That's what I thought and picked up Empire of Sin. Mistake.

Apart from maybe you, everyone knows that it's currently legal. Why do you so urgently want to discuss it? But ok, let's catch you up to speed. It is currently legal. Everyone knows that.

Well, that's something: > Another developer stated: ‘Well, we ended up with a model that basically targeted members of the Saudi royal family and charged them 100x what regular players would pay for the same microtransaction, and it worked..’

Switch 2 carts are reportedly only 64GB in size and cost $16 USD ***per unit***. Nintendo only makes one size and then game key cards. It's an artificial cap, as there's already larger SD Express cards too.

Probably helps that it's a mod: so it's not making them any money anyway

the only subscription I tolerate is taxation and internet and phone, but only because the alternative sucks.

> He worked at Blizzard, but not as a developer, it’s been likened to someone who worked in the billing department at a hospital weighing in on medical care. A QA would probably be more involved, since they would be testing the game or something related to the game. How relevant his experience was depends on what he worked on and who he had access to talk to. I learned a lot about electrical engineering while working as a software engineer at a company that built custom antennas because I talked to the EEs a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a similar experience at Blizzard. > preferring the ego boost of being a streamer And probably the money. With a big enough audience, it pays reasonably well. I doubt his games are selling well enough to live off of. > He claims he was review bombed He claims the other publisher was review bombed, I'm talking about his studio's games, which do seem to be review bombed (overwhelmingly negative for recent reviews, positive all time). > I think a lot of people who are mad at him were following him Perhaps. But a lot of people knee-jerk join the bandwagon as well. Look at everyone jumping on the Godot hate train. I refuse to form a negative opinion without being fully informed, because the cult of public opinion can be absolutely reactionary. So I err on the side of giving people the benefit of the doubt. And yeah, content creators jumping on the bandwagon isn't my cup of tea, since they have a motivation to exaggerate to get views. I want a pretty unbiased, fair take, not a rage bait take, and that's more likely to be found on a forum like this instead of on YouTube. Hence why I'm asking.

```text FYI, you can tell Markdown what language your preformatted section is in so that it does syntax highlighting correctly -- or in the case of plaintext, not at all. Just put 'text' after the initial three backticks, like this: ``` ```text [Contents of preformatted section] ```

Yeah, it's absurd. Lots of games just warn in their licence agreement that they don't control the experience you get from user-created content and online interactions. It's all it takes for them, especially if they don't even host that content on their own servers. One line of EULA is probably enough to state the right holder is not responsible for what happens in private servers.

Worked on a personal game for 7 years nearly every day. Signed with a publisher and gave up on the project the following year.

> I know those guys, some are super earnest and kind (and most are more self-aware than this guy) Condolences. They've normalized it for you and you are becoming them. > I'd burn it all down at this point, honestly. It's not worth it. Yeah. The machine you're grinding is shit. Burn it down and find a grind where you aren't near dystopian slide engineers.

The problem here isn't that the games are bad, it's that people are being taken advantage off. A lot of effort goes into making these games as enticing to spend to spend money as possible, which leads to people spending more money on them than they can afford. Vulnerable people are being taken advantage off, and that's not okay.

Reminder that companies and billionaires are not your friends, including Steam and 6-mega-yacht-owning Gaben.

Sony only publishes the PlayStation versions. MLB Advanced Media publishes it on every other platform.

Thanks, will take a quick look at that.

Is there a SCP monster for EA or other big game company's marketing teams? Because they're a reality bending entity that creates unrealistic tasks that others are forced to do, despite knowing they won't manage AND will end up as lifeless husks either way
