Yeah, it’s kind of under the radar (people are mostly able to get their stuff) but also kind of terrifying in that the supply chain as a whole is rather precarious. There’s not a lot of resiliency if the wrong factory goes down due to a typhoon - that kind of stuff.

Decent article about it here: https://www.techrepubli…

I agree, I thought it made a lot of sense. She’s had that badass action all her life because she was on the run from the TVA and hiding in apocalypses. Let her chill and live a simple life, at least for a bit.

He Who Remains all but outright admitted that he had manipulated things to give Loki the timeslip powers. They didn’t come from nowhere. And he then spent centuries using them.

You completely missed the point of Sylvia working at McDonalds. After being born a god and running from apocalypse to apocalypse, she just wants to live a normal life. Working at McDonalds in a normal life. It’s not a shameful thing. It’s the type of life that millions of people have.

There is still a general shortage of chips on the global market. With the generative AI boom in full swing, demand for chips will likely always outpace supply meaning the costs to manufacture consoles isn’t likely to come down anytime soon.

Yeah, there’s an entire generation of gamers who’ve grown up with paid skins. They don’t know any different, it’s totally normal to them. Add to that I can’t help but thinking a large part of that generation just play a few games a year. As a 40 something gamer, I’ve never bought a skin and hopefully never will. That,…

So the answer here is that as far as we know the PS5 is no longer sold at a loss but the margin of profit is slim. The XSX and XSS are still sold at a loss, and we dont have any clear window on how much of a loss. We know some of this information because of all the lawsuits and FTC things.

“Now Bloomberg reports that the game was rushed out in half the time of a normal Call of Duty sequel, with devs working nights and weekends to meet Activision’s annualized sales goals.”

So where the fuck are devs compensations then? The lay offs?

Also your math is bullshit. A 80 dollar game that would cost 181 today also sold to a tiny fraction of the audience games have today.

My company refuses to let me hire anyone in at anything other than the base pay for position under me without getting…

As a dev, let me just say big L-O-L at “inflation” being the reason. It’s corporate greed, period. You think those profits go back to the devs?

“So rising prices of gaming primarily goes to increased development costs.”

Just false. Maybe take a look at how many layoffs there have been this year.

It has nothing to do with inflation. Not all game are selling skins at that price, not all games have realised there fanbase has whales that are willing to buy them for that price. Also they still sell cheaper skins, it’s greed simple as, greed knowing that people will buy them that’s why they aim for nostalgia or big…

Introducing...

I liked Andromeda well enough in spite of how tedious it was, but man, it is just hard for me to trust Bioware to make a competent game with a halfway decent story.

Like, how many people were actually tweeting from their PS5s?

We’re days away from The Marvels which co-stars Ms. Marvel with Fury also there, with some connections to Secret Invasion likely included.

It becomes a chore to have to go back to a movie you really weren’t interested in or having to add TV shows to your viewing routine.

A big part of why the soft reboot worked for God of War is because they were able to shift to a new set of gods and mythological creatures and they were willing to give a huge shift in tone in Kratos’ character from the “hyper-angry, off camera sex scene minigame” version that preteens loved in the 00's to a more…

You are mistaken if you think PC gamers don’t hate PC gamers.

I find it charming that she can pretty much say “well actually” to Kevin.

Seriously, is there anyone besides PC gamers who don’t hate PC gamers? “I’m a PC gamer, I don’t own anything, I’ve been paying for licenses under strict DRM that they can take away from me anytime and I like to brag about it constantly because it makes me feel superior because a million frames per second is the only…
