Except it’s practically required for all websites to use SSL today due to the increased security it brings, and on a much more down-to-earth level for the tech unsavy, your browser will scream at you if you try to load a page that’s not protected with SSL encryption. SSL solves a problem in online communications. The…

But NFTs where the resource they point to is on a fixed network like a gaming service where the sole owner of the item can be identified via a blockchain seems like a legitimate application of blockchain technology. The usage of the NFT terminology is problematic but the underlying blockchain tech could be useful to…

Ever since they moved their crappy games to Epic’s store it’s been so much more easier to ignore whatever they come up with. A real dumpster of a company Shittysoft has been.

I haven’t gone outside of party chat in 10+ years.  I either stay in a party with IRL friends, or the voice chat is off.  It makes it a much better experience.

I feel as if it may be you who doesn’t understand this thing. It would be one thing if the bear impacted an event or competition in which the livelihood of the players were at stake, another entirely if it’s a skilful game that people are taking all too seriously, when really all they’re doing at the moment is just…

I think the idea that a prolific author/editor/screenwriter with dozens of titles to his credit has suddenly developed a poor work ethic feels off. Most folks his age are retired and don’t work at all; I suspect it’s more likely age has slowed him to the point he can’t deliver like he used to and he doesn’t want to…

You know what, at this point I’m rooting for him to never finish ASOIAF. Take it to the grave, my man. I have never seen such an ungrateful, impatient, ignorant fan base.

He’s absolutely free to donate to whomever he chooses, I’m absolutely free to give him shit for it.

I mean, I don’t know what they could do to make me loathe them any more as a company, other than maybe like a co-branding arrangement with NAMBLA or something. Their troll game is formidable.

Ubisoft just saving me money. Thanks for that! 

Well I haven’t bought a ubi game since siege released, and I guess I won’t ever again, not that they’ve put out anything worth playing in years.

Really? I remember Troy just fine because it came out when I was in college and there’s so much beefcake in it. Brad Pitt/Eric Bana/Orlando Bloom? Something for everyone!

Oh! Look! Another good reason to never buy another Ubisoft product ever again. They make this too easy...

But they said his answers were vague and leaned on buzzwords like “metaverse” and “web 3.0,”

Ah yes, microtransactions and lootboxes, two things gamers famously came around to loving and definitely never started any lawsuits over. A great lane to be in for sure, no lessons here that need learning.

the Ubisoft co-founder said the backlash to the Quartz announcement was expected, and likened it to initial public outcry over previous new developments in the games industry like DLC, microtransactions, and loot boxes.

That man-child attacker should be behind bars for life, with nothing but an Atari and an E.T. cartridge to play with.

I love that movie and have watched it nigh on 50 times. I love the ending with the Devil. It is such a perfect portrayal of him.

You already waited for a pc release. Waiting a few more months isn’t that big of a deal.

Maybe they could stop paying 10s or 100s of millions of dollars in salary to management who seem to only come into the office to play grab ass and talk about hoors over cigars? That should save some money.
