I’ll be giving this a try at some point for Gravity Rush Remastered alone.  Smart choice Sony!

How about “Nintendo games that are 30 years old should be reasonably priced and shouldn’t require you to purchase them as if they were brand new every console generation”?

The last time I played Gwent it was actually a pretty solid TCG for a beta card game, so I’m definitely in agreement.  Blizzard has really mismanged this IP and I don’t see it rebounding any time soon.

I think it could be fairly simple to implement, although they would need to diligent about maintaining it.

Yeah, I almost wonder if they should have a “F2P” ladder seperate from the current ladder. The game has become very P2W over the past few expansions, to the point that I can’t justify grinding dailies in hopes of a rare card anymore because I’ll still be woefully behind the curve. A seperate ladder could create some…

My guess is that because Sony is an electronics hardware company first and foremost they were trying to double dip.  They didn’t learn from the PSP that you can’t gouge consumers on price and features in exchange for a shiny screen resolution.  The results were more of the same, despite a far better library.

This is a fairly common thing to announce in Japan, thankfully.  They’re very tight-lipped about their health in general, so creators will announce a hiatus for “health” or “illness” and never go into detail about what they have.  Given that Nobuo elaborated he has fatigue I’m inclined to believe that’s what he’s…

These are interesting changes, but unless Blizz is going to fundamentally alter their development pipeline so that they don’t break the game every gods-damned expansion, it’s all a bit pointless.

Yeah, the anti-competitor policies of YT and Twitch are pretty anti-consumer.  They only serve the companies that block the practice.

I have a fairly interesting history with Bebop, as a viewer.

My God yes. This is a pretty big feature that’s missing, and I suspect that back-end infrastructure issues are to blame (as this would increase server demands exponentially even to just give people the option).

Dashboard -> Settings(left nav bar) -> Channel.

I’ll agree with you that the Twitch UI is in need of an overhaul.  Latency is an option now, but it’s buried in a location you’d never think to look.

I think Twitch has gotten better about that, but this was definitely a selling point originally.

I think an exec somewhere said “we need to compete with Twitch” and commissioned a team to get into it but didn’t want to either pay for the R&D to make it successful or just wanted something quickly put together and didn’t want to pay money to iterate it beyond its initial concept.

As a streamer I found the tools on YT gaming lackluster when I tried it. A lack of real time metrics and customizability made it an inferior option for what people expect out of a stream.

“Capitalism: A microcosm.”

For fishing.

True, but I don’t think he wants to run his own server, because it really is very much a webdev experience still where you have to set up your own website with code, not a turn-key experience like Discord.

No, it’s not like that at all.
