Now playable: Flatout 3

Aww yiss, I have been waiting for this. It’s finally playable first time since relase.

Just imagine how much worse it would have been for sony with Concord in the EU if this law were reality. Flop a game, a live service game no less and then they would have to leave it in a playable state for like a couple hundred people that ever played it in the EU. I don’t know how this law would work in this case. Would they be mandated to give out the server code that people could run their own servers?

It’s really ambiguous how it would or how it would be revised work for games that are multiplayer only.

it should have been a fp2

Really looks like this game was designed by incompetent suits and marketing teams with the primary goal of turning those millions into more money. The game looked good and didn’t seem to play (totally) awfully either. It just doesn’t stand out or make anybody want to play it, like at all. It really is a another one of those AAA unfinished style over substance tech demos that masquerade as a game that got released into really saturated market at a really bad time, where the competition is usually also free.

Also something, something big capital overtaking creative process is one of the great disasters of our time.

Actually never heard of JPEG XL, but i would prefer it for the promise of backwards compatibility alone. There are still programs and sites that don’t support using AVIF (much less WEBP ptui!).

Why does forbes care about Mobas dickfighting?

Nice and fun, took me like 5 mins to finish tough.

Re-establishment of clans and tribes will soon become an economic necessity for the poor. Unions would of course be better, but I’m not holding my breath.

Is it as bad on Nvidia?

problem is not on a development level, but rather on a project management and (particularly) an executive level.

In any industry as time progresses the production becomes more and more capital intensive and that needs more and bigger investors and all that capital means that there is a bigger risk and that is mitigated by the investors by requiring “their guys” to staff the management and these people are unusually really bad for the technical and actual value side of the business on the long run, because they are usually people with financial or marketing backgrounds. They fundamentally work by the logic of profit maximization and there are always easier and more surefire ways toi achieve that than with supplying a good product. It’s even worse when the end product is something that could be considered “art”. In AAA it all eventually leads into pushing bland installments under rushed deadlines for the same once successful franchise out one after another, just because that is where the risks are lowest and money is still being made.

Well that was so obvious of a joke that it's almost not funny :p

Removed by mod

Well if human body is a machine made out of a chemical soup and that requires those parts working together in harmony, then of all possible states those parts can be most are logically non ideal.

He just does the “all publicity is good publicity” trick. He isn’t so stupid to actually do it.

Europeans want ministry of truth

Doubt… the same people who are pearl clutching about people losing faith in MSM are the ones who want this. They fear losing control of the narrative.

Plus on top of all the other subscription fees.

it’s not even really about the money, even if it will fuck the devs and ruin projects and lives, but the breach of trust and a mark that more shit is probably on it’s way if this goes through. Unity owns a ecosystem that many people depend on and now they really start squeezing. It’s not right.

This is why things that act as commons should be either nationalised or replaced with free software.

If you are comparing a third party library changing its monetization model

If you starting point is “it’s just money lol”, then beside your general screwed sense of justice this is another major problem in you thinking. Many people have made it blatantly clear that this is not just some price increase that devs can just wave away. It can cause cost of millions to devs at worse and that’s bad if you have a tight and fixed budget and you are years in development. It’s also a breach trust that will make nobody want to use unity ever again and that’s bad when people have sometimes invested their lives in it. That’s bad for Unity too yes, but it’s bigger that just one company. I have already told you this and why I sympathise with the devs.

And you can’t see that violence is not just when somebody bleeds. Also you really can’t imagine that anything that isn’t legal is a justified action to a wrongdoing.

just wondering, what is your opinion of Palestine struggle against Israeli encroachment and occupation of their lands? 😜
