There’s definitely something sinister to early Ub Iwerks and Fleischer stuff. I think it’s a combination of the demented/hapless characters who have this kind of Mr. Bill-esque naïve detachment from what’s actually going on, plus this sense that nothing is static and therefore nothing is safe because anything can come…

The Devs culpability is clear but they’re not the only player in this game, Steam/Valve is also, albeit to a much lessor extent. I don’t think vetting every single product is feasible (too much volume) but I know that a wild-west wide open door is not either. This is the most spectacular fraud but it’s far from the…

That decision is way worse for Google as it would allows ANYBODY, not just Epic Games, to be allowed to use their own payment systems and application installers (I.E. “Game stores”). Like Microsoft, as stated in the articles.

How EVO lost best eSport event while having growth in pretty much every aspect, got a key to Las Vegas and a day dedicated to them by Las Vegas is baffling while every other eSport event has been on the downturn.

Ngl, this looks charming af and perfect for the holidays.

Any form of competition has to have rules, and when the genre is a fighting game, the rules are generally going to weed out randomness to provide a field of play that allows players to compete in a relatively stable environment. Arguing that ‘just because’ the game designers decided that there should be 20 stages…

Tbf only losers hobby shame.

It’s not the old console games I’m worried about - look at the always online games. Once they’re dropped they’re gone. Not hard to access, or requiring an emulator - just straight up no longer extant. You can’t play Battleborn or Marvel Heroes anymore, not even on private servers.

The wind from your soul drives the demons from the cartridge allowing you to play.  It’s a fact!

It’s a sacred ritual, and an important part of the nostalgia.

Would you care to share the issue?

Ah yes 4/11.  Got Infamous and Little Big Planet out of that one.

I lived through Sony 4/11. Never forget.

This is gonna be disastrous for the entire games industry. There is no way one of the biggest companies buying out another of the biggest companies will be a net positive, it’s going to quickly turn anti-competitive and anti-consumer. But because Microsoft knows exactly what to say and what small concessions to make,…

Wait, they actually tried to get the game running natively on the Switch instead of using streaming..?

I’m with a few of the others here. It’s against the rules, but as long as you aren’t surpassing the actual possible limits of what a Pokémon should be I find it hard to call it “cheating” specifically.

As it turns out, some people enjoy things that you don’t, and are sad to see the death of games in this list. Who knew?
