Sony has a history of being terrible with security.

They literally built malware two decades ago.

Ubisoft did that too for a while, forcing Ubisoft logins. And they’re continuing to lose staff and shut down games.

Nice! It’s in the Humble Bundle and in my wishlist!

I didn’t upvote or downvote.

Your opinion is valid. I think some parts could be reworked. I see what you’re saying, but how you’re saying it is what is rubbing people the wrong way.

Honestly, I like these opinion posts, because even if I’m a fanboy, I might agree with certain things.

Secondly I don’t blame devs for not beeing active on social media with the community. Especially when your game is rather small this task can be really mentally exhausting and we all know how easily people get toxic on the Internet.

I took fault with that as well.

I am a developer who makes games on the side. I mostly do gamejams and release games on itch.io. It’s a pretty positive community.

But I did get one comment (only one) that some troll told me to stick to my day job. Like I am? I do this to create art and fun, and make bank working a boring software job. I put all my passion into making this game in a short gamejam window.

I know some fans love reading about “the struggle”. They see the developer eating ramen and crunching 160 hours as passion. To me, that’s abuse. Because survivors bias, there are people with 100x the passion but their game doesn’t sell.

Everyone who puts out a game is doing it for different reasons. You have no idea if the dev team was crunching late hours while their child was dying from cancer. Or if they were coding this on their golden yacht using AI bots. To judge them because they don’t share that as not having passion?

It’s a toxic metric and would strongly recommend removing it.

7/10 doesn’t mean it sucks. Just means adequate.

I played the Division 2, Ac Valhalla and FarCry 6 for 100+ hours. They helped me during the worse times of the pandemic.

But if I was talking to friends or making recommendations, we’d be taking about games that are better than that. The Elden Rings or the Ghost of Tsushima

In my area, it’s a 100-150% increase in four years.

It doesn’t sound like much until you see numbers.

A $350k house is now $700k for no reason.

A $400k house is now a million.

It’s depressing.

Ubisoft games have such a weird “design by committee” feel to it. Like they poll the internet every few weeks and make decisions off of that. New hot game has battle pass? WE HAVE BATTLE PASS.

They also seem to follow a checklist of mediocrity. Every game needs a dozen collectable items. Every game needs to have the same l types of quests that GTA3 had. Every game has to have a massive open world. Every game needs a online component and live service. Every game needs a incredible hook, which then they Marvel-safe it to avoid offending online babies.

Their games come off with 7/10 energy. Ubisoft games don’t move the needle. They’re pretty adequate as a game. But when I have thousands of games to choose from every year… Ill pass.

Polish isn’t going to help change the Ubisoft reputation of churning same looking games filled with massive bloaty copy-paste open worlds where you do generic fetch quests, collect hundreds of feathers, and watch watered down PG-13 storytelling that’s tamer than a Marvel movie.

NFTs. I’m so glad it died so quickly. What a scam.

Can’t wait to see Ubisoft’s first AI only game.

Apparently my company was sending non-anonymized user data and during a privacy audit by a legal company, they really gave us a threat of being sued up the ass. And we are a MASSIVE company. I can only imagine smaller companies not realizing that.

That just happened to me!

How silly of me not to know that.

It’s just us and our 399 partners.

What if you’re already gay?

(pushes gay button)

Your total comes to: 2 gays, a bisexual, and a asexual. If you’re out of asexuals, I can consider a intersexed.

I used to be like you, laughing and enjoying life.

The new director of technology we just hired a few months ago flexed about how he’s now hit 6-digit donations to Star Citizen. It’s still early and he hasn’t shown any results, but if he’s following the Star Citizen path of growth, my department is fucked.

I don’t know about you but content has gotten better for me.

Ranma 1/2, Squid Games, Super Mario Bros Movie, new season of Arcane. I felt like every 1-2 months, there was always something interesting.

Also note that I don’t pay for Netflix. I do own stock.

BUY MORE NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTIONS…

Yes. It’s officially a real name that they’re infringing and could cause confusion.

It’s so dumb. ID has historically been pretty lax with what modders do. You can literally name your mod anything but something copyrighted. And the modders decided to do that.

The sign isn’t for us who knows women are people.

It’s for a percentage of people who don’t realize when they are vote Republican and their many anti-women policies – it affects their mothers, sisters, daughters, etc.

We were once Pokemon?

We… Could have been the ones in pokeballs?

We could have… Mated with them?
