Despite the article talking about crashes, that outfit from Threads really makes me want to play!

I was semi-joking, but I also didn’t click the link.

Bro, no-one’s clicking a link with “spyware” in the URL.

I think generally the majority of developers do think like this. They’re normally the ones passionate about good games and see fads and trends for what they are. Unfortunately it is not usually these developers in control of major decisions or greenlighting projects at [large] games studios. Even less so at publishers.

Leaving the EU was a major problem. All game developers in other EU countries pull from all over the EU for their talent pool, but that’s much harder for the UK now.

So you mean to say you can play on all iOS devices?

Very true. Unfortunately being a satire doesn’t seem to protect anything from becoming a reality anymore. The Onion is news. Idiocracy is morphing into documentary territory.

Also, it’s yet another hero shooter. Have we not moved onto another trend yet?

I understand that it’s a believable, yet wild conspiracy theory. I also think it’s a stretch for the man who wrote and directed a movie with that exact situation as a plot point to be calling it deranged. It’s obliviously not that farfetched seeing as he wrote a movie with the concept.

Good to see. I really enjoyed the demo and have it wishlisted. Poor choice of release date in my opinion though. I was never going to be prepared to buy a full price game the day after the Steam Sale finished.

I don’t understand his point. He’s saying the engine was not built for shooters, but wasn’t the engine first used in The Division? I would describe that as a shooter.

But who is going to implement the AI policy? I thought they sacked everyone.

This article makes me wonder if it was becoming insanely expensive to produce. It always seemed like an expensive choice to sign Rod Humble to make his own studio from scratch in California. They are probably very glad to get that off the expenses.

Love me some Science Data. Much better than that Normie Data you get everywhere.

I’m very surprised by the discourse in this thread. I understand that people were given lots of warning, but that doesn’t excuse that they just had their purchase recinded. Why not just allow download of an old version of Minecraft Java still?

I’d consider myself a Microsoft fanboy as I’ve had Xbox live for nearly 2 decades and Game Pass since it came into existence. Removing people’s purchases for any reason is a scummy move.

What a weird article. When I think of hybrid I immediately think that means hybrid working model (some days in office some from home).

Having studios in two different countries working together doesn’t feel like a remarkable feat in this day and age and worldwide collaboration is pretty much the norm in any sizable developer.

Whatever game they end up putting out, it’s going to be Disco Elysium in name only and I hope it doesn’t fool anyone into buying it.

As other comments have said, they aren’t even doing game streaming, just mobile games. You can already download mobile games through heir app on a phone with a subscription.

And Steam didn’t really fail, it excels at streaming games around a network. Xbox games can all be streamed with game pass and its pretty good.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a new Destiny expansion. Worth a watch though, could be an interesting co-op game.

Got to at least make it look like a finished product so you can write the tax off!
