“It can’t be the software.” Bullshit. It may or may not be the software, but saying it can’t is at best stupid and is more likely an outright lie.

Both AMD and Nvidia cards are dying because of the game.

The article never explains how the game managed to “brick” the evga 3090 cards. That is something I really want to know.

How... interesting that they just so happened to be sitting on tons of new cards in stock and ready to ship for this exact event. I mean, I’m not a conspiracy-minded person, but capitalism is, in fact, a fuck, and this chip scarcity thing should have been resolved months ago (with these factories knowing full damn…

The SMT label is applied pretty inconsistently for spinoffs even in Japan. The games are undoubtedly spinoffs of the Megami Tensei series, but they haven’t all carried the title.

if it’s any consolation, the unofficial English translation patch is very good

I think Atlus, and now Sega hold the blame for the wonky way that they go about releasing games outside of Japan. The recent high price for the Nocturne “HD remaster” isn’t doing an old game any favors. Like seriously, sell it for 30 bucks with all the bells and whistles and maybe the newer Persona fans and those who…

The title of the game likely draws from the movie if... a British movie about teenagers fantasizing about mowing down their classmates and teachers in gunfire. Considering the game takes place in a school, has teenagers fighting a reoccurring teacher as a boss, it fits. The use of “if” in regards to choices to make,…

I’m a little disappointed that the Nintendo Switch Online in Japan got this and we did not. It’s like how the PlayStation mini got Persona 1 in Japan but we got something else less cool. Yes, yes I know both games haven’t been localized. Silly Atlus: don’t you know people want to play your games?! The Switch is a…

Plus, honestly this remind me of all the people shitting on Epic Games for purposefully taking the “losing money because we have money to burn until we can displace the opposition enough to establish ourselves” tactic against Steam and.... honestly looking at the form factor, this feel like Steam doing *exactly just…

I’m not sure where you got your numbers because they got like 4 billion that year. That’s be a little over 5k a minute.

“2017 estimates put them around 10 thousand dollars a day,”

Yeah, the only stats I can find say in 2017, they made $4.3 billion in revenue. Even if that’s raw sales, and Valve only keeps 30% of that, that’s still $3 million/day. Would love to hear where that $10k/day figure comes from. Maybe that’s just Gabe’s cut.

From where are you getting these unreasonably low numbers? Because I’ve read around 3-5 billion revenue a year, which would mean 10 million a day.

10 thousand dollars a day? So Steam, a company run by 200 employees, and owning a massive office in the middle of Bellevue, with around 200 million active users is making about the same everyday as your run of the mill Olive garden location?  Can you link this pearl of wisdom you found this from?

Listen, I get not wanting to take a loss on hardware, especially when every other attempt (barring the Index, maybe) has failed miserably.

That said, Valve has spent the last 20 years making BILLIONS off the backs of other devs/publishers, and has done absolutely fuck all because of it. They make hundreds of millions a…

I am a “mmo boomer” and I recently tried FF14.

Yeah and it only took, what, 6 or 7 years to even make that game playable?

I need to constantly remind myself that this is an Amazon game, because everything about it feels like an MMO someone ordered from Wish.com ...
