Possibly unrelated, but maybe not; just a few days ago The Spiffing Brit on YouTube put out a video detailing an exploit on Steam (building off of a previous example of it with 1 specific game) where-in you purchase a game, find the CD Key provided, then refund the game. However the CD Key still works.

I’m not even sure if he’s selling multiple shares of it (I refuse to click through to his video or anywhere else to give him extra attention, so maybe there are details left out of this article).

Given they aren’t properly regulated, they CAN be, but they don’t actually confer any ownership of those things. I think so far various NFT shit has only been able to be slapped down for IP infringement when they use infringing things to advertise them i.e. a website presence using logos, art, etc. but not for the NFT…

So…he’s selling 51% ownership of the card, to a single individual. And proof of that ownership is what the NFT actually is in this case? And whoever holds that NFT owns 51% of the card, no questions asked? So whoever buys it can sell that majority ownership to anyone else and he just has to deal with it, and if that…

I mean, what fucked up Cyberpunk 2077 is CDPR leadership setting dates when they had no clue what the fuck was going on with the status of the game, or worse were being told about it but refused to budge. As well as greedily insisting the game get out in a specific window to release on the prior console generation,…

That probably varies wildly from place to place. I’ve 100% seen big bags of stale end-of-night popcorn thrown away, as well as dragged home by a teenage employee because duh free giant bag of popcorn.

Yeah the issue with every argument here is that, people lie. High-profile people lie. Executives lie. Companies lie. And we’ve had plenty of cases of high-profile game developers/publishers publicly saying there will be no crunch, then immediately making developers crunch.

I mean, have sympathy for the small content creators who were the main ones getting struck by this asshole in his bid to stir up a boogeyman for his own benefit.

Seems predictable. There are streamers who specialize in VR content who will still get sick or disoriented, or just generally only be able to go for so long in VR for one reason or another.

There was Dead Island, and then Dead Island:Riptide which was a direct continuation but not a numbered sequel; maybe they viewed it as a 1.5, or a standalone expansion. Sequel is supposed to be in a totally different location with new characters etc.

I didn’t even catch that there is no Goat Simulator 2, because I haven’t thought about Goat Simulator since whatever year it was briefly everywhere online.

I thought the entire entertainment industry learned this lesson alllllll the way back with Snakes on a Plane, but apparently not. People making jokes online mocking your dumb, mediocre, or ridiculous movie does not equate to ticket sales.

There are trees in the trailer and images on the official site. I don’t care to look but I assume there are plenty of people bitching about any and every visual element across Twitter, Reddit, and elsewhere.

I’m holding off any and all interest in this game until it’s out and I hear how it turned out.

Your example is great, but not really what I’m ever seeing as a comparison. That would be a smart comparison! “Hey, X game is paying a lot of attention to detail on the interaction of physics, weather, and the environment just like BotW.” Very valid take to compare.

I don’t think they’ve said but it’s very likely they work at your school in this game. You go to a different school in each version, color coded orange/scarlet or purple/violet just like these Professors outfits.

You’re over-defending BotW when I wasn’t criticizing it in the first place. I was speaking against the bad habit of describing everything boiling it down to “it’s like [thing you already know]” while not caring to look at what it does beyond surface level similarities. And specifically that BotW keeps being used for…

For me it will depend on how well they sell whatever Miraidon’s concept is. Because right now it looks a lot like “robot made to compete with the real legendary” but if it’s just naturally occurring as something similar, but a robot, meh. Like if they try to go the route of “these two have been at odds for hundreds of…

Prof. Magnolia in Sword/Shield is also an older grandparent. Her granddaughter Sonia doesn’t become a professor in her own right until the post-game after she publishes a book on her research.

Also the little orange regional-Pikachu-equivalent is called Pawmi, and the little olive-shaped one is Smoliv.
