Others made the point already, but just adding my own perspective. My salary is theoretically a pretty good one. For the country I come from (but don’t live in) my salary is outright upper class level. But because of where I live, my partner not having income at the moment, and other personal circumstances, more money…

I’m honestly wondering if she realizes how what she says sounds. Her newest statement was supposed to support her case, but very obviously makes her look worse. In the original video she somehow jumped from talking about how she was underpaid for Bayonetta, to the offer she was given for the cameo role. I wonder if…

No matter what, she should get royalties. Everyone working on a game in some way should get royalties. Also everyone should be paid more. Literally everyone. That’s my point.

always an ass, doesn’t change that he was an ass in the middle of an important topic that reached out further than his usual followers.

You have to consider it in the context of freelance work. Any one job has to pay enough to keep you going for a LONG time, since you don’t know when the next job will show up. Also all game devs should be earning a lot more anyway, so that shouldn’t be an argument for keeping any particular role from earning more.
I…

This is just so messy. She was definitely unclear, she made it sound like the 4000 were for all sessions as the main character (I double checked, assuming she had been misunderstood, but no, she definitely made it sound like that), and AFAIK didn’t mention the 10000 - 15000 value. This makes it clearer and actually…

“We fully support unionization (not that we can stop it at this point), so here’s a bunch of crap lacking context that hopefully stops all others of you from unionizing. Hope it works”

The moment I saw that Sims 2 launched without pets, I dropped the franchise. It was so clear I’d have to just rebuy all the expansions all over again for each new entry, just to get stuff like... pets.

I mean, same plagiarism rules apply. If you say something is your art when you used someone else’s art as a base without permission, that’s still plagiarism, no matter how high tech your plagiarism is. A high tech collage is still a collage.
It’s still a neat way to get references and get art for personal use (say, for…

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The game has new content all the time, including combat trials. Some are even timed and scored. Every few updates there’s even new bosses. There is no “endgame”.

At best what it’s missing is some longer well crafted co-op dungeons, instead of the usual single room fighting trials.

“how often they “toggle” between screens on their computer”

Of those I had played Gylt. Liked it quite a lot and do hope it’ll get some proper life on a different platform.

I’m glad Disney seems to have figured out how to use Star Wars as a setting, not a genre. I’m liking Andor and looking forward to seeing more. But now that we know Star Wars can do serious thrillery things, I’d like them to try something very different next. Maybe a horror? Or a sitcom? Or a romance! Maybe lets try a…

That’s my view. Sure, maybe he didn’t know, but then he sucks at his job. Maybe he did know, but then he sucks at his job. He shouldn't be doing it. Not wanting to learn/denying the real issue just shows there's no way for it to get better

Things are on the right track, says survey where the people affected by the toxicity are just a small fraction or left.

Don’t think it’s necessarily a growing up with social media thing.
There’s always going to be people who only see others as shallow and unthinking. Be it “sheeple”, “normies”, or “npc”. Always that feeling like they’re so special (yet insecure), but really being immature and oblivious to the depths of those around them.…

From the little I’ve seen it actually looks really good for the part of development it’s in!

I still wish the modern day story had culminated in a full modern day game. Like, watchdogs but AC flavored and finishing the story from the previous AC games

I really isn’t that hard dude... Don’t let people plan attacks on people on your platform. That’s all it takes to keep running. Even if it was just a subset of users ruining everything for everyone else? Well, it was your responsibility to stop them.

I think Genshin has always been pretty good at this, which is probably one of the main reasons I stick with the game. Even without large quests focusing on them, you end up getting to know so many NPCs, their lives and struggles, just by little moments as you're going about your quests and commissions. At this point I…
