Too bad it’s made by Ubisoft.

Why are they insisting on this PSN madness? They make themselves look like complete idiots.

Don’t worry, the guillotines won’t be necessary. Sam Altman will create a universal income to keep the poor from any violent urges. Of cause that income is paid in some crypto coin and requires you to scan your eyes in some orb and happens to make Sam Altman rich, because he founded this coin.

Who knows, maybe you can by micro transactions with worldcoins in the future.

I will never understand why Pokémon fans keep buying thee very mid games.

How does that help shareholders? Democracy is when shareholders get richer! Something something pension funds and trickle down economics.

We need a second Gollum game.

If it’s possible, it might be some proprietary version that games can’t run without.

They will probably use some version of DLSS that’s hard to emulate.

Should we really pollute Lemmy with AI spambots? What’s even the point of humans taking time to interview, research and write a text if some soulless bot is just going to reduce the text to some key points.

If anyone really wants to play a Ubisoft game, just wait. You’ll get less bugs for a way better price. There is never any reason to buy a Ubisoft game at lunch.

That’s true, but you can install games outside of Steam on a SteamDeck. You are not forced to give Valve money for game sales. It’s not a walled garden.

Are we forever stuck on 30 fps?

That would be a classic Microsoft move.

Microsoft… always two steps behind. They always just wait for someone else to demonstrate a successful idea, and then use their deep pockets to buy a piece of the pie.

It requires a Netflix subscription. That’s too bad.

I would rather spend that money to upgrade my PC. Sony releases all the good stuff on steam anyway.

Humans just like familiar faces. We are simple like that.

Pokémon is really a master class in how you can sell a terrible product with enough advertising and strong branding. It doesn’t matter that Pokemon games are terrible, fans are so into the brand that they will keep buying it.

I disagree. A Switch Lite is much better for a 6 year old than a big and clunky Steam Deck. I own a Steam Deck. It’s a fine device. But Nintendo works with their own hardware. I’m not even sure we would have a Steam Deck if Nintendo didn’t make the Switch and showed how much demand there is for dedicated handheld devices. Also Nintendo is better at taking risk with hardware designs than Sony and Microsoft. Other consoles makers just keep making the same box, just a bit better every generation. If anything Sony and Microsoft should just give up their hardware, and make PC games. Nintendo at least take some risk and try to do something different on the hardware front.

Well that’s why they need to hire the original writers. I don’t think anybody would consider Baldurs Gate especially political, maybe expect for a few fringe right wingers. But Larian have the resources, technical expertise and know how to build a big RPG and if they bought the IP, I’m sure they would respect the source material. You wouldn’t want to make a Disco Elysium game if you where to afraid to get political.
