Neversoft would go on to work on Modern Warfare 3, Ghosts and 2014’s Advanced Warfare

Thank fuck honestly, that’s refreshing. Not every damn rpg needs a dating sim built in.

“Not sure if this modder realizes it, but rescaling the models absolutely counts as editing them.”

The scales of the models being near identical was the most damning evidence of plagiarism against Palworld

Zooming in on something is editing it? I’ve seen some terrible takes around this game, but this is one of the worst.

I had a motorized meat slicer in my kitchen for years. Nothing over the top or industrial grade but it was great for more than just slicing meats; good for certain cheeses and veggies too. You could get paper-thin onion slices.

Yeah the meat really isn’t any different than before.  It seemed like a silly idea to begin with.

Honestly its more then just that these days. My son recently wanted to get into a table top wargame and my wife and I have Warmachine/Hordes. Our stuff is mostly the first and second edition of the game and somehow between the last two moves we lost some of the rule books and the model cards.

It’s wild that so many old games only exist and are playable now thanks to people uploading them to the net and building emulators/tools to keep them alive. 

Pirates are doing *MOST* of the heavy lifting when it comes to game preservation. See also: movies and music

Square predictably dipping their feet into murky waters. More news after the break.

I’m not an IP lawyer or anything, but I thought the legal understanding is that you can’t copywrite things that clearly generic: i.e. ‘Lyft’ and ‘Google’ deliberately misspell ‘lift’ and ‘googol’ so they can be wholly owned by the companies.

“before your parents even knew how to make you, there was The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall.”

This article answers the question it asked —why is Wonka considered a box office success compared to The Marvels — really easily. Wonka is considered a box office success because it’s likely to make a lot of money, whereas The Marvels costs a lot more, so it will lose a lot of money.

Another factor to consider for comparison’s sake is that Wakanda Forever had premiered on essentially the exact same weekend one year before The Marvels. Both are sequels to films that opened around comparable times (Black Panther in February; Captain Marvel in March) and grossed over $150 million in their opening…

While the reasons The Marvels underperformed are worth digging into, the constant dragging the conversation out, even when discussing the success of unrelated projects, feels like a part of the phenomenon, not some impartial outsider’s observation. Like, you’re not examining the hole; you’re digging it deeper.

Why is this even an article?

Yikes, does something this self-evident really need to be explained to people? If so, let me add that Wonka has already made $150 mil globally, and is on pace to make more globally than The Marvels by, likely, a hefty amount. It will be more successful irrespective of budgets.

The people who will run in with attempts at “told you so”s will ignore two major elements:

1) Even if it was the best thing ever, Microsoft did such an ATROCIOUS job explaining/marketing it, it never would have mattered. The case study of just how you could botch a console launch from every conceivable angle is…
