CP being good (and I maintain it’s not) isn’t even part of it’s success, it sold millions in pre-orders. You don’t do that with quality, you do that with hype, and it was pretty much the most hyped game ever.

Mismanagement and unrealistic timelines, most likely. Neither Paradox nor Hardsuit Labs has ever made a AAA game before so inexperience likely led them to underestimate just about every facet of development. Hardsuit Labs probably missed a bunch of milestones, even after extensions, and that’s generally when…

Yes, CP was such a disaster that it sold over 13 million copies in two weeks and has a 85 Metacritic score (PC version, of course). People like to pretend that CP is some unmitigated disaster like Duke Nukem Forever or Daikatana when the reality is that it’s a good, albeit unpolished, game that was a commercial…

“I wanted them to do this,” he told Vice News. “This is a great day for me.”

I look forward to Jason Schreier eventually finding out what the hell went wrong

The game was originally released in early 2020 and then on Steam in 2021 both times published by 505 Games. The other version work fine. Its just the stadio version thats a mess.

David Frum, speechwriter for G W Bush, said, “when conservatives become convinced they cannot win elections, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.” That’s basically where they’re at. The last Republican to win the White House with the popular vote was H W Bush in 1988. That was 32 years ago,…

White supremacy/white nationalism will probably be the major internal threat of most western nations for decades to come, as countries transition away from being “majority white” and become ethnic pluralities.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with DMCA being used for real theft of IP like this. The issue for DMCA is when it’s abused, and unfortunately it’s abused often. For example, an IRL streamer is walking around a mall and one of the stores is playing a song in the background and that gets DMCA’d. That’s total…

Since when do you play Whack a mole with a scalpel?

I mean the DMCA was created with good intentions, the problem is that it’s often abused and file hosting sites don’t have the man power to sift through all the complaints for ones that are legitimate and those made in bad faith.

As bad as the DMCA is, this seems like a fairly legitimate use to me?

“Who controls our access to both art and entertainment is very much a matter of crucial importance, and the extremely rich people determining those matters do not need defending.” You’re not wrong, but this is a weird line in an article that is primarily concerned with defending one of the most powerful, wealthy…

I have a sister who loves classical music and bristles at people who eat it like vegetables, and says what they don’t seem to understand is that people like her love it because it’s aesthetically pleasing; the notion that you should engage with something because it’s “good for you” (or will somehow make your more…

Oh, is that a comics easter egg?

Also, they probably spent five year talking about nothing else in the news. 

Talking of dysfunctional game development this came out one day after the seventh anniversary of Ken Levine sacking almost the entirety of Irrational Games so he could work on ‘smaller, creative projects’.

He’s not Pietro from Wanda’s universe, but he could still be pulled from the Multiverse. It doesn’t even have to be the X-Men one, just that he looks like Peter from that one.

Let’s just hope he didn’t kill any more kids!

Your comment is funny.
