Timely news, especially after the exodus from The Escapist the other day.

I mean, convoluted is an understatement.

I have a theory that they did it because a lot of the original developers at Konami who are used to the Fox Engine are gone, and Unreal is easier for new hires/contractors to pick up.

SKUs aren’t their problem.  This is simplifying production since they don’t need to build different systems using hardware that is specific to them.  Now all Playstations will be identical, but just sold with either a blockoff plate or a drive attached.

this site is becoming trash with all these ads, while trying to focus on the story I have 6 ahsoka ads and an Amazon ad on the right.

Unrelated to my other comment: Fuck this buggy ass site and all of GMG in general. Some of the ads are so broken that they freeze the page entirely or cause flashing and stuttering problems that look potentially seizure inducing for photosensitive individuals.

When you buy a video game you’re only buying it for personal use.

if players have to disable half the game to make it competitive + they somehow feel entitled to complain about that— as if nintendo are the ones making the mistake—then i’m sorry to say the players are the ones who are mistaken in their complaints. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with making up your own rules, but…

Nintendo has made it very clear they don’t want it to exist and designed the game in such a way that half the game’s content has to be disabled in order for it to be competitive in the first place

So, you say you chicked, did you?

I’m glad that even bigger developers like Remedy are just throwing their hands in the air and giving up on PC optimization.

Honestly, I thought about taking the time to adjust lighting on the pacifier, but instead decided to get the post out. Now I wish I’d taken another pass

Had the same thought. Some work went into that baby bonnet. 

Don’t forget reaping, if not salaries at every company, his share of what little profits are getting generated.

Wait, a company with a reactionary idiot CEO who also happens to be trying to be CEO for multiple other companies at the same time is struggling now that there are actual problems to resolve and competition from other companies?

Elon’s famous for saying that if factory workers can’t work from home, software engineers shouldn’t get to either. But that doesn’t apply to him, does it? He’s in an intense leadership role in multiple companies. If I told my management “Hey, I’ll be spending eight months of the year working at other companies, but I…

Sure seems like there are a number of people who have been fortunate enough to have their decisions go their way for long enough that it’s basically impossible for them to admit that they even have the capacity for making an incorrect call. Anything that happens is the fault of someone or something else.
