These extra factors will play into your decision about which apps you’re going to use but we’ll save those discussions for another day.

I think that difference (loot boxes being digital) is key in understanding the issue. When someone buys baseball cards for instance, or Hatchimals, or Kinder Surprise, even if randomness is an element to consider, they’re getting something tangible that belongs to them. They can collect those things. These things have…

I generally tend to think of Apple as “high-end” products, the ones you pay a premium for. They’re perfectly competent and performing products, I’ll say that, and sure run smooth and fast.

Yep. Same logic here. The thing is, people should compare apples to apples (no pun intended! lol!) Of course if you compare cheap and/or outdated devices with premium ones, the premium one will more often outshine the other by a mile, whatever OS they run.

What I find funny about this, is your post reminding me somewhat of a comment I hear all too often (mostly from Apple evangelists) saying they tried Android and they found it horrible. And when I ask them on what they tried it on, they often say they bought that cheap sub-$100 tablet to test Android as they didn’t…

I think something that was lost in most of the latest LEGO games is FOCUS. I literally LOVED the early LEGO SW games, The complete Trilogy is still a favorite of mine. The Cantina serving as a central hub was small, but kept things focused on the gameplay. Each levels were also pretty straightforward, which made for…

I don’t know about the Witcher 3, but Doom 2016 and Skyrim can be played on the GPD Win 1 (I know, I had one), which was more or less in a similar price range to the Switch. Granted, details at minimum and often at a resolution of 540p, and sometimes with some config tweaks, but they were playable (~30fps). Hell, I…

In this era of all-digital, the preservation of ANYTHING will become a challenge. For everyone. The advent of streaming services will eventually get rid of consumer copies althogheter, and consumers will have to rely on corporate entities to preserve their own content. Which is FAR from being guaranteed. Most big…

Aside from who’s having to gain from a lie, Riot’s responve is typical business/marketing drivel BS that’s usually spat out when confronted with a hot issue in the eyes of the public. While I was reading it, I was litterally able to hear all the PR meetings and discussions that went into its redaction, obviously made…

The cartoon look seems generic as hell to me though. I don’t know, there’s something about many modern cartoons that make them look, to me, like they were drawn this way to make production easier. New Scooby Doo cartoons look horrible IMO. Same with Duck Tales. Same with some of those Looney Tunes ones I saw too. It…

You know, I was kind of stunned when I learned that the PS4 can’t play audio CDs. Not that it’s a feature I’d be using a lot, but I found this weird. Also, it took Sony an awful long time (like, close to 2 years after launch) to actually make available a media player for their console, and even with all that time, it…

Well, sure, exclusives do matter to many people. But I may be in the minority here saying that these doesn’t matter as much to me as they used to. Since some years already, I’ve been adopting more of the “so what” attitude towards not playing some “big” games. I play games mostly to escape reality and enjoy a virtual…

The thing about tailgating is, it’s rude and dangerous but it’s actually not real dangerous for the driver in the front vehicle

Customers seem to have accepted that, soooo Google thinks hmmm....

I’m not questionning the fact that the games purchased won’t be available if you stop paying for the pro plan. I’m questionning the fact that people assume these games will be available forever and ever. You can’t assume that.

How do you know they won’t be yanking any game? Let’s say a game use licenced music, and the…

Yes, QoS, no one’s talking about that.

While I think a subscription model with included games is defendable, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that people will buy access to “premium” game streaming.

So... you can pay for a game stored on disc or on an HDD (which mean you can play it forever as long as you keep the files or the disc), or you can buy, for…

Only remotely related to this.... but god I miss the arcade days...

It IS terrifying. Not only from an “always online” perspective, but also from the fact that Google being a company living on selling your data, one has to question what are they getting from such a tech. I mean, Google’s already tracking whatever they can about us through our phones and tablets and Chrome, and smart…
