The fuck he talking about? Obviously it has worked before. How else can you explain yearly COD releases making billions in revenue?
That it’s a losing strategy in the long term was always obvious, but get this: whomever’s in charge only cares about the numbers of the following quarter. That the company will go under in 10 years is literally not his problem, that’s the next schmoe’s problem.
Luckily EA hasn’t published anything I care about in over a decade. No big loss.
I don’t know what went wrong that such a patent was granted. I absolutely loathe IP people.
Someone got paid, guaranteed.
People need food. People need housing. People are freezing in winter and boiling in summer.

Thank god they can’t do shit to TPB and its ilk since those are already illegal anyway.
Just wait a year and they’ll throw them at you for free with another Samsung product because of overstock.
Does anyone know how core parking/scheduling is in Linux for 9950X3D cpus? AMD finally got it working near flawlessly in Windows, kinda don’t wanna give that up.
I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.
Needlessly intrusive. Can obviously be circumvented by cheaters anyway, so quite possibly superfluous. Apart from that it protects against the kinds of attacks that typically require physical access to the computer. If you have physical access you have full access anyway. Etc.
I love the Battlefield series but I’m not turning on Secure Boot for them. If it remains a hard requirement, I’ll simply be passing altogether.
Steam and Itch are both victims in this matter, their hands are tied. If the payment processors simply refuse to process any payments unless they comply, there’s no point in trying to put pressure on them. I’m pretty sure they were happy to take people’s money for these games and still would be, if they could so while saving face.
Steam is gonna look mighty empty if every game with violence is removed tho.
My line is these payment processors being judge, jury and executioner about what material they deem valid. So I am fundamentally opposed.
There are a few smaller EU payment processors. I’d love to see them move into the space Visa/Mc leave behind here but I’m not sure they are “big” enough for it.
First they came for the incest/rape games, which most people somewhat agree with (although the principle is still wrong) Next up is all nsfw games. After that, it’ll be mainstream and indie games altogether. This never stops with just one “victory” for these groups.
Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it’s entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.
Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.
Not afaik. You either allow it or not. Doing so selectively would require a lot more knowledge than I have.
As a workaround however, running a VM and using your browser from within that would seem like a decent-ish way to obtain similar results with minimal effort. You can use the hypervisor to set whatever limits you require.
Then they will always be useless as standalone trustworthy agents.
