I’ve done some consulting work with the military, your acronyms are crazy

Maybe they should fix the most basic problems first, like some first person weapons being cut off/incomplete or the general mess of a UI

That’s some weird gatekeeping

The thing about the pricing though—digital sales are definitely more profitable than physical, but the percentage of digital sales have already been increasing year after year. Was it really necessary to force the people that would have bought a physical copy to buy digital to avoid a $70 price?

That’s a fucking lie. Apple/Google rarely show problems, and the systems developed by the car manufacturer are 3+ years old by the time the car comes out.

They sold 200,000 or so copies, half which got a refund, surely there was enough profit to continue beyond 4 days. Since they called it quits so quickly that was probably always the plan. I don’t know if they’ll actually get all that much from the people who bought it and maybe didn’t ask for a refund from Steam, but…

They might not be able to vet every project, but maybe they should investigate the ones that have generated some very valid and public concerns, that wouldn’t be too hard.

I think it’s clear they planned to dump it and run with whatever they got. You don’t drop everything a few days after release if it was a lack of funds, you can’t launch a game if you’re that close to bankruptcy. It might not have started as a scam, but that’s what it became.

Very likely what the situation was is that they had investors for the development that they did, but had an overly ambitious idea and weren’t nearly capable of achieving. Then it got to the point they couldn’t continue otherwise, probably a long time of trying to convince the investors everything was OK among other…

Aren’t car commercial’s mostly if not entirely CGI these days? Would they take literally every advertisement that way?

Feels like we need a reminder of the difference between “Remaster” and “Remake” because those can’t be used interchangeably.

Who’s to blame for not making a plan for the trilogy then? That should have been the first thing they did before writing any scripts and they didn’t do that at all.

I guess diversifying your brand is great vs. pedophilia

Can’t see this succeeding. At the very least there are parental controls that they could have used to limit their kids gaming.

I wonder if his lawyers are pushing for the “inefectual representation” defense so that they can push things past the election so he can try to get around a conviction if he would win. I’m surprised any democrats are worried about him honestly because he should be in jail before the election happens but if he can…

I have to say, I think Remedy is one of the best studios in the business. Their games are always great. They are always shipping games that are well made and aren’t as buggy as other games. I appreciate that so much.

The thing that’s crazy, is that AI does a bad job. It is so fucking hard to get it to do anything remotely close to what you want; it’s so fucking dumb you can’t give feedback on what you actually want yet big corporations will decide to use it because “It’s good enough”

To be fair, you could attribute some of that cost of “fixes” as things that should have already been done for the original game, so it’s more like the original game had some post-release expenses rather than work they needed to do to save it.

I am really feeling an issue of quantity over quality in big game releases as time goes on. There’s a lot of big games that seem to never ask the question “Is this fun?”

There isn’t really any similarity to porting a game to a different platform vs. remaking it entirely. Just because they brought the original games to new platforms doesn’t mean they were capable of making a modern game based off it.
