Wonder if they regret having used that development time on Starfield instead of a new Fallout, because with this renewed interest due to the show a Fallout 5 would have done ridiculously well

And we have been paying for it ever since. They will never make that mistake again lol.

When I go back to read the stuff I write I think mostly “damn that guy sounds like a psycho”

The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies

I wonder if I’ll be even worse in this one

orb dude doesn’t seem to be in it so that’s already a huge problem for me

when you get a god run with a good synergetic build this game is insanely satisfying

I know that’s probably true but it sure as hell doesn’t feel like it aaaarrrgh

Fuck this game, it has damaged my psyche

The amount of times that I had like a 70% chance of drawing what I needed in the last discard alone and didn’t, or the amount of times that I had a beautiful synergized build and a boss that disables it appeared by “coincidence”, argh.

Yet I can’t stop playing it

excuse me they are scarlet rot swamps now, it’s a totally different thing

gives me time to get a character ready, also it’s not like there aren’t a gazillion good games to play right now, there’s no hurry

Makes sense, it’s now or never probably. IGN is 100% a “content volume over content quality” type of company, the type that would replace a lot of the writing and editorial staff with AI as soon as it became a half-decent alternative. So might as well put pressure on them and exercise bargaining power to get some guarantees while you still have leverage and they still need you.

deserved, they had brutal expectations to live up to but somehow delivered

Music licensing shenanigans strike once again.

The evergreen digital market of today is just incompatible with the practices established back when stuff was sold in boxes and only expected to sell for 5-8 years, and every now and then we get a reminder of what happens when they don’t mesh.

Thankfully GoG was still selling it and discounted it massively to allow more people to preserve it.

We could have had the CoD take on those parts of For All Mankind?

And they cancelled it?

Are you kidding me?!

look they were on a refugee caravan I doubt there were top notch ingredients give a gal a break jeez

They really need to create some more variant tags, only Super, Ti, and Super Ti, really? Where are Ultra, Legendary, and Co? As it is, they don’t have enough to cover every 5$ rung in pricing! Unacceptable!

is definitely “while” in the context of the interview

Sounds pretty fucking good to me Yoshida-san

Good that they have fully understood that the few console purchases cannibalized by releasing their games on other platforms are significantly outweighted by the much more significant amount of people that would not be willing to get a PS, but would still want to buy the games.

Based on how many titles in the past have pulled off the “launch in Early Access, grab a lot of money in the early hype, disappear” strategy, I have to imagine something like that was the intention.
They probably assumed that there would be a big enough pool of naive fools that would believe in the game for just long enough to get away with launching a below minimum viable product and cashing out once the reasonable refund window was surpassed. And, considering that they were the best performer in Steam for a hot minute, you can’t blame them for thinking that.
They just overestimated how much they could get away. Which, considering how much some other titles have gotten away with in the past, is saying a lot.

Legit the biggest, most transparent, most obvious, most blatant scam I’ve seen in the 25+ years I’ve been playing videogames.

If you bought into this game or believed in it at any point, you should not go anywhere without wearing oven mitts and arm floaties.
