But also, isn’t the reason these WoW Tokens are low is because people are trading their in-game gold for it instead of actually paying $90 cash??

I think the big problem wasn’t just the quantity, but the content. Every conversation felt like a character was just narrating their wiki bio to me, and not actually talking about anything current.

I will never understand people who think this movie isn’t funny - endlessly quotable:

“That’s a lot of nuts!” “You should be able to beat him now!” “Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!”

I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.

Yeah - I don’t want to be too dismissive. I’ve read interviews with him, and despite his success, he hasn’t measurably changed his lifestyle or fallen into the traps a big influx of money can cause. It honestly reminds me of No Man’s Sky (minus the redempetion arc) where enough money was made from the base product that it funds ongoing development for the forseeable future.

I mean this is great, props… But didn’t he already make his nut with this game?? I mean I can play it on my fucking Tesla, I assume he got paid.

For a while streamers were doing this thing where they would renew a show for Season 2 before the Season 1 pilot even released. I guess it was a way to project confidence to the audience?? Or maybe just to get the production pipeline moving so there wouldn’t be 2+ years in between season releases.

Anyway, they did that with Halo…

You sure?? This Embracer Group seems like some smart young men, and they make a compelling offer. Can I at least sell them a beloved fantasy classic?? As a treat?

No, any business major could tell you they release the game, then lay everyone off and sell the IP for parts!

I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.

But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on… So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.

Whether or not the game needs this anti-cheat feature, players are still finding ways to give other players huge amounts of Samples (a grindable resource with limited amounts included in each mission) and spawn in unreleased equipment and stratagems.

So clearly the GameGuard isn’t as useful as it could be.

Not sure about this guys - not even Overwatch wants to be Overwatch right now…

From what I understand, it does not get kernel access on Linux. That’s why the game wouldn’t run the first couple of days. After they patched it, it just makes a web call and lets you play the game.

BG3 was in development for 6 years, had a huge budget, and a development studio with experience making RPGs.

You can’t expect a small, indie studio to match that when they’ve only had… Jesus 9 YEARS!!!

The Wheel of Time and licensing their IP rights to hack-frauds, name a more iconic duo.

Music, video games, comics, the Canadian TV pilot… I don’t like the Amazon show, but at least it was actually you know, produced.

I agree with the CEO, wait. It’s not worth getting right now.

…and if you don’t buy it, maybe I can get through the damn queue.

After the Helldivers 2 release Sony started talking about getting more aggressive with PC releases, so I think we’re going to see a lot less console only releases.

All the gameplay I saw on release did not look quality. It simply did not seem fun to play, you can hit all the feature check boxes, but if your game is just a bunch of blinding particle effects it’s going to get panned.

In the linked speech Swen says:

I also want to thank @Wizards_DnD and specifically the DnD team for giving us carte blanche. I’m really sorry to hear so many of you were let go. It’s a sad thing to realize that of the people who were in the original meeting room, there’s almost nobody left. I hope you all end up well

Penny Arcade also had a post yesterday about hearing from former WOTC team members who have been let go.

they probably can’t use the ZP aesthetic going forward.

Now I wouldn’t say that:

You just gotta squint a bit.

“Our goal remains tricking as many people as possible into wasting money on this skinner box.”
