I’m openly willing to criticize a product from a company that I patronize (been a Sony guy since the PS2 launched) but these reports of crazy bugs and performance issues baffle me, I haven’t seen soo much as a frame rate drop let alone the crashes and glitches I’m seeing people mention. I’m wondering if A: a lot of…

Yeah. A game with a small file size (think Stardew), could likely be installed in a minute or two. A single user could install 1000+ times a day, so ad in another order of magnitude, and an incredibly small group of pissed off gamers can drain well over 1 mil a week from a company.

“Fun,” thought about, “unique installs.” No matter how good their tech is, spinning up VMs will look like multiple unique installs.

What’s genuinely shocking is that Unity believe they can apparently completely unilaterally make absolutely vast changes to their rules, without consultation, without real warning, and severely to the detriment of the people using their product. Even if they get you to sign something saying that, that’s not exactly…

including that charity games and bundles are excluded from fees

I’ll say this for D4: it really helped expand the Path of Exile community, so, well done there.

It came from the company that gave us Warcraft 3: Refunded and Diablo Immoral.  Is anyone shocked?

the way AAA/corporate gaming has molested this game/franchise is sad to see.  not unexpected but still sucks. 

Path of Exile is FREE.

ya, I’m not buying a new Diablo 4 expansion every bloody year. the hype for this game seems liked it died the moment the first season comes out. i leveled a wizard to 78 and then the season hit and my friends were just not interested.

I can’t do this anymore...I just can’t with Live Service games. I’m too old, there’s too many cool games, there’s just not enough time.

Everyone has a “hate boner” because they have earned one at this point, Bethesda game studios has not put out a game without issues for a long time, and needing Moddershall to fix your shit over and over is lazy development (some Bethesda games years apart have had the same bugs)

chinese decent and actual chinese are different things

When it comes to their game development, the poster is 100% spot on. 

There’s 18 articles so far today. Just two of them are about Baldur’s Gate 3, and of those only this one is on the topic of sex. You then have to go alllllll the way back to August 16th to find the most recent one before that on the topic (from any game), and that one is the article about speed-running to the first…

I think that may have more to do with the expectations set by past experience than general pessimism. Especially since people were really hyped (see: optimistic) for CDPR to really nail this game and be a “good” studio.

“Roscosmos”

Isn’t ‘exploiting children’ the entire business model for Roblox?

I'm not sure how physically big California licenses are, but is it really that inconvenient to carry one. I mean it's like you need to change it or anything. 

Pretty big, but when installing a 1TB drive in my PS5 yesterday, I was surprised to see that SW Jedi Survivor is 148GB!
