I don’t think that’s fair. They did that because of the gaming crash and to address the chief concerns of the industry then. A benefit to Nintendo to using “off the shelf” parts was cost, but it went deeper than that. It was also the first successful system to use “off the shelf” parts. So there’s still something to…

Nintendo has never been about being ahead of the curve, they were always about how to make last-gen tech (that is relatively cheap and easy to get) be something that is very profitable to them.

Yeah, I know. Didn’t quite get my sarcasm across as clearly as I would’ve hoped.

Frog Fractions 2 was hidden inside Glittermitten Grove, and in fact there was a whole multi-year ARG of players trying to find it in order to release it.

Take-Two: Because you didn’t get it right the first time.

To be fair, that carrying case is for the 64/256 GB variants.

That’ll never happen. Konami would want the rights to use them in pachinko machines, and I’d imagine indie devs aren’t going to sign that much rights away.

Not possible. They’re distributing it as a patch file, which requires a game ROM to be patched.

I mean... even Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever, and No Man’s Sky released... eventually.

Somehow, the powers-that-be keep thinking that more money will magically make up for the culture problems at the workplace.

It’s no longer high noon, it’s probably more like 4:47 AM.

From what I’ve seen, the manuals actually already include both sets of instructions for AMD/Intel CPUs as well as air/water cooling. So they already do this.

This is a great idea, but I would’ve preferred if they gave an option for water cooling or a regular old heatsink/fan combo.

Man, there’s this really scathing review of the game now by some guy named “Beetlejuice” on Steam.

We’ve tried. Repeatedly.

What I’m wondering is how long until some twentysomething Silicon Valley “big brain” invents the Muffino, a $750 machine whose sole job is “Stick English muffin in and watch as our space-age device carefully pries it apart while telling you the exact amount of gluten inside.”

Not possible for 50-state illegal as 14 states have put laws into place protecting abortion even if Roe were overturned.

Of course it will, because eventually diminishing player base/interest happens, along with corporate greed, and of course, anyone who does not care about the online is not someone that they can monetize. (I, for one, have never played a second of GTA Online.)

“If you’re pre-born, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”

And this is how you get your fanbase to hate you, but in the end it won’t matter, because of course as soon as GTA6 comes out, everyone will buy it.
