Yup. They won’t demand you crunch, but it’d sure look bad come review time if that next game doesn’t come out on time.

Notice he’s not saying they won’t crunch, he’s just saying they won’t explicitly demand it...they’ll just less obvious, psychologically shittier tactics to pressure people into it.

So, that’s super cool.....

The film over-corrected in reaction to the franchise’s worst fans and was a finale that had to retcon and undercut so many things about the saga to make itself work.

I think the double decker was the first taco I ever had.

Spending hours on this raid and getting some lame-ass drill sounds almost as bad as spending $60 and getting Fallout 76.

You’re really brushing off the level of snark in their announcement, and failing to mention how they addressed concerns about availability of their game in different countries with currencies not accepted by Epic’s storefront with a “you’re not entitled to our game” bitchy and not at all joking response (which sort of…

This is nonsense. There was huge outcry and rage over the Steam leaking of information and it was rightly reported on, that doesn’t suddenly mean that Epic’s faults shouldn’t also be reported on. 

Because this is an obvious use case that they should have anticipated. They put on a massive sale with large numbers of discounts, people coming in and gobbling a bunch of them up is a logical thing to account for.

I think the increasing sales with each expansion is representative of many gamers sitting on the bench waiting for NMS to live up to the promise. Everyone was in love with the promise, and they’re all waiting for it, no matter how many patches it takes.

I’d be okay with this if the Epic store wasn’t so half baked right now. I think Steam gets way more love than it deserves - the UI/UX is still shit in a lot of ways, never even shooting for “good”, just “good enough”.

It’s funny how Epic talks about being against Valve’s “anti-competitive” practices yet are quick to make all of these games exclusive to one storefront meaning there’s no competition. Can’t really have it both ways. The only people winning in all of this are the publishers cashing all of these checks from Epic.

Same, saw a kid doing one in church the other day.

Fortnite (or at the very least, its baffling and nonsensical popularity with pre-teens) seriously cannot die fast enough.

I haven’t dealt with IP law in years, but I think the issue is that Epic is selling these moves. If Epic had simply given them away for free, I’m not sure there would be a cause of action. But because Epic is profiting off of somebody else’s IP, that’s where the action lies. (Again, haven’t done IP law in years.) Also,…

This clown’s fate, entirely crafted by his own words and actions and the rightful consequences to them, might be the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.

The lengthening list of behaviors that you have to practice in order to avoid paying too much for a game that you may not want:

Twitter is garbage and people should stop using it.

The fact that it’s always online and there will be other players who can mess up my stuff is a big turn off for me. If it was Fallout 4 but bigger where you could have real players as coop companions I would me so hyped for this game... but nope it’s going to be a hard pass for me for many reasons. I don’t like…

Ironically enough, most games feature long range weapons that have an effective range well below that of a real world shotgun; when I go bird hunting or clay shooting, I’m firing at targets more than fifty or sixty feet away.
