“The team is heads down,” Huckaby said. “We drew a line in the sand when we said 2026. I don’t know if we’re going to make it, I just know that we’re going to do every single thing possible to make it. And part of that is not taking time for the distraction of CitizenCon.”

That means they already know they are not going to make it. Otherwise why say this more than one year before?

When parents actually start doing things to change the world! Instead of complaining online!! YEAH !!!

During a Q&A session following Sony’s latest financial results, Tao said that despite the negativity surrounding Sony’s live service offerings thanks to the issues with Concord and Marathon, she still believes live service games are worthwhile because they’ve added a revenue stream that didn’t exist for the company five years ago.

so they learnt nothing…

This is actually the new big thing in China but I am not convinced it make economic sense (yet).

Is drone really much faster than transportation we have now? Remember drones flying safely require a pilot too.

Talking about lost feature, I feel like like less modern games like to give their players a comprehensive map.

It used to be that map is a basic feature in games that involve any kind of navigation but nowadays some games just…don’t?

It depends on the game. I still like Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2.

(I just realize that the link posted by OP is a 2017 article)

Of course. I agree that cost benefit ratio needs to be considered. I also agree that in some cases low speed rail already suffice, but is it the argument they are making? I can’t read the article despite I want to because there is a paywall.

Already seeing backlash from the gatekeeping league community. LoL is losing out to newer games partly because of the unintuitive control scheme.

When even Street Fighter is innovating despite the FGC’s reluctance, League needs to evolve or will be slowly left behind.

Why do we have to consider public transport “a waste of money” when they are not being run as a business???

China considers HSR a public good! They are meant to give convenient transport to everyone!

Also, do people realize road maintenance takes a lot of money too? Should governments stop doing that because they don’t make money?

FXXK this everything has to make money attitude of neoliberliasm!

I used to think education help people make right choice. I am rethinking that position now.

I hope they all started listening to AI for their life choice. Will be interesting

People immediately knew how internet could help us even during the dot com bubble. Anyone who had used Google (or before that, Yahoo) would immediately fall in love with them with how they help their live. AI (LLM)? Not so.

Huh? This is good news for the kids. I have seen too many kids sticking to their iPads all the time.

Unfortunate, but considering that the PS4 is more than a decade old, I suppose supporting that platform must be a pain for the developers.

Also my guess is that new competitor from Kuro games is beating Genshin on the graphic front and Mihoyo wants to up their game.

Please just boot out Meta out of EU to make lives better

Watching the Twitter video from the guy, this just feels so creepy…

Its really not just a few people, its the system of neoliberalism that incentivised these behaviours.

With strong, common sense regulation, the internet would have been a much better place instead of the hell hole we have now.

This is so relatable… The one good thing about pre-internet is that you can really just be away and don’t need to respond to anyone.

Lol at so called rule of law that only benefits the rich

Probably priority? They have a tight deadline and skipping cut scenes is not a priority feature.

I have also seen game where dev deliberately ignore call for adding a skip scene button because they want their players to read the story. You can disagree with it but maybe the dev really think their cut scene is worth watching. That doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t play games, its just that they have high pride in their work.

I know the above is a controversial take. But I have no problem watching cut scenes if that is the dev’s intention.
