Beyond the “because we can,” I felt it worked because the whole comment comes out of the left field in what’s actually both speaking out of turn for a military (or semi-military in this case) vessel and wildly unprofessional... yet entirely natural for Tilly. I was expecting Stamets to shut her up, telling her to…

And the HotS one is the outlier in being shitty to their playerbase, at least when it comes to lootbox design.

HotS has way more items than Overwatch and hearthstone, boxes take way longer to attain past level 12 (a single level can take up to four hours of gameplay, although you level up heroes individually, but…

HotS was bad enough for me without loot boxes, but fortunately I have made a considerable effort to stop wasteful spending in games like this.

It’s not even freemium, considering you DO have to buy the game for $60.

You better hope Overwatch doesn’t become a major thing that lasts decades, else he won’t get used to them either.

I rarely ever use her shields. However, I tend to pick her on defense maps where a few well-placed turrets + rushing to the control point and decimating the enemy team along with a teleporter can win a match. If they capture the first point, then I’ll be waiting on the second one with my turrets and a shield…

I’ve been called a fucking bitch for decimating the enemy team with Symmetra haha. I love it when it happens tho.

Digital distribution also carries its own costs, in particular the cut taken by the first-party platform holder. And most AAA games are still distributed in large part via physical media.

when product costs go up, so should the retail prices

Yeah, that was the gist of it. I don’t think it was the original Carl Barks story, but what do I know. I was but a kid and I no longer own any of my old Duck comics so I couldn’t go check. She was indeed gathering coins from rich people for an amulet, tho, I recall that.

Also she wanted to melt all those coins in the…

Last I checked your average AAA game went from $50 to $60 a decade ago. So no.

Also, video games these days sell millions of copies. Back in the 90s they didn’t. If your market grows, your revenue grows, particularly if your goods are digital and therefore the cost of producing extra copies is basically zero.

They’ll have to explain that motivation a bit more, I think.

I’m not sure the old series ever explained Magica’s story with Scrooge, but a comic book I had as a child did. It told, on flashback, how Magica had once gone to meet Scrooge at his bin and asked for a dime - any dime - he had touched for an amulet that would…

There’s this system with excellent backwards compatibility where you can run games you bought back in the 90's if you want without needing to rebuy them and where most issues running old games can be solved with just a bit of tinkering.

We call it a PC.

And this is the main reason I remain a PC gamer, having to let go…

I came to the comments just to say “Where the fuck is gattaca.”

Good to know somebody had already asked the same and been starred over a hundred times.

Also, Matrix has aged terribly. I watched it a couple of years ago and, well... Let’s just say humanity getting stuck in the late 90s isn’t as interesting once the late…

Yeah, it seems devs have finally re-discovered the PC gaming market again, so a lot of console “exclusives” are making the jump to PC a few months after the initial launch.

You say this like it’s some kind of injustice against sex offenders to have them on a register and keep them away from the vulnerable even after time served.

The sad part is actually believes her BS and she’s really permanently changing unlike Rachel dolezal who can take a shower and be white whenever she needs whiteness.

Oh dear, I had never watched this.

She looks so out of it for most of the video I can’t help but think there were very strict contractual obligations involved in making the video.

I mean, it was either that or pure desperation to get another number 1. No way she was doing this for the fun of it.

It unlocks after completion indeed.

Even assuming the full version to be 90GB, with 30GB of those being hi-res textures, you’re down to 60. What was the Switch cartridge’s space limit on release again? 35GB? 50GB? It would still be impossible to fit everything there :(
