“Money for People”

I will soon have an IPO for my new coin TheHumanFund. Any gains will go to help humans.

Personally, Games are escapism relaxation from the day to day life.

The Final Fantasy ports have triple speed and an invincibility button. I had 100 spare hours to play a game like that when I had a summer vacation. I don’t get those anymore. So having that option is probably the only chance I have of playing these games again.

I know everyone says this about Soulborne games but let me tell you: as someone who absolutely ADORES Lovecraftian visuals, creeping dread, and general oppressiveness but also someone who banged his head against Father Gascoigne for a fucking week straight, I would absolutely embrace a slider that let me throttle down…

Look. Some of us are old now. Those 12+ hour marathons are 20 years in the past. I try that now and all I’m going to accomplish is a blood clot. And folks can snicker, but their day will come. Eventually you won’t give a shit about learning the timing of phase 3 of whatever boss fight you’re stuck at.  You’re going to…

Who is buying PS5s very much matters to Sony - they don’t make money from PS5s, they make money from the games/accessories/subscriptions that real buyers get along with their PS5. A reseller scalping PS5s isn’t going to buy those things for each console they get, they’re going to sell the consoles at a ridiculous…

It’s certainly annoying not to be able to get your new toy as soon as you want it but I can’t muster up the rage to be angry. If it was insulin, housing, food, anything people actually need I would be angry.

Finally, it’s just so...bleak as a principle. It’s a market conjured entirely out of thin air, the most miserable, late-stage capitalism industry imaginable. Reselling exists to serve no purpose other than to enrich those able to crowbar their way between a product and its intended market.

Totally 100% coarsely pixellated graphics mated with super clean super thin vectorized font... What kind of drugs are they smoking over there at Squeenix? The visual clash is absolutely horrendous, plus all that empty unused space in those text bubbles looks all kinds of awful on top of everything else.

But you also started making cereal knowing full-well that you’d have to sell it in that store. The cost of properly promoting it should be part of your production budget.

The best I can do is make them on sale for 90% off.

Oh, buddy, if only you knew how much money shelf space in a supermarket costs. There’s a reason that there is only a super limited supply of sodas on the shelves, and they are all made by 2-3 companies at best.

People have been paying for premium shelf space for decades.

I do find it funny that one of his complaints is that if they don’t like your game they don’t feature it.  Why would anyone purposely advertise a game for free if they didn’t think it was good?

I get that having to pay for promotion sucks and that Sony’s price is exhorbitant for an indie developer.  But I don’t know what the solution is to 10,000 game developers who all shout the system is broken because it doesn’t promote their game more prominently than the other 9,999.

Lol, the number of [NO WHINING] comments on this article.

Yep, same thing when it comes to all the election fraud lies. Outside courts all they talked about was widespread fraud. But inside the courts there were almost no actual cases of fraud being brought, and the few that did were immediately dismissed due to lack of evidence, and had any credible lawyers heading for the…

That’s actually not far from how groceries and other retailers operate. Makers — whether of soda, cereal or toys — pay to be highlighted there.

If he’s not happy I suggest he releases his game on Steam or the Nintendo e-shop, where his game will immediately disappear in an incredible mass of shovelware, never to be seen again. Since when is visibility and advertisement free?

Yep you got us this time lol. Looks like it is
