The fuck do they mean they will try?

“Oh no there’s no way we could possibly break out of these invisible shackles we put on ourselves”

Or more likely, they will just move the domain to be a generic TLD instead of a country code TLD, due to it’s popularity in the tech space.

Yeah, multiplayer is preferred in their data until the 45+ age ranges. Weird article.

Gee, I wonder fucking why Tim. What a clown.

A good game will sell itself though. How they spent 8 years on it, I don’t know.

I’m just not interested in any franchise because of this. LOTR is suffering from it a lot at the moment as every man and his dog is trying to cash in on the IP. That’s with tv shows and games too, it extends beyond just films for these franchises.

A lot of shit games still sell millions on the back of marketing, so for a game to sell as little as concord, it had to be a whole new level of shit along with shitty marketing.

Can we stop calling it AI?

Yeah, “kernel level anticheat” has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it’s better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.

No, not through Steam Families. Steam servers don’t host non-Steam games that you put in your library, it just launches the executable for you when you click play.

Who is to say it was at an address and not just sold/handed off in the street? They don’t just take the phones to a house and pile them up, they will be sold on through fences rapidly and if they can’t reset them to resell to someone, they get sold for parts (hence why this one ended up in China).

With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Realistically speaking, there isn’t enough personel or funds, so it isn’t worth attempting to chase the phone down. These phones move fast through fences, they aren’t just taken to one address and left there. The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

All the police can do is record any data they do get and compile it into a larger investigation with the hopes of attacking the head of the snake (but what even is that?).

To be fair, what are they supposed to do? The phone will be handed off a bunch of times within hours of it being stolen. You are not getting your phone back unless the thieves are caught in the act.

I’ve only played two of them and they worked just the same as any other game. You are putting words into my mouth now, I refuted every ‘hoop’ you listed, I never said ‘just deal with it’.

I could build a pc, give it to anyone and it would work in the same vein as a console. What is the point you are trying to make? That PCs have loads of issues? The consoles are flawless? Make sense.

They sell tens of millions.

I have no idea what you just said.

Most games you just click play and they work. You don’t need to install drivers or programs or whatever you think everytime at all.

If they release a dodgy patch or one you don’t like, you can just revert it. On console you are stuck with whatever they give you.

Don’t like a game after a couple hours? Doesn’t work correctly? Refund it.

Mainly its linux that will have issues you have to navigate and that is probably where most of the technical questions you come across root from. If you have Windows then 99% of games will just work as you expect.

Also Nintendo: They are $70. Want an old game? Also $70. Sales? What are those?

Consoles are such a scam when you think about it, but their low barrier to entry carries them (along with the marketing of course).

What’s the point of consoles getting more powerful? Shouldn’t affordability be the main target at this point?

Their main target audience is couch gaming on TVs, which are usually only 60Hz, something the PS5 and XSX can do comfortably.

They should make alien movies but not Alien movies. Try something new, leave Alien alone, they fuck it up everytime!

Crazy how people wanna gloss over issues just because they like something generally. I’ll never understand why people wouldn’t want a better product. Absolutely mental take too there at the end. Have a good one.
