The thing is Nintendo isn’t alone in this market niche anymore. When the gameboy released people couldn’t easily emulate it on a portable device. But now the switch finds itself with the Steamdeck knocking on it’s door.

Once the emulation is good enough, there’d be no incentive to buy a console that can only play…

“bruxussy” is gonna be my word of the day.

IMO because Sony made enough noise? Other mergers either didn’t have a third party with enough capital or media presence to be heard or if they existed, they didn’t care as much to stop it.

Sony managed to cry so much about Call of Duty that even politicians that can’t tell apart an Xbox from a Nintendo DS noticed it.

He then says the biggest companies in the world are now Chinese operations like Tencent, who enjoy “protected markets”, and cites Activision’s own “struggles” to enter the Japanese market as proof that the real competition

I have to agree that on a general gaming sub, you gotta keep the discussion to gameplay. This is a common etiquette  rule not just tied to this particular case.

Don’t forget chaos ending! Nothing remains broken if you just burn everything into a primordial soup.

To be fair, it’s one of the most unique endings, along the chaos ending.

The other 4 endings are like Mass Effect 3, generic cutscene but with a different color filter.

As long as the AI doesn’t learn that she can get rich promoting crypto scams this could be an improvement over the average streamer tbh. But if she does end up doing that, it’ll be proof we live in the wrong timeline.

The issue here is Logan wasn’t promoting it like it was gaming. Even if there’s no signed contract, if he publicly goes on camera saying he’ll make a game that’ll make you rich then there’s no game and you’re not rich.... that’s plain and simple a scam. We could be here all day arguing about how unrealistic those…

Hey officer, I didn’t commit any crimes but here’s $100, wink wink.

If we’re gonna be nitpicky, why are the torches still lit then? TBH when I saw the gif I thought people would complain about that, not about the looks.

The background designer is credited as “AI (+ Human).” Um, I’m pretty sure that the human has an actual name.

I’m getting the impression that they are trying to make the game a bit more serious? It’s cool if they want to make it scarier, but I have this mental image of Leon being a goofy action hero full of gratuitous backflips and supplexes and chainsaw parrying with his adamantium knife.

It’d be like remaking RE5 and not…

An american sports valuing safety over putting out a spectacle? Color me surprised but it was the right call.

grandpa, get off the internet, you’re being weird again

There’s crappy and completely deplorable usages of AI like this.... then there’s the paranoid fearmongering people that think everything AI related is the anti-christ.

Using their code as a base for your own project would cross the gray area into guaranteed getting sued tho.

> The main crux of the criticism is he’s exploiting disabled folks for clout and, ultimately, revenue.

I mean, even if we crank the cynicism and that were true... he will then use that revenue to kickstart another project that will end up helping people and even if that other project is also for clout, it’s profits…

The protagonist has a severe case of trying to out-suffer everyone she talks to. “Your father died? well reverse uno card, I’m an orphan and NEVER met mine!” kinda thing is so annoying to me because I met people that are like that, that no matter what you tell them they try to out do you as if everything is a…

I feel like a moving electric hazard along with what I assume are tanks full of pepper spray and smoke grenades should be illegal at least in a bunch of countries.

That thing looks more like a weapon than just “safety measures”
