@PharoneTheGnome a good point about making a game independently. It's the same for Hollywood. I'd much rather work super hard on my own indie film than be a runner on some trash blockbuster. Like... if you join as a lackey, why expect to be director?
Seriously though... can employees not go to reporters with their issues about a company. Especially if they're still working there and are doing it secretly because they're "fearful of losing their job". If you don't like the place you're working at. Leave. It's the best and easiest way to show a manager you're unhappy. Rather than trashing the whole company and potentially destroying everyone else's job as well as your own. It's incredibly selfish and is not going to make anyone's situation better. Like I'm sorry if the situation is bad and I get that you want to share it. But this just makes things unpleasant for everyone. It's like having a mole in a spy organisation. Like seriously, why do it this way? Does anyone actually think this is an appropriate response to being mismanaged?
It's funny how when we think of investors we think of older people with no clue about gaming... but now most of us are these older people and the OG investors are dead
Is this one actually being developed by Yacht Club as opposed to Cyber Shadow? I would probably have passed on a GBC Zelda rip off if it wasn't being developed by these guys in house. Shovel Knight was just so full of love and care though. I trust this will be fantastic too
@DTFaux it would benefit me to be able to sell digital content as I would be able to make money back on digital purchases. Like being able to sell physical collectors items like amiibo etc. it depends if the NFTs have value to the consumer. If you don't think artwork has value you don't need to buy it. But NFTs have a lot of use cases and we're just scratching the surface. Artwork is just the simplest to understand right now. But you could buy for example the master file of a movie. Like owning the original print. That's crazy for collectors and would definitely be something sought after. It's just digital collecting. If you don't see the value in collecting pogs or bottle caps then that's fine. But some people enjoy it
@BTB20 no one's actually said what it's about. Almost as if no one sharing it has bothered to watch the two hours themselves. And you're sharing it with people who are not knowledgable so they will eat up anything this guy says. You can't rely on one person's opinion for information. Yes someone can do the research for you and make a video but you have no idea what his agenda is. People should find information from a variety of sources. Not simply one video with a heck of a lot of views. If a Justin Bieber song claimed the world was flat it wouldn't make it true
@BTB20 I've clicked on it about ten times because people keep sharing it. I'm just going to copy and paste here what I said to the last person who shared it because exactly the same applies here...
"I'm not going to watch some person's two hour opinion. If you want more people to know why NFTs are a bad thing then share the knowledge in a succinct manner. If it is the environment argument then there are blockchain technologies out there like Cardano that make this a non issue. And saying digital items have a worse carbon footprint than physical objects is completely irrational to me. I think people should look into the mass production of plastic physical collectibles and how bad they are, because I guarantee it is FAR worse"
@Richnj I'm not going to watch some person's two hour opinion. If you want more people to know why NFTs are a bad thing then share the knowledge in a succinct manner. If it is the environment argument then there are blockchain technologies out there like Cardano that make this a non issue. And saying digital items have a worse carbon footprint than physical objects is completely irrational to me. I think people should look into the mass production of plastic physical collectibles and how bad they are, because I guarantee it is FAR worse
It could be possible to make a MetroidVania game where you do not obtain upgrades at all and the game depends entirely on skill. You could progress and change the environment by flooding areas to allow you to reach high areas. Or gravity controls, turning on a bubble machine etc. I think this would be interesting to see
@Richnj I'm sorry but how is partnering with a company on an NFT project such a bad thing? And sure, no one forced him to do that. But no one forces him to do anything. What if he randomly decided to sell stuff on Etsy. Would he deserve abuse for that? Is he asking for it? How are you meant to know what can cause you to get abuse on twitter when completely harmless things will make people hate you.
And no, I have no idea what you are talking about or what those companies are...
@Richnj you disagree with me about the livelihood thing. That's all. Plenty of celebrities have been through the **** when they think their career is over. We're all just people. With strong emotions. Celebrities tend to have it worse. It takes a certain kind of person to get to that point. A need and desire to be loved. Not saying you should love people that need that but it's going to hurt more than most when you get thousands of randoms hating on you on twitter. Which would already destroy a "normal" person. As a celebrity you are forced to take it, why? Nobody deserves that level of abuse...
@SakuraHaruka Boycotting is bigger than NFTs at the moment. Boycott Warner Bros for destroying the Snyderverse. Boycott the Sonic the Hedgehog movie for making Sonic's eyes too small. Boycott Spotify for allowing someone to make a podcast about whether young people need the covid vaccine... Boycott Chris Pratt for... (I don't even know what the reason is for this one).
@kupocake I simply meant because you compared the adoption of NFTs to a "huge-scale ransomware attack". And also because you just referred to it as a bandwagon which I believe has negative connotations also. You may not have intended to express an opinion but it came across that way.
So am I right in thinking your opinion is that NFTs are bad because they get hated upon?
Dudes literally threatened to cancel him... this is why Snyder's Justice League was made. I'm a little sick of the toxic fan culture that threatens people's livelihoods just because you don't agree with something. Even right now if you look at the replies to his most recent tweet there are people saying "an apology isn't good enough". Like... wow... what the hell happened to people to make them so full of hate (oh yeah, a pandemic)
@Krysus I'm neither saying they're amazing nor am I saying they're a scam. They are just what they are. Not everything has to be so black and white. It's not "life changing technology" versus "total piece of **** scam".
This is what gets me, the extreme views, on EITHER side. There is nothing wrong with NFTs as a concept and I believe they can have some real use cases. People will buy NFTs of things they support. They won't for things they don't. So yeah there are people selling monkey avatars. But are they actually selling? Compare to Banksy selling an NFT. An actual artist. Again, you don't have to support them. But I'm glad some people out there are supporting artists.
Anyone can sell an NFT. Just like anyone can sell physical artwork. It's simply a means of distribution.
Seems a bit over the top to remove my comment but I'll write it again without the "childish" part if that's better for you guys.
Most people here are "flaming/arguing" both the company and people who are into the NFT scene by saying "**** these guys and shove their NFTs". So I responded to that.
Here's the watered down version:
Nobody cares if you want to boycott a company for unjust reasons. You don't need to tell everyone.
@andykara2003 geforce now performs the best and has a lot of customisation. It used to be the best one. But unfortunately the game selection has been reduced massively. Last I checked it has most of the ubisoft library though and plenty of indies. It used to be that you could play your entire steam library but that was only when the service was in beta. Admittedly I haven't checked it in a while but last I checked I was kinda disappointed. Plus it only lets you play games you already own so it's kinda dumb that it doesn't let you play everything now. It does let you use the service for free though for two hours at a time so that's a big plus.
Xbox cloud is what I use now, as it has the better selection of games (Gears of War, Halo, Doom, Psychonauts etc.) but it doesn't perform as well. And there's no customisation. (Geforce now lets you choose resolution and framerate depending on your internet connection for a silky smooth experience). There's no free option but you don't have to buy the games so you get a LOT for your money.
Stadia has a really poor selection of games so I didn't even bother with that one
@andykara2003 also, I'd like to consider myself hardcore casual haha. I'm a hardcore gamer, been playing since the NES and have played almost every Nintendo game. But I don't freak out about PC master race and playing with high refresh rate monitors and the like, so in that regard I'm "casual".
Edit: I do play with game mode on of course, I was just trying to make a comparison
@andykara2003 I mean I guess with the more post processing TVs kept adding the situation got worse. But at the beginning of HD TVs people didn't even know what game mode was and it also probably didn't even exist on TVs at the time. I was kind of referring to then rather than how it is now. The input latency with cloud gaming is actually pretty decent. As I said, I was able to play Psychonauts 2 which has platforming sections. Platforming is some of the hardest to deal with when it comes to input latency and I didn't even notice an issue. It's not perfect but it's a lot better than you'd expect
@BulkSlash why would that be the future? I remember when 3D gaming started and I thought it looked so ugly compared to the SNES. It felt like a huge step backwards... but now look at where we are! Cloud gaming is new technology in its infancy. It has a ways to go but it will get there. Internet speeds have been getting faster and faster
What I find interesting is that one of the main criticisms of cloud gaming is that you can't play everywhere... I feel I should remind people that back in the day you needed access to a TV to play your games. Imagine criticising mobile phones because not everywhere has network coverage...
@noobish_hat cloud gaming is more than that. In a world where we do have a constantly reliable connection. When we have 5G and the like. It will be a wonder. Games take up no storage, they don't require big bulky devices, and you can run them at the highest quality settings at 60fps. The input latency isn't even as bad as playing with an HDMI cable without game mode on. And people actually still play like that. Like yeah these games could be on the system but I'd rather not download a 50GB game when I could just stream it.
@CharlieGirl What exactly don't you like about it? As things currently stand we have no way of reselling digital copies of games. With NFT technology we could do that. We could use the technology to lend people digital games like you would a physical copy. It makes the proof of ownership so much easier.
And cloud gaming works, it DOES work. Maybe not so much on the switch but if Nintendo designed a console with it in mind it would work wonders. I've been able to play games I never otherwise would unless I spent the money on an xbox. I played Psychonauts 2 on my macbook with a Nintendo pro controller. It was amazing. I'd have completely missed out on the chance to play that game if it wasn't for cloud gaming.
And don't misappropriate Prince quotes just because you don't understand the technology.
... so a quick google search shows she is completely wrong and Link has his arrow on the other side of the bow. Perhaps she is mixing up BOTW Link with previous Links who were left handed? I suppose it's easier to believe the professional if they say it with another assertion. But I'd argue we are professionals; professional Nintendo fans
And @KateGray I hope you don't think I've been actively out to get you in articles. Someone here said that and I hope you don't feel that way also. It has never been my intention and I don't have any personal issue with you at all. And I'll try to keep in mind in future that my comments can be perceived that way. I really only @ mentioned you in this article because you happened to be the writer of this particular article. And I know there was that "clickbait" thing the other day but it was only that the headline bothered me and you did promptly fix it and I really appreciated that.
@Astral-Grain I genuinely feared the website was under new management or something because the content felt different. Those concerns have been washed away thanks to @antdickens
I think things will be better from now on. I'll be less concerned about the future of this website now that I know nothing is really changing. That thought got into my head from exchanges I had with others so it did become a genuine concern.
Definitely up for a group hug. Have a good weekend everyone!
@Astral-Grain I come here for Nintendo news, for "press releases" apparently. Which has been misattributed to me when @Damo was the one who said it. I expressed my views on what I'd like to see from a Nintendo news website. And had no intention of insulting anyone. Others were a little less polite me and I agreed with their sentiment but not their words. Can you kindly stop going for my jugular, thank you
@CharlieGirl I'm sorry but this is completely incorrect. The issue was closed after Ant's comment to me. It had ended. Then a group of you started attacking me. And I really don't know why. I've literally put an apology in every comment since and you're still doing it. There's nothing more I can say
@Damo the intent was insulting. The "highlights" and having to "put up with these comments". That is what I found to be insulting. You can decide it's not insulting but that's because you're not on the other end of it. It was insulting and upsetting. And I only checked her twitter to see it after I got random continued attacks on here like I had done something awful. I felt I was missing a part of a puzzle and I still feel that way. I genuinely don't know what is happening here but other commenters are putting words into my mouth. What did I do?
@Astral-Grain dude! I don't just call her out. I've called out many of the staff here. The comments are for expressing your opinion and that's what I've been doing. If I've offended anyone I apologise but why are you coming at me like this?
Ant addressed my concerns and I appreciated it greatly. I've said nothing untoward in this whole thread that I'm aware. My intention was not to make anyone's lives more difficult. I only comment on threads that I have an issue with. I come on here daily. Kate posts here all the time. If I had issue with all her content I would have posted on all her content. I have no issue with her and I like a lot of the stuff she posts here. I don't know what you're seeing but it's not what I'm seeing.

@Damo thank you. Gosh, sorry, I don't know what happened here
Re: Devs Speak Out Against Crunch Culture At LEGO Star Wars Developer TT Games
@Astral-Grain I come here for Nintendo news, for "press releases" apparently. Which has been misattributed to me when @Damo was the one who said it. I expressed my views on what I'd like to see from a Nintendo news website. And had no intention of insulting anyone. Others were a little less polite me and I agreed with their sentiment but not their words. Can you kindly stop going for my jugular, thank you
Re: Devs Speak Out Against Crunch Culture At LEGO Star Wars Developer TT Games
@CharlieGirl I'm sorry but this is completely incorrect. The issue was closed after Ant's comment to me. It had ended. Then a group of you started attacking me. And I really don't know why. I've literally put an apology in every comment since and you're still doing it. There's nothing more I can say
@Damo the intent was insulting. The "highlights" and having to "put up with these comments". That is what I found to be insulting. You can decide it's not insulting but that's because you're not on the other end of it. It was insulting and upsetting. And I only checked her twitter to see it after I got random continued attacks on here like I had done something awful. I felt I was missing a part of a puzzle and I still feel that way. I genuinely don't know what is happening here but other commenters are putting words into my mouth. What did I do?
Re: Devs Speak Out Against Crunch Culture At LEGO Star Wars Developer TT Games
@Astral-Grain dude! I don't just call her out. I've called out many of the staff here. The comments are for expressing your opinion and that's what I've been doing. If I've offended anyone I apologise but why are you coming at me like this?
Ant addressed my concerns and I appreciated it greatly. I've said nothing untoward in this whole thread that I'm aware. My intention was not to make anyone's lives more difficult. I only comment on threads that I have an issue with. I come on here daily. Kate posts here all the time. If I had issue with all her content I would have posted on all her content. I have no issue with her and I like a lot of the stuff she posts here. I don't know what you're seeing but it's not what I'm seeing.
