Odd to bring up Gaga here, tho. I mean, the woman did way more than just “doing a single” with R. Kelly. The single was called “Do what you want (with my body)” and a video was shot that depicted her being sexually attacked by Kelly. On top of that, said video was directed by Terry Richardson, of all people, who also…

“We only have the opened one, hope you don’t mind. Oh, and if you don’t mind and want to save, we have this here used copy for $10 less and it’s pretty much the same as the opened copy except for the developers not getting a dime from its sale.”

It’s not really likely somebody who has never been a gamer would get hooked on a 15 year old MMO, of all things. Perhaps current day WoW I could understand, but vannila WoW? Yikes.

Edit: Cant forget the peggle mod! Not sure if that is still a thing.

That’s because it’s great trolling and an amazing joke. Shame you can only detect the bad ones.

Question is whether it’ll pay off in the long term, tho.

I think the outrage over the Ogay thing is over the top, since it’s just a stupid, middle-schooler joke that might as well fit in perfectly with the type of game this one emulates.

You’re a gremlin of a person.

It has also been shown time and again that the vocal minority boycotting these games over silly stuff the devs choose to do or not will buy the games anyway. So be honest, you would have bought the game regardless.

Is that because you bought it or because you won’t buy it anymore? :P 

I watched it religiously as a teenager, watched the whole ceremonies from 1999 to 2004 including reruns. The 2004 ceremony sucked, tho, all I recall from it is people in yatches and weird shit and this was when MTV was showing less and less music so I stopped caring.

Also, the format just changed, became much smaller…

I went through the same. I think part of the problem, so to speak, is that not only has MTV as a brand grown irrelevant over the last decade, but that much of the thunder the VMAs used to have has been stolen by the Grammy, of all ceremonies.

Hulu only services the US, tho. Netflix is worldwide.

Not better than Diane Warren’s. Or Linda Perry’s. Or Tori Amos’s. Or Dido’s. And that’s just off the top of my head.

I’m wondering why this guy has been dead for a decade and it’s just now that his will is reported as missing, by a third party who had no stake nor claim over it to boot.

oh but the theory you proposed is that there are so many Fortnite users that stuff on EGS will sell well. Hmm

Ms Store has “Far fewer?” MS Store is on every installation of Windows 10, and has launched support for regular Windows binaries instead of unified windows format, but also has GamePass PC. Not to mention cross over from Xbox One userbase.

Explain all the 3rd party games on MS Store (majority 3rd party games), itch.io (pretty sure only 3rd party games), Origin (tons of 3rd party games, including Ubisoft’s) , etc

My point still stands - you don’t have numbers. You don’t know how many users are really Steam only, how many hate Epic, and how many would only buy from GOG and other stores (though that’s moot, since all the stores you mention other than GOG don’t really take third-party devs anyway.)

All you know is that a vocal…

The discovery queue is full of trash. Sometimes it will output something good, most of the time... it won’t.

As for those developers selling lots... that’s my point. Indie games that have sold loads still have their devs go bankrupt. Indie games that haven’t lacked discoverability or praise from both gamers and gaming…
