I mean, that’s basically all AAA games in 2024. Even songs PC ports which historically avoided DRM and network requirements is starting to mandate PSN accounts. I 100% would prefer to be able to play offline, more often than not it’s unwanted telemetry or BS bloat but that isn’t something we as users can enforce.
I’m so tired of this trope :/.
Tbf one piece is basically 10 minutes (or less) per episode padded to 20 and with an opening.
I think everyone collectively agrees hiatus > padded content. I stopped watching around whole cake island because episodes we’re going a quarter chapter. I’m glad their finally starting to see this, I’m guessing the previous approach was starting to lose viewership or just not be as profitable as it used to be.
Eh, the manga is still gorgeous. Recommend checking it out if anyone’s disappointed.
So games sold on storefronts owned by the same publishers as the game should be 30% cheaper right? Right?
I’m aware but last I checked the adaptive triggers and some haptic were unsupported. Was asking if that’s supported now or not.
S.N. not sure why you’re being downvoted.
How’s the dualsense running on Linux? I opted for Xbox elite purely because I thought it’d have better support for the back pads but still not over bluetooth :-(.
This is absurd. Where’s the step to grow a beard and become a hobbit?
How was it bad for epic? They would’ve made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.
It sucks we have to vote on people instead of policies.
Honestly, is this true? How do you keep on top of content you actually wanna watch? I’m not sure since when but youtube recommendations have gone so downhill and a lot of the content creators I used to like don’t release as much as they used to so even when I wanna browse YouTube there isn’t anything I wanna see.
Preach. 1080p looks like dogsh*t now and they’ve been rolling out a premium only enhanced bitrate option. Yet another case of ruin what’s good to sell what everyone already had.
Blame the publishers then. They set the price and they dictate the bonuses of the devs based on sales. Choosing to believe more money from the game store is actually making its way to devs instead of shareholders is naive at best.
This argument about cost of development would hold more weight if the game store savings were passed onto the users rather than just eaten up by the publishers. Borderlands 3 base game has the exact same price on steam vs EGS atm, £49.99. Clearly those 20% savings are just extra money the publisher wants to pocket rather than actual necessary costs to the game. If their happy to pass it off to steam when sold on the steam platform rather than raise the price to recoup the platform tax.
It’s false equivalence to claim steam has a monopoly when you’re literally giving epic a monopoly on your games for financial kickbacks between yourselves that in the best case doesn’t impact the user and worst case actively compells them to a much worse platform. What epic and gearbox did is monopolistic, what steam did is just make a good enough product that no one gives a sh*t about EGS. If you want an actual competitive store front, make something your users want, not your business partners. Gog is struggling but it’s still my first goto for games because even if it’s missing all of steams functionality, it gives me ownership of games that can’t just be revoked or broken by publishers. That’s a value add I’m willing to pay for. Paying more so publishers can make more money and sell a worse experience through EGS ain’t moving me.
SteamOS isnt really open given its got a whole bunch of unreleased patched open source software (probably in violation of Foss licenses) but always good to have more linux friendly handhelds.
the company assured fans that they are currently working to remove the leaked content from the internet.
Is this something fans actually want? I guess maybe to avoid spoilers but I couldn’t care less this got leaked. From what I’ve heard quality is pretty bad so I wasn’t gonna out of my way to search for it anyway.
I would imagine it would reveal how sh*tty the ubisoft code bases are and has a reputation cost XD. But if it’s that big of a risk then they should keep the servers running indefinitely.
