Re: "I Can't Afford To Give It Away For Free" - Silksong's Low Price Is Causing Devs To Re-Evaluate Their Own Games

Like @UltimateOtaku91 says, it's a very different matter to make a a game guaranteed to sell millions than one trying to find a minority audience. That minority , together, will have to pay for the full price of development. The same applies to lots of different "limited edition" products. It's tricky, but it is what it is. Production costs must be covered somehow (if you're lucky).

Re: Atari And Choice Provisions' New Take On 'Breakout' Gets March Release Date

Most of these remakes and resurrections seem to be full of flashy effects that make it nearly impossible to focus on the gameplay. At least judging by the trailers - I find that so off-putting I never really try the games myself. Are they really as bad as they make them look? Can the effects be disabled at least? I’d be up for some brick-breaking!!

Re: Balatro Developer Calls Out 'PEGI' For Its "Weirdo" 18+ Rating

Unrelated, but I'm playing (and thoroughly enjoying) The Great Ace Attorney 2 (within Chronicles) and I'm flipping out that the game is PEGI 12, but USK 6! I mean, it's all about murders and corpses everywhere, graphics included. Every other piece of evidence has blood stains. There's a weird coroner who wants to dissect you alive for fun. I wouldn't want to leave this game anywhere near a 6 year old, German or otherwise...

Re: Book Review: An Unendorsed Anthology Of Club Nintendo - A Terrific Tribute Tome

Each game used to come with what, 100 points? So you needed to buy 150 original games for the freaking statue? I’m sick of people singing the praises of the old Club when the fact is that their prices in points were outrageous. You needed to buy like 20 games before you could get a keyring. With the new system, every single reward is accessible to anybody, and for silver points that you get for free. So what’s to complain about?!
