It’s a good lesson. Now, when MS announces something similar, we will be able to make the assumption that they do not respect feature parity.

This is kind of worded like it’s a decision from Larian, but I have to assume it’s really Xbox seeing all the BG3 hype and deciding to change their policy so they can get BG3 out faster.

I would honestly rather Microsoft go back on their word instead of making everyone suffer equally so they can keep it.

In a way it did, because most studios stopped releasing their multiplatform games on Nintendo platform.

oh man, I can see the snowball effect coming. If one studio got the pass to have “different” version from Series X and Series S, I can see other studio asking the same now.

The more I think about this response the more it strikes me as silly. So do you think that no adult man should ever interact with potentially underage girls based on the fact that a statistically small number of them are pedophiles? Cuz that’s going to make finding teachers even harder than it is currently. Despite…

I’ll keep saying it, Taylor Swift fans are the dumbest and most useless people ever.

Yeah, “hilarious,” like the AV Club morphing from an incisive outlet for pop culture into a Taylor Swift fansite.

It was a bit unprofessional, but you’re trying to make it more than what it actually was...which is just as weird.

Hang on, I’m a TF2 player, so I lack some context... am I understanding this correctly?

Also, like. It’s not “review bombing” if the criticism is legitimate. They’re just normal reviews.

I don’t understand why i’m supposed to get worked up about “review bombing” for corporations that spend millions on reputation management to buy reviews

“This means more maps, heroes [locked behind a paywall], game modes, missions [locked behind a paywall], stories [locked behind a paywall], events, cool cosmetics [locked behind a paywall], and features.”

The detachable side controllers are not appealing. Joycons are the worst controllers every made. The compromises in layout and size to make those things detachable are simply not worth it.

The ergonomics on the right controller look terrible. They’ve got the lower offset analog stick, and then a touch pad below that, and the grip buttons on that side are also super weird.

This is why ONLY fans of things should be allowed to create new things based off those old things! Take the newest Star Wars Trilogy! J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson constantly talked about how huge of Star Wars fans they were, and how much they loved the originals, and how much it means in their life and how it’s always…

Wrong. Internet ads are the equivalent of text spam or robocalls to your cell phone. Use and abuse of bandwidth you paid for without your consent for someone else’s commercial puposes.

How is it not ethical or legal? If you walk through the supermarket with blinders that prevent you from seeing overhead ads, are you doing something unethical or illegal? If you go to the opera and wear ear plugs filtering out the high pitch sounds because you can’t stand them, are you doing something unethical or…

If you don’t have intrusive ads, I won’t ad-block you. But the moment your ads push your ad content into the path of my mouseclicks as I try to navigate/trigger my security with super cookies... etc... I turn it on and give you the middle finger. If you make it impossible to get from A to B without having ads, I won’t…
