Gabes gotten pretty lazy ever since they started making money off peoples games.

It doesn’t matter what other publishers/companies use for this clause to take effect, but rather what the average person calls it. If it can be proved that the average person refers to “Choose Your Own Adventure”, “Which Way Books”, etc all as “Choose your own adventure”, then there a chance that the phrase would…

I don’t see Steam doing this, not because they don’t want to, but because the console makers wouldn’t allow it.

Besides, Steam already makes games available for all PC platforms that a dev supports (sometimes more in the case of SteamPlay allowing Linux users to seamlessly run most Windows games on Linux).

Most trailers are cut in a way to make scenes seem more connected than they are (or sometimes just add/remove things that aren’t in the episodes/feature) to throw the viewer off and hide twists and surprises

Or, it could just be that he was being a smart-ass

As of right now, it is still recommended to use a Wii Remote with MotionPlus if the game expects it.

As I said it probably depends on faith, but with Christianity (despite what many in the faith itself seem to think), it’s pretty explicit about how we’re support to treat others. I could name a ton of scriptures, but I think the one that lays it out best it:

Is it not considered insulting to attend the church services for a religion you don’t believe in while visiting a location whose community you aren’t a part of? A church isn’t just a fancy building where you can see local architecture and meet people, it is a legitimately holy and spiritual place that means something…

This is definitely the way that some Devs abuse this system, but Early Access is meant as a hybrid Alpha (beta implies the game is in final testing stages) + funding mechanism. For player to help fund a game they are interested in while also helping to test it. 

This, this, this!

From my understanding the soundtrack issues are partially due to licensing. Unlike most game scores, the Dragon Quest composer’s studio/label owns the DQ music, NOT S/E. So they have to pay $$ to use it in their games and a separate license (If I understand correctly) for each region S/E releases the DQ game in.

Or it’s just that our justice system has a pretty strict guideline/rule in place (especially with juries) that a crime was committed “beyond a reasonable doubt.” and needs direct or strong circumstantial evidence to prove it. This is definitely something that could lead to a potential investigation, but the nature of…

The problem with that mindset is a complete anti-pattern to what most software devs are being taught nowadays. Which is that “failure”, “feedback”, and “iteration” essential to the growth and improvement of products and companies. Fear of failure leads to people not reporting or addressing issues for fear of…

Optimistically speaking, hopefully the cuts are an effort to consolidate non-game dev departments with corporate Activision, so Blizzard can focus more of its resources ondevelopment?

Attitudes like this definitely give off the impression that general gamers think that Devs, SysAdmins, and GameDevs have no right to play games because they should only be focused on making tech better.

You’re making a pretty significant claim for a fairly large group of people (numbers in the hundreds of millions). By your claim people that are primarily PC gamers but not “hardcore” gamers are left out. My wife and father both primarily play games through steam on PC, not console because they already have PCs and…

It is and it isn’t work. My work is reliant on open source, my career is reliant on my continued development. Many time this requires “Work” outside of the workplace to stay relevant and keep up on skills. This is pretty common in Tech, Science, Medical, Engineering, and GameDev fields due to how quickly standards,…

And if you’re worried about stability and security of your work machine, why do you even install anything but work stuff on it?

Launchers not only take up more background resources when running, but also have their own set of network bugs that could lead to security vulnerabilities. The less of those I have to worry about, the better. Not to mention having to open every launcher to check for any game updates, but also remembering to close them…

First and foremost, Valve does not have a monopoly. Having marketshare/mindshare is not the same as having a monopoly.
