@Matroska Brainwashed? For stating that an article about an uproar should give a basic description explaining the uproar? Funny you call me brainwashed while being a posterchild of groupthink with that attitude. All I said and it would go the other way too if this was an article that was 100% for NFTs without explaining any reason to love them, is to just state the ire in question on the uproar. Basic jouranlism. Unless you are preaching to a choir, aka groupthink
@Zebetite groupthink been around a long time, you might have limited experiences in life which may explain your take on it being some niche term. Regardless my categorization the article does a disservice to basic journalism to not include a short paragraph to why the uproar. The article assumes every reader is against NFTs with no further discussion.. aka groupthink
an article blowing up about NFTs with not one sentence about why these employees hate them or what the online bully hate towards them is. Sorry but an article shouldn't assume all readers are on some same groupthink wavelength
the problem with crafting to learn games is that you only have so many resources and you end up at a certain point saving the game and trying, then reloading, trying again, etc etc because getting rare ingredients are well, rare and people's time is even more rare.
@Paej13 I agree, it is a joy to be in this world. The game isn't designed to be super hard and the in game economy is really generous. It is like having fun at an amusement park with a few scary rides thrown in. Only wish the text chat dialog wasn't so stutter like. Click click click for each word it seems. Other games have done dialog much more easy on the brain. Like Fire Emblem or Octopath.
@ReaperMelia I don't really get the pay to win part. Yeah the gambling to get the characters you want because it is random is the trap. But they give you a lot for free and paying a little bit of money to boost things isn't terrible. I don't know much about the monthly game pass but seems like many companies have gone down that route in a way to keep fresh content going. I rather have a full game price and some DLC instead without the trickery so I do agree with you there.
@Dingelhopper If you play the game, you see how the town starts to integrate pokemon with them and how quirky it can be. It is the story side and not the core gameplay side.
@johnvboy I agree. Why didn't the writer of this article request a comment from the guy they named and dragged through the mud? Balanced reporting too hard? Seems they just copy pasted parts of Polygon's article?
also I've been around some lame QA teams that do nothing all week and then come Friday post all kinds of bugs to fix so they get weekend overtime pay when it could of been done during the week.
Toxic workplace articles never talk about crappy employees.
What kind of article is this? Complaints of a guy back in 2005--2007 who runs another place that former employees went to but this article yells toxic toxic toxic.
The point is you can mod but not use them in a way the IP rights holder doesn't want you to. Plastering videos on you tube is not something Nintendo is going to allow. Make a private access server and a mod club.
in the early days me and my gf got harassed by cops 5 times. Wonder if they just went after us because we were Team Instinct and was holding down all the gyms back when that was worth doing
@ElStormo You say they get 24 for every 100 stolen. That is wack data anyway. Why don't you steal anything else that you can't copy? Are you a wimp and scared of getting caught? Go steal gasoline or cash from a bank?
Why not? oh, you only steal when you feel you can get away with it but ignore that you are stealing from someone else effort. You don't care since you never create anything of value right?
You are just a lowly thief. I don't care if the company is rich or poor, you are stealing from creative people yet you probably have no problem telling people to pay all their taxes and fees to governments that are parasites and don't create anything of value.
If it is ok to not pay for games, music, etc, then it should be ok to not pay for ANYTHING correct? Now go and bury your head in more illogic to defend your lazy thieving ways.
It'll come out sooner than people think. They were going to just keep adding DLC but needed to make a few adjustments in the gameplay. That is to mean not a brand new game, just stuff that couldn't be in DLC. So the overall quality checking will be way lower than if making a brand new game from scratch. Whatever they don't have complete they'll box up for DLC so I feel an early summer release could happen
hope Nintendo takes his ideas and code and put it in the next game and don't give him any credit or money and then wait for the hypocrites that say pirating doesn't hurt try to say anything about it
me and my gf waited in line to get our Switches on day 1 and I also bought stock and let it ride for about $8000 gain as we just played Zelda the first year. I don't think I will ever spend $8000 on Switch gear and games so thanks Nintendo for a wonder system that paid me to play and enjoy.
@Crono1973 imagine not getting paid for your creation while people enjoy it. That is the endgame and yes this did happen widespread on PCs in the early days and killed most of cool gaming companies.
awwww you mean all the modern free to play garbageware isn't so great that we have so many people respect the good old days and pay a premium?
It's not worth it for Nintendo to do print runs of everything old so a few players can grab them in bargain bins. They protect their IP so maybe someday they bring it back the way they want to.
Nintendo only makes games so they have to protect their stuff more than the other companies.
Wise words from Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) about Hawaiian shirts: "How do you know the difference between a good one and a cheap one? The good ones match the pattern in the front when closed."
@Silly_G my idea of using an old 48 inch LCD tv as a pinball machine for the switch is still waiting to be made. Then all those cool pinball games can be played longways like they are suppose to
@dimi why illegal? go after the symptom instead of the cause? Maybe it should be illegal for governments to hand out trillions of money while at the same time hamperring production. Digital items can be mass produced indefinitely to mask inflation but not physical items which exposes reality.
@ALinkttPresent Lode Runner was a magnificent game on that system ... I think Lemmings came out around then too unless that was already in the Amiga years
My vast C64 collection was the only system I ever gave away.. did it when I moved on to an Amiga and gave to a friend of a friend to help them out. I pirated so many games back then that that was the game.. just aquiring everything. Now I never pirate anything since you should reward the devs for making something you enjoy and I hardly have the time to play the games I buy, let alone use up more time to pirate games that I would have even less time than without them
