Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing

Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.

Yeah, that’s not what happened here.

You believe some forms of art shouldn’t exist at all just because a small percentage of people can’t experience it? Watercolor as an art form should be abolished? Music without strong bass shouldn’t be allowed? All paintings must incorporate strong textures?

Absolutely wild.

You gave lots of examples that accommodate these disabilities, and that’s awesome and obviously I support that!

What you aren’t arguing for anywhere in this comment is that every artist be required to do these things. Somehow game developers are exempt from this grace? You called out watercolor but don’t appear to be angry at watercolor artists like you are at game developers. Why are all games required to accommodate all people, but other art isn’t? Why is that where your line is drawn?

Video games are the only art medium where people find it acceptable to gate-keep the art from the unskilled or the disabled.

Yes, deaf people are famously well-accomodated by music, and paintings are always very accessible to the blind. Games are the first medium to ever be inaccessible to people.

Don’t want the game to be too easy? Don’t fucking turn down the difficulty. Saying “I don’t want the game to be easier” is really just saying “I know I don’t have any self-control, and would inevitably turn down the difficulty when I hit a roadblock.”

You’re complaining about players opinions, but I’m saying the artist is not required to sacrifice their vision for accessibility reasons. Not all art is for everyone, and that’s fine. You don’t have to play every game.

But my artistic integrity and vision!"

No, shut up. Your vision doesn’t mean squat if my experience with the game is annoying to the point where I don’t even care

Nah, miss me with this bullshit. Not every game is for you, and it doesn’t have to be. An artist is not required to water down their vision because you’re picky.

How on Earth did Death Stranding get 7 nominations? Crazy

People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

looool, because a 50% price increase wasn’t bad enough. Has anyone not cancelled yet?

Ooooo, good to hear! I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away until full release. It was definitely good then, so I’m excited to see what it has turned into now.

I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

Also, Android allows real browsers. Firefox and browser extensions.

iOS has allowed non-Safari browsers for close to a decade, now. Otherwise I mostly agree

I’m sure most of them are actually retired, but all? No chance

Eventually these corporations undergo trial by anti trust as their influence becomes increasingly toxic e.g. Google.

lol, feel free to let me know when any actual consequences come from that

The market has also increased 1000-times over, while simultaneously removing physical barriers entirely. The development itself is more expensive, sure, but distribution is way cheaper and the potential gains have increased at a much quicker rate, especially for smaller games.

But even then it’s astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced

It’s not unlikely, it’s literally impossible.

Did plex do something again

That. The content of the screenshot you posted. That is what’s going on.
