I’m one who thinks Fortnite might have already peaked, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Many games last a long while after peaking, particularly multiplayer ones that don’t depend on storyline or PvE gimmicks.

Nice job digging out a three-year-old article. You have any more recent ones? No?

That’s because after that Epic actually greatly slowed down the rate of updates, extended season length, and allowed its devs more time to breathe. You know, they saw the problem and tried to fix it.

You didn’t get concerns, you got outrage, because NFTs are an enormous scam lying in plain sight, a pointless intrusion on existing systems designed only to enrich those hustling it and an environmental catastrophe, no matter what kind of hand-waving and PR laundering its advocates try

In Anne Rice’s own words, an editor will only choke your writing, getting rid of your voice. Every word Anne wrote in her books was perfect as it was, hence why she refused to be edited (and why her writing went downhill after The Vampire Lestat.)

In a way, there’s no more fitting obituary to Rice than an unedited one.…

... What?

FortniteBR has never had lootboxes, thus no gambling mechanics. Maybe try learning about the stuff you so heavily dislike before actually hating it so much.

It was one of the big players in the whole Loot-Boxes =? Gambling for kids stuff.

That said, I’m not a fan of microtransactions in gaming, and while I wouldn’t advocate for shutting down a game wholesale, I would advocate for significantly restricting game mechanics that exploits gambling addiction.

But these articles are written with a specific case in mind:

Not just keep it forever, but also pass it down over countless generations.

Scary Movie took so many of its plot points from Scream it’s quite surprising they didn’t get sued. It’s basically Scream, but with a worse script, worse actors, and worse everything.

For videogames, a properly-implemented game that used them could turn skins themselves into NFTs you could buy or sell to other players. Essentially, limited-run skins could be traded both for other in-game skins or items that exist as NFTs or even actual currency.

other gacha games would have given roughly 10-rolls for free, but genshin impact got about 1/4 of the roll

Valve rarely ever fixes anything without a court order tho.

Somebody needs to read up on punching up and punching down, and why the former is acceptable while the latter isn’t.

In Las Vegas you at least know the odds and can choose the game you think will give you the better ones.

Could be something like:

That fucker went from delaying our games to outright getting our game companies into legal trouble! We have to stop him!

To be fair, since Disney is publicly traded faking revenue numbers could end up really bad for them were the lie discovered. So I’d lean towards “Yes, Black Widow somehow made $70M on its first weekend.”

Difference being that you can always start your own store to sell your cereal in, which you can’t do in PS/Xbox.
