“I believe this makes most developers afraid that if they don’t sell on Steam, they will lose the majority of their revenue. To those developers, avoiding Steam would add unacceptable risk to the already high risk of game development in general. I believe that most developers have little or no choice but to sell…

This is a very vague suit that has very little merit. It also completely ignores Epic having exclusive deals where only they can sell a game on their platform. If there’s evidence of anything forcing a developer to put their game on Steam, that is credible, but if this is some weird stunt to push people off of Steam…

Imagine punishing a company for building their brand to a huge success. 

Yeah, that's just all kinds of "I am an asshole and I don't care who knows it."

“No worries, the community will be in charge of finishing what you wrongly did not”

The genre wasn’t as tired and its cliches weren’t as overused, yet.

Chet appears to believe Gabe’s feedback was quite valuable, but go off I guess

It seems like Gabe’s objection was more philosophical/conceptual, but from a saturation point he’s also not wrong. That era was rotten with zombies in movies and games. It was a really tiring fad. In my mind, the only reason l4d really shined was because of just how ridiculously well executed it was as a co-op horde…

You get a star just for referencing The Three Doctors.

NFTs are QAnon if it were stock, if believing in a flat Earth could be bought and sold. They depend on the belief in their own existence to exist, requiring faith and religious notions of “worthiness” in order to flourish.

That’s because there isn’t anything they can be used for that isn’t already being done with simpler technology.  

This article doesn’t discuss the stupidest part of all this:

The Digital Deluxe Edition is five dollars more than the regular version.

Not quite sure where all the “same old re-release” negativity is coming from. These are definitely fully-featured remasters built using the same engine as Sonic Mania and the Sonic CD remaster.

I have a copy of the Baycon ‘86 anime convention program, which was written by future Studio Proteus founder Toren Smith; sadly, I wasn’t able to go cross-country myself, but I bought the program from a woman whose son went back then.

Nope, pass on NFTs and crypto in gaming.  Its monetized enough.  Need to go back to the days we pay for a game once and thats it, no DLC, patches, cash shops, mtx...etc.

I think someone at Sega corporate is dreaming there and casting some pretty outlandish ideas.

I mean, the majority of Animes don’t get more than one or two seasons.

“What if we made spin-off shows that lack anything that people liked about the movies?”

I never heard of this douchenozzle until the news about the suicide video surfaced. Screw this guy.
