their stuff, it's only fair that they pick up the broom and help clean.

    Free VPN recommendations?

    Hello, now that the free tier of Proton doesn't let you select a country anymore, I can't access my japanese exclusive browser games so I'm searching for a new free VPN just to login.

    I know all that you are the product if it's free bla bla bla, I just want free one that let's me connect from Japan, that acts more like a trial since I don't use a VPN enough to pay monthly for it.

    Unicorn Overlord Devs Denied PC Port

    >Yamamoto: As a publisher, we would like to deliver it to PC users as well, but per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing on console. In other words, there are no plans to port it to PC currently.

    Did a PC gamer piss on Itsuno's mom or something? Even smaller companies like Falcom, Compile Heart and Tamsoft released their games on steam, but Vanillaware continues to refuse to do so. This is so puzzling when you combine it with the other news that they ran out of money as they were developing it.

    Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming

    The studio believes it can rehabilitate the struggling title but has warned there's no "simple" fix.

    Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming

    >Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a 'mixed' rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been 'mostly negative.'

    Maybe release a game when it's ready, so many of these online games are releasing broken and getting their roadmap pushed back because they have to fix it asap.

    The Quest To Preserve Japanese Feature Phone Games

    "I looked at all these game preservationist organisations and nobody was saying anything"

    The Quest To Preserve Japanese Feature Phone Games

    >"I was like, ‘How can this be happening?’" he tells us. "And ‘How come no one is talking about this?’ I was looking at all these game preservationist organisations and nobody was saying anything and the date was just getting closer and closer. So I got worried and pretty much totally out of nowhere I decided to write an open letter to a few different organisations in October, telling them, ‘Hey, you guys have got to start raising awareness of this because thousands of games are going to get lost to time.’"

    >As a direct result of Cosmo's open letter, the Game Preservation Society in Japan was able to successfully download 876 DoCoMo games before the shutdown occurred on November 30th, but these games now sit on aging hardware with the process of removing them from a device being far from simple.

    Crazy that history was almost completely lost because there's no money for these companies in preserving the games they themselves made.

    Frogwares is now publisher of The Sinking City

    >The news comes years after the eldritch horror maker's dispute with publisher Nacon began. In 2020, the studio pulled The Sinking City from all stores, accusing Nacon of missing payments, holding back €1 million in royalties, and claiming IP rights to the game -- something the studio insisted had always belonged to it.

    I can finally buy it now, since the only place you could get it before where the money went to Frogwares, was on epic.

    The Ancient Magus' Bride Manga's Return Gets Simultaneous English Release Using AI Translation

    As much as people would love to think that localizers are getting what they deserve, this isn't the bad ones being removed, it's just cost saving.

    I for one won't pay for AI translation of anything since I can do that on my own if I wanted to read a machine translation.

    Just thought I would share since there's at least 2 reincarnations that I know of in here.

    Saya being Kana Kamui and Muyu being Purin, both ex-tsunderia that went indie after the company went under.
