I know the topic is prices increasing due to scarcity of parts, but Nintendo should have expected exactly that outcome when they started subsidising the Japan-only consoles with higher prices elsewhere…

And generally not very high quality.

Can’t slowly upgrade a PS5 into a PS6 though.

You can on PC.

Third the employees.

Reminder that Skyrim was made with a staff of ~300, that included revamping Gamebryo into Creation.

Devs with ~1000 devs using UE5 - what are the people even doing other than useless meetings?

We can dream, might be all we’ve got left soon.

Development of the arts is supposed to be for arts that could never stand on their own feet commercially though.

Game publishers shouldn’t ever be getting a cent.

Game developers shouldn’t either unless the game is released for free.

Regular slop, ground truth data structured slop

It all flows downhill.

Maybe the techbros will get the investment class to pay for Fusion within the decade?

I was going to say I haven’t held any nVidia bags in years, but then I spied my Switch 2.

Year of the Linux Desktop AGI Singularity.

I have no plans on buying any mods from Bethesda.

Why?

Because there is no guarantee of interoperability.

With mods from Nexus and friends, I have no expectation of compatibility between gratis mods made by people in their free time. (even though mod authors usually go to great pains to make sure they’re compatible with most anything that isn’t another mod doing the same thing)

If I’m paying for a ‘mod’ (really just DLC) - I expect a paid level of support.

If GenZ has a BS meter, it’s wired backwards.

Viralbility, memebility, social media and coop are the heart of it

So, ‘Authenticity’ really means ‘astroturfing’ in this context?

Not with that attitude Kif!

Assemble the men, we’re turning off clipping.

You’re right though, it’s a lot of cliff wall hugging or diverting to hidden valley.

There is a safe route through there though, multiple in fact.

That’s likely the next step, followed by removing all extensibility in the name of security (…of Google’s profits)

womp womp

I’ll preface by saying I don’t think it’s a good idea, but-

Fallout TV Show (and friends) have brought a lot of new people to gaming that might have eschewed it before, a lot of those people have no idea what they’re doing in videogames.

An ‘AI assistant’ could help in a face-saving way (consider a 60 year old father who’s never played, and possibly chastised games in the past, is now getting into Fallout NV due to the TV show - asking their kids that they ridiculed about games would be embarrassing, but asking an AI may not be)

Basically, letting old people who hated videogames, play videogames.

So it’s a “Game Key Disc”?

Well modding is out of the question then, so the game is a hard drop from me.
