It’ll be hard to fight, but verbal contracts exist and are legally binding.

He’s suing for $9k, not because he was locked in a bathroom, but because they reneged on a deal they made. This seems reasonable, and also doesn’t seem to be factoring cost increases. Next time, promise the guy food for a month to start, and don’t promise what you can’t deliver.

whatever gets the clicks and outrage, ya know?

I’m not taking Brooner’s side, but I fail to see how a twenty-odd year old sexual assault conviction is relevant to this matter...

This is just embarrassing now.

You mean like how they righted the broken ship of Fallout 4?

Bethesda can salvage this but they need to take a page out of another company’s playbook. Someone who launched an MMO version of a longstanding series even more popular than Fallout and revered by a rabbid fan base. A game so poorly designed that a flowerpot could wreck your shit and melt your processor. A game now…

Well news today, people digging in the files found possibility of loot boxes (though called Lunch boxes i think) on the store though could be what they planned....but with the news if true likely put it on hold.

I’m a bit surprised it’s been 3 days since the last mishap with this game. 

In the past month there sure has been a lot of fallout about this game.

You’d think in a list like this GOG would be there.

Call it an engine or whatever else you want but this:

Unless the emulator is using a ripped BIOs, then Nintendo would have a problem shutting it down. And even then, it is only the ripped BIOs that is illegal, not the emulator itself.

The Switch runs on a very well-known chipset, the Tegra X1. You can get copious documentation on it - it’s also aimed at use in autonomous cars, as well as being used in the Shield microconsole and the Pixel C tablet (quite ironically, Dolphin, the Gamecube/Wii emulator, is somewhat playable on the Shield). It uses a…

Both Nintendo and Sony have failed in their attempts to kill emulation. There has been legal precedent set, and there’s a good chance they can’t overturn that. Plus there isn’t anything illegal about the emulators themselves, it’s ROMs and BIOS that are a problem. And emulators lately have been moving away from things…

Emulation isn’t really about power so much as its about complexity. The Switch is made of known parts (ARM architecture, Nvidia based processor), so this isn’t surprising.  The Xbox One and the PS4 use proprietary hardware (one of the reasons why they tend to be more expensive).

It probably has much more to do with the systems architecture being much more standard than previous systems. Consoles are always behind the curve by 3-5 years in terms of performance relative to mid-high end PC hardware.

It certainly looks like the kind of game that I wouldn’t like, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some people up for lonesome exploration getting griefed with their friends.

Just all boycott the game already to show them we DON’T want a multiplayer online Fallout, especially one that is clobbered together using this 6 years old engine

This is a bad take.
