Amen.

Long as they can feel superior for being willing to put up with it, they'll defend anything.

PD: That has nothing to do with the discussion.

Okay, so you won't mind if we slow down your experience with ads, won't show you the button until the've been on screen for at least five seconds, and then take an additional ten seconds to bring up your game. What are you arguing about, it's still just 1 extra click, you baby.

Don’t bother, these guys can only envision a reality based on their own tolerances, and anything different is overblown or mocked. See my own post history with them on the subject of not wanting to curate both Steam and Epic libraries.

Sadly, I both wasn’t aware of this nor cared enough about mobile games to look up every single one. You know, like most people. Still, my error.

That would require me to have both heard of these games as well as cared about them. Nice to see you care more about your faux outrage than the loss of jobs, though.

That's simply what comes to mind. I was wrong, sure, but that's going to be the take of most people who haven't heard of them.

I feel for the people losing their jobs, but... well, the games they’re known for speak for themselves. Niantic clones in name if not function. Without Square Enix’s money backing it, Embracer probably looked at the trash fire that was the Harry Potter mobile GO clone and decided not to risk it, but in the shittiest…

Yeah but yes really, you’re kind of missing the point I was making entirely. If you’re spending over a thousand dollars for both, you are in a massive minority who can only do so because you have a fat wallet. Most people aren’t going to be able to justify that, especially once you factor in games, services, etc.

Except for the wallet, where it's a clear loser.

Xbox price increase was also announced, though.

Now if we could just get rid of the "PC gaming elite" who bitch and moan every time a PC port doesn't include ultrawide support (less than 2% user base) or perfect k/m controls for games designed around controllers.

Was about to say, seems very odd to justify a console war victory declaration by pointing to a non-console-specific platform (Gamepass isn’t specific to XBox so much as MS platforms in general). Looking specifically at consoles, only the 360 can be said to have won its generation.

Reading comprehension is hard.

The main problem with that argument is that it’s reductive in and of itself: just because a problem is legitimate, does it mean that all complaints about it must also be legitimate? The answer, of course, is no. The reason people get annoyed with complaints about PvP is that the majority of complaints are delivered in…

Which, funnily enough, wouldn’t be happening if PvP folks weren’t bitching so much in the first place. Almost as though it were the PvPers’ fault, fancy that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this sounds less like 4D and more like chunking mapped to an input rather than being automated. Still looks neat, though.

Unless they're being driven by out of touch visionaries who are delusional about the stink quotient of their feces.

It's still a bad take, because all of the above is why they changed their name to distance themselves. Deflective projects are not something you spend hundreds of billions of dollars on, you do it as low-effort and low-cost as possible to make it appeal to dividend chasers.
