Leave it to Apple to announce a bunch of indie tier games of which there’s plenty (and really good ones) on consoles and PC while acting as if it’s some new and innovative approach to gaming that only Apple can make 

“for Apple devices”

Because Steam still maintains as one of the largest platforms, and the idea of people having to download your client just to see the icon pop up in the store, when you could have them passively seeing the icons every day they log into steam just makes better business sense.

Hey, you guys remember when Steam was tightly curated, and a vocal minority constantly threw a fit about Valve being overly selective? Then they established a system to let people vote on more stuff to bring in, and people continued to throw a fit because they didn’t like the way it worked? Then they opened the gates…

Epic can still get fucked. Throwing around Fortnite money to make the PC space genuinely worse when it’s finally on the rise after being neglected for multiple console generations is a shit move, and supporting it, as well as Tencent, makes the people defending their practices a part of the problem.

My main reaction to this is amusement at the contrast between that attitude and the quality of their own launcher. Honestly, I’ve said it before, but this is competition not for consumers so much as producers. I don’t really see anything good for the rest of us coming out of this bizarre intra-platform exclusivity war.

Feels like epic store’s not going that well. Epic knows that they can’t rely on fortnite forever so they’re looking for ways to create more revenue streams. But epic store’s lacking so many features that steam users are so familiar with that it just left a negative impression on people’s minds.

Exclusivity to an online storefront is lame.

This sounds like a good version of Gat out of Hell

I know some fans prefer more grounded games, while other fans like myself are into the weirder Far Cry adventures.

Programmer here: Optical disk drives are perhaps the slowest form of memory used in modern computers, and not just by a marginal amount, it’s in a whole different magnitude. While processing speed increases year to year, data transfer speed doesn’t really increase at all. As we keep making file sizes larger, if we…

Spoiler for me, personally: When the Marvel logo rolled out completely comprised of Stan cameos, I immediately teared up. Then, when they popped the “Thank you, Stan” card, I spilled over.

I like Alexios.  

which is a hilarious thing from the dude who created the Terminator to say

You basically contradicted your entire point. The only place Sony can go is down from here. And they’re doing everything possible lately to ensure that they go down hard next generation.

“I don’t want to objectively think about an issue, so every argument I make must include an easily dispatched strawman.”

It’s the same tone deafness that has plagued the industry for years. From a developer standpoint, being on the Epic game store just means potential customers have to download an installer and go. From a consumer stand point, it means handing my credit card or paypal or what have you to a company that for the past year…

RE3 wasn’t too bad. The conceit of Nemesis being a persistent, terrifying threat was pretty good and reasonably well executed.
