And that’s 5% on the revenue, not a flat rate per install, which is waaaaay worse. It weaponizes unscrupulous users and incentivizes studios to charge as much as possible. I’m kinda blown away how anyone thought this was a good idea, given that UE5's userbase, features, and ease of use just keeps growing. Sounds more…

So do a reverse Dota2/LoL. Instead of creating interesting unique characters, and then shoehorning a world and coherent narrative around them, ditch the world and narrative because you’ve made it too difficult (or costly) to pay people to properly integrate new characters in this existing world.

You do realize they live in BC, Canada. Canada, first of all, has a less-than 5% black population with most of that population living in Ontario, specifically Toronto.

While things like gameplay, graphics, sound design, VO, and AI are very difficult to get right, the tools available these days makes the process of each much much more accessible than 20 years ago. Gameplay can be quickly iterated upon with rapid prototyping, you now have free industry-level tools with highly…

Every day that I sink more hours into this game, I get pleasantly surprised and sometimes blown away by the interactions within the world. The amount of freedom you have to experience the world in different ways is mind-boggling, and I’ve played Divinity 1-2. This is miles better in every way.

Proven the death of god eh? Someone seems to be misinterpreting Nietzsche again. Media has really warped the idea of religion in this country over the last few decades. While I’m not prescribed to any particular religion, there’s a lot to be said about spirituality and believing in something greater than yourself. I…

Well, kids don’t learn shit in school, might as well try to educate them where they spend most of their time.

Adapting means PRESERVING as much of the original work’s tone, atmosphere, impact, settings, characters, themes, etc., while making it work on film.

I feel like all the writers and producers involved with the show have had some scummy agenda from the start that just lead to the demise of its potential. Lauren even admitted to using The Witcher to inject her own social agenda (from an article at Bounding Into Comics). It’s cool you want to affect the world and all,…

I had no idea we were on the 5th release... last I played was 1 and 2 and I remember seeing 3 came out, but damn does time fly. Great series of games though for sure

With over a decade of horrible WoW patches/xpacs, killing the RTS genre as a whole, never listening to Overwatch players, botching WC3 Reforged, and numerous instances of not listening to player feedback.... this is the first time they acknowledge a mistake, and even then they didn’t apologize, they basically said “we…

Ah so this is how they created the Rings of Power.

Why is it that this game needs to waste 30+ minutes of your 2 hour trial period in order to be playable, while every other big title I’ve played had no issues playing from the start (obviously not including truly garbage games that suffer from much more than something shader pre-caching can fix).

This article needs to be updated with the recent retractions of the two “ladies” who falsely accused Chris Avellone of sexual harassment.

Is it possible to disable all notifications if I’m watching a movie? Because that has been super annoying while I’m trying to lose myself in a good movie

After playing the demo, I actually had no issue with this. Not sure exactly why, but it didn’t break immersion for me at all, didn’t think twice. Not only that, but it helps to immediately notice a breakable box when you barge through a door, out of ammo and desperately trying to evade a chainsaw-wielding maniac…

You really don’t understand how machine learning works and can’t seem to understand what its applications will be in the coming decade. Just like any technology in the past, the vast majority of the work it will render obsolete will be creatively-starved, mundane labor. If anything, this will allow creativity to shine…

This has always been the majority of articles on this site. I rarely find anything that doesn’t at least passive-aggressively stab at whatever subject matter the article is covering, and articles like this can just fuel the fire of people who don’t understand what AI tech is and what it isn’t.

So you decide to listen to her the one time it seems to suit your agenda. You can separate the art from the artist if you can see for yourself that they’re not one and the same. Not to mention that she had barely any (if any) involvement in this game, and thousands of developers who don’t share her views helped create…

No. What’s keeping her relevant is everyone constantly talking about her tweets (even though most people are just bandwagoning without ever having read them, just people other people said so) and basically shining and nice big spotlight on her. She’s gained more popularity in the last few months than she has in YEARS.…
