This expectation that a game should be supported and added to well beyond its release date is just absurd and actually causing issues for small developers. Steam is full of negative reviews from people upset that a game is no longer supported regardless of how long ago it was fully released.

This can’t be stated enough. Cruz and those like him are smart enough to know how to manipulate people to get enough votes, and that’s all they care about. Greene and Boebert are genuinely stupid to the point of being incapable of doing anything but spout nonsense that even their voters don’t understand at times. Cruz…

I get why they mention Game Pass but making it so much of a focus as though they’re as responsible is just absurd and trying to make something out of nothing. If this was a PS5 exclusive would they be doing the same to Sony? Hint: they shouldn’t.

I don’t get the need to incorporate Game Pass so much in this article. Particularly when it comes to their tweets. It’s like you’re trying to hold Microsoft accountable when they’re not responsible in any way...

The scary part is that’s literally what she was suggesting at the damn memorial service. Right beside Trump as he skirts that fine line of not disagreeing with the anti vaxxers so they love him while still touting that he helped get the vaccine made so quickly.

You’re conflating the issue with the whole cost of making a game rising. They’re currently making DLC for Factorio. They’ve sold 3.5 million copies of Factorio. Why do they need more money from a game released 2 years ago, and how do they plan to get more income from it by increasing the price instead of lowering the…

The difference is the video game industry has shifted significantly in terms of what it takes to create a game and sell it. In 2000 the developer/publishers would be lucky to make 25% off a game sale due to distribution and retail profits. Now they’re making 70% selling on Steam, for instance. That’s drastically…

The thing is, the price of making games has changed significantly in how much a developer company makes off sales. No longer is a publisher required to sell a game by making physical copies and pushing it out to the stores to sell them. So you’ve had publisher, distribution, physical hardware, and brick and mortar…

It’s not luck to buy the right TV for what you intend to watch.

I get that sentiment, but let’s not act like this is something all TV shows deal with when in reality it’s maybe one or two episode of a show in a year that will have lighting issues for people. This isn’t really an accessibility concern and I’d much rather a director be permitted to create something however they like…

Networks aren’t going to push to standardize TV settings unfortunately because it’s really not as big of an issue as people make it out to be. You only hear about it online during an episode that’s watched by tens of millions of people, otherwise this issue is non-existent to the networks.

I agree about IMDB, but what it tells you is what the overall public opinion on a movie is. I don’t take it for face value, no one should when Marvel movies are considered almost as good as iconic movies of their eras that transformed the industry. That’s my point though, that the general public has no fucking clue…

My wife’s 2019 Honda has a lot of features that literally every car should be required to have at this point, and it would prevent these kinds of accidents not just daily, but probably every minute of the day. Assisted braking, lane assist, blind spot indicators, and automated cruise control (the kind that brakes or…

I get what you’re trying to say, but you can’t really assess the quality of Tesla’s self driving in that way. Of course millions of cars driving daily in the US is going to get into more accidents than a single person ever could. That’s just pure numbers difference and means nothing.

Top Gun Maverick currently has an 8.4 rating on imdb. There’s no way in hell that movie is even remotely compatible to other films at a similar rating. We’re talking about Gladiator, Psycho, Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Shining, Amadeus, and many others. These are films people routinely suggest seeing if you’ve…

That’s a bit of a stretch. Scalpers don’t fear consumers not buying games for a specific platform. Going this route is 100% pro-consumer, and yes not limiting the amount of copies would be better, but to make this out like Blizzard is awful for doing this when not considering scalpers is reaching just to be upset.

“But why not have a different version that is $60-70 more and includes a code for the game?”

Firstly, the country is moving left, not right, did you not witness this past election cycle where record numbers of young people voted for the left? 18-29 year olds voted for Dems by 63%, that’s a fucking landslide my friend.

Just gonna leave this here for ya.

Let’s be honest though, SMS clearly wasn’t in this to make the most realistic sim racing ever, so they’d never truly be able to compete with the likes of iRacing or Automobilista or Assetto Corsa. Expecting that from PC4 would be wishful thinking at the very best. They started selling out when they realized they…
