Before launch, if you heard that the Switch could play Witcher 3 and Doom Eternal, you might have imagined something a bit more powerful than what we actually got.

Outside of stuff like Game Pass where you can ‘bank’ an extended period of time at a pretty steep discount if you keep an eye out, I’ve long since adopted the a la carte purchase model with subscriptions, which is to say I cancel them the instant I buy them.
Completely removes the burden of trying to keep track of…
AS an airline pilot I can tell you that descending 28,000 in ten minutes is 2800FPM which is not a plunge at all. It’s actually a litle slower than I would expect for a depressurization which at that rate wasn’t explosive and probably a fault of the air con packs which pressurize the plane meaning it would slowly lose…
while dramatic for passengers, this is routine procedure when encountering de-pressurization at 36,000ft. At that altitude, passengers will start showing hypoxia symptoms within 20 seconds so it’s crucial to descend fast and rapid descent combined with oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling will create unpleasant…
The mandate was also only in effect for about a year for the film industry so it seems hard to believe that’s the only reason she was broke.
The Covid vaccine mandate was in effect for about a year. It is no longer an industry requirement.
“I hope you’re never in the fucking position I’m in.”
That position being, refusing to protect yourself and others from a deadly pandemic, at the expense of your career, and then acting like YOU’RE the victim?
Thankfully, I will never be in the fucking position you’re in.
And I was just waiting for it to go below $60 . . .
God she thinks she is such. hot. shit. Maddening.
this really does not make sense— that means if I’m selling on Steam or Epic, I’m the the “developer”, and they are the “distributor” does that mean they are charging Steam and Epic the install fee— I think not :)
If they could find a way to make the stealth/assassination stuff as fun as, say, Splinter Cell or Hitman then cool. I didn’t personally like the old style games, with the exception of AC3 which I think everyone hates.
Skills are always transferable. Sure, there would be a learning curve, and yes plugins and the like would be vendor locked; but ultimately, programming is programming, and game logic is game logic. Different syntax, but ultimately the same concepts. It’s why, after learning your very first programming language, it’s…
Just do it, it will be worth it in the long run.
no matter how you feel about acab and blm, it’s not an association that helps your game. anyone who is gonna feel some way about your apab sign, regardless of politics, is gonna think you’re a big dummy and they’re gonna be right. cowards? nah, cut that shit because it’s tasteless.
Yup, there’s no reasonable way to predict how much this could cost the dev and could easily outrun their profit over time. I'm a customer with a desktop, steam deck, laptop, and family sharing with two kids, that’s a lot of potential installs from a single purchase.
At this point no reasonable CTO or small game dev will choose Unity. Even if they roll this change back, the damage is done. The risk is far too high to start a new project that will take years to complete for Unity to suddenly do a rug pull on your project.
How interesting that the CEO also just sold a bunch of his shares in Unity this weekend... I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
Wonder how this affects educational games. I’ve worked at a very large public university for the past 10 years, and a lot of my work involves developing games and VR interactives. I’ve been using Unity for most of the past decade for these types of projects, so I’m hoping this new model won’t affect things, but if it…
Cloud of Daggers is hilarious because there’s no saving throw against it. It’s just straight up damage, all the time, every time.
Put me in the camp of people who really can’t imagine going back to this stuff from Valhalla. We’ll see what the future of the franchise ends up looking like but so far this one is gonna be a hard pass from me.
