  After the disaster that was Babylon’s Fall, yeah I can see it. Stupid ass CEO wanting to push live services and NFT games, ran out all the talent from the studio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard some queer friends talking about this game and I had no idea what it was. Now I know, and not only is this hilarious now I want to give it a try. It looks pretty cute.

  Splendid, that description seems like fun. I’ll try it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck off, Denuvo.

  Yes, the Steam forums are awful, but still. Fuck off. Nobody wants you here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t help when your scummy studio is infamous for it’s egregious DLC practices, nickel and diming basic game mechanics into a million separate packs. And then you have the gall to release a game as broken as that, after having the excellent prequel as comparison? And it’s still broken, a year after the initial release.

  Yeah you bet your ass that customers won’t be accepting of that.

  Oh wait, this isn’t the same Zoom of the video chats from the pandemic? I had no idea this store even existed. It having Linux support is a big plus now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This arcade space combat game is inspired by the golden age of "prestige anime"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool game, terrible article. The writer spends 60% of it just complaining about the voicecast and anime in general while saying he still watches anime in a second screen. Says he doesn’t care about the JP voice cast because he watches dubs, then immediately mentions that he doesn’t care about the English dubs voice actors either. Which is it, then? Why should anyone give a shit what he thinks after that? Smh, I’ll at least check the game out, I miss Star Fox.

  What about Grim Dawn?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking that L for the industry again, Peter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on Warframe?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I came here to type almost this exact comment, down to the number of hours played and money spent. And all that money I spent was on 50% off or higher discount tickets, too. Anyway, while I have gotten tired of the grind and quit a while ago because I didn’t gel much with the new systems introduced, it was still a great game I have many fond memories of playing.

  I was hyped for it until I noticed that Paradox picked up the publishing .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chocolate Doom 3.1.0 brings many new features for the classic source port⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhh, lovely! Finally the official release of this version, although I’ve already been using the pre-release for a while now. Works great with GUS emulation for that chunky MIDI.
