Peter Molyneux is Elon Musk. “I had a revolutionary idea! However, I did something cheaper and easier based on existing functionality. I’ll take that money now.”
@Bobobiwan when you give people multiple options they buy less because they know they always can “one day” - it’s a weird psychological thing that hurts profits (note: i think it’s weak and I don’t care about profits, but that’s why)
@GameOtaku lmao no I agree with you - I was lamenting - I love that tweet that was like “I want shorter uglier games where programmers are paid more and I’m not kidding”
Being mean to individual developers is terrible, yes.
Rockstar the organization and management is bad, I work in software and I’m sure that nobody was PROUD of the bad project, regardless of if they were l*zy or not
@NRLPLSTCTY Dark Souls actually launched on sale for some reason - I picked it up for $24.99 then it went up to $39 a week later - usually those kind of prints have a limited run (for example, you never see DOOM, Wolfenstein, Bayonetta physical in stores) so I assume they’re trying to just sell through
@r0mer0 i agree with the sentiment in general but also bought Metroid Dread day 1 and was thrilled by it, and pre-ordered Outer Worlds and somehow 100%’d the game without running into any of the issues I read about in all the reviews
@carlos82 i feel like most games are pass/fail now within the gaming community - everything always needs to be BRILLIANT or an ABOMINATION - I like the grey areas and enjoy some imperfections or AA games and when I recommend them to people they act like I’m crazy
@stipey check out Hypnospace Outlaw - that’s al cursor and it runs great on the Switch (and is an awesome game - you play the admin of a late 90’s era geocities type community)
@BloodNinja Zeke’s water gun, 3D glasses, soundtrack, 3D comic, trading cards, and the game OFC. - probably some other stuff I forgot (I always played as Julie, but PS4 got the Julie gun)
@shred5 oh yeah I’m fully aware this is full on boujee American white male complaining - I work in software and the things that can slow anything down can be minute but impactful.
Even though we’re talking about greater supply chain setups, I love the joke that the Dead by Daylight team made:
99 bugs in the code on the wall, 99 bugs in the code.
You take one down, and pass it around, 107 bugs in the code on the wall???????
@shred5 I get it but also WISH i was faster - like ZAMN is my favorite video game of all time and I gave then $110 back in June and now I’m just waiting and waiting and waiting 🥺
@BloodNinja I’m still waiting patiently for my huge Zombies Ate My Neighbors box that should be shipping “soon” since they’re already a month late by their own estimates
@Snaplocket i just remember when the switch was announced they said they were going to push it for 10 years, and within 18 months everybody was anticipating and trying to Predict the next console
@chiimaero i’m glad I’m not a gearhead because I absolutely love my Switch and it’s the first console to top SNES for me, and I have no complaints about the performance or the chips because ignorance is bliss

Re: GTA Trilogy's Physical Edition For Switch Has Been Delayed, Will Now Arrive In "Early 2022"
@JoeSooper not getting your hopes up is a wise choice, because they definitely ain’t
Re: GTA Trilogy's Physical Edition For Switch Has Been Delayed, Will Now Arrive In "Early 2022"
@Aezetz the fact that it’s delayed means they’re fixing bugs in a day 1 patch so

@Ocaz you know better than that

@mikegamer oh heck no, solidarity forever, this is a Rockstar management issue I just want all attacks focused at the top of the pyramid
Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
@mikegamer lmao no complain, boycott, refund away.
I will never defend a poor product destroyed by greed and corporate indifference
Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
@GameOtaku always remember that USBs aren’t two sided because it was a fraction of a penny cheaper.
All games could be physical if profit didn’t exceed experience to shareholders

@SpaceboyScreams uh yeah the PS4 still regularly outsells the PS5

@Specter_of-the_OLED the free aiming feature for jumping and shooting wouldn’t work well on the D Pad tho

@Clyde_Radcliffe is it pronounced to rhyme with WING or HINGE? (In the US we say whining, which is WINE not WYNN)
Re: Stonks-9800: Stock Market Simulator Launches On Nintendo Switch In 2022

@Stocksy “almost certainly protect yourself from losses if” is the antithesis of “you will make money”
Re: Feature: "The eShop Is Just Way Too Slow" - Deku Deals Creator On Nintendo's Switch Storefront
@Burning_Spear it was on the Virtual Console tho
Re: Feature: "The eShop Is Just Way Too Slow" - Deku Deals Creator On Nintendo's Switch Storefront
@Burning_Spear the Wii eshop sucked because Pac Man was $5 and Ms. Pac Man was $20.
I know that has nothing to do with UX or UI but I hold this truth to be self-evident
