Sounds like something a nit picking Sony Ponyta would say. 🤔 

The thing is Miyamoto has a weird logic to his madness. My favorite was Donkey Kong Returns on the Wii. Miyamoto tried out an early alpha and noticed a little dust cloud when you jumped so he started jumping up and down to make more dust clouds. after a little bit he apparently said “you should use that effect for a…

and this only reads as a lower-effort version of what Larian just did.

But this very article says Bethesda has a history doing this, so makes sense they’d do it again with their new game right? I get the hate train is strong right now, but let’s be at least rational with our criticisms.

These are the kind of people who, generally speaking, will happily replace all of the rest of humanity with “AI” and robots to do their bidding while watching the rest of us die.

Hey money ghoul executives in all industries,

We should REALLLLLLLY be wary of this much consolidation within our beloved industry. Platforms gobbling up studios left and right, studios choosing to either use whatever UE has up their sleeves, or go for broke creating their own engine. Not good times. 

I understand the rationale behind moving to UE5 from a business perspective, but regardless it still makes me kind of melancholy. UE5 is a great engine, no question there, and great games have been, and continue to be, produced using Epic’s technology. I just can’t shake the sense that in coalescing behind basically…

Could y’all please try being the least bit critical of this claim? At least provide some context, mention all the people they laid off this year.

Wow, the Reddit trolls are out in force. This isn’t “just” a leak. He didn’t buy a legal copy early, or even violate a review embargo. This guy allegedly stole multiple copies and was reselling them for profit. The people who are defending it as “who cares if Microsoft is missing a few thousand dollars” are the exact…

What about the part where the guy stole a bunch of copies of the game and then tried to sell them?

It wasn’t a leak, insofar as a developer or a reviewer breaking an embargo, it was (allegedly) a straight-up theft of physical copies of the game and reselling them for profit.

Reddit moderation has always been full of issues, from hyper specific rules for each subreddit, to mod groups that act like special clubs... it has never caught on with me.

Yeah sorry, but unless you’re willing to let yourself be judged for any mistake or cheating in a given game, this argument doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Come now, i can't be the only one to have gotten pleasure from these.

I see this comment on nearly every conversation about this topic on kotaku, heck maybe its always you saying it, but i just dont get it. Its such a massively broad statement.

These rumours always have been a pain in ass.

Insiders have been rumbling about this for a while.

I’m always impressed with how swift and harsh the legal system is when it comes to petty bullshit like this, while a corp can commit wage theft to the tune of billions and call it a clerical error.

I would have agreed if it was just the building (classic “lemme just stretch this using transform so I dont have to paint a bunch of straight lines”) but the rest is really just too obviously not just “bad photoshop”.
