  • Massively Overthinking: Is it possible to launch a new subscription MMORPG in 2025?

    Jump

  • Looking at the amount of money gacha and other "free"-to-play titles are pulling these days, it seems like quite a few people have lots of money to burn on gaming.

  • ‘Subnautica 2’ Leaders Say Krafton Sabotaged Game Over Payout [new events in the Subnautica 2 story]

    Jump

  • The vast majority of the bonus was going to the leaders who were ousted.

  • Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’

    Jump

  • In that case it wouldn’t be piracy.

    What about in this case?

    Why do people like Mario Kart?

    Jump

  • Why do people like video games?

    It always seemed like a kiddie hobby that's not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously.

  • Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days

    Jump

  • Yeah, PC gamers bent the knee to Steam decades ago at this point. This isn't exactly a brand new issue.

  • Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days

    Jump

  • Because myself and my kids like Mario Kart?

    Because I like my OG Switch and this is a pretty massive improvement over that console?

  • On the plus side, the virtue signalers saved $ and can spend it on something that’ll bring them more joy and is hopefully more aligned with their views. And gives them practice and a mindset of “I’m the kind of person willing to boycott” for any other boycotts that might have a real effect someday.

    It's not really a boycott if you never really planned on buying the product. Otherwise, I'm technically boycotting Apple and Ford. Because I don't buy Apply products and I don't buy Ford cars.

    When I say “please” and “thank you” I’m essentially just virtue signaling that I’m willing to play nice...

    Those are specific actions you are taking in being kind and nice towards another person in reality. However, if you were to make a comment on Lemmy about how kind of a person you are because you claim you say "please" and "thank you" all the time, then that would be virtue signaling, because making claims about what you do or care about on social media is relatively meaningless without the specific actions being taken outside of that context.

    So, in this case, talking about how evil Nintendo is for pricing a game at $80, what does that do exactly? Why should anyone else listen or care about someone expressing that opinion? Are you joining activist groups and spending time or money pushing for laws/politicians/etc to enact change to fight back against these actions? If so, then that's not virtue signaling. But I'm unconvinced most people expressing these opinions and upvoting/downvoting posts and comments are doing anything beyond exactly that.

    Jump

  • Of all the things in my life to worry about. Nintendo pricing and other issues barely move the needle.

    And if they did, it would be hard to game at all because every company has at least a few "practices" that you can point to as making them "bad".

  • Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days

    Jump

  • It's not really about boycotts not working.

    It's that a handful of people virtue signaling about how bad X game/company is on niche social media communities don't matter if their opinions aren't aligned with your average person.

    Most people just enjoy games as a hobby and treat it the same way they treat picking something to watch on Netflix.

  • Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'

    Jump

  • What I don't understand is why do developers make bad games? They should just make good games instead.

    Gamers want good games, not bad games.

  • ‘Elden Ring’ Movie in the Works From ’Civil War’ Director Alex Garland, A24

    Jump

  • Its funny in this case because not "fucking it up" effectively means making a movie that's barely related to the game outside of the basic setting.

  • ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

    Jump

  • Or you could always just not play the game? Is that not an option?

  • A Fond Farewell To Polygon, From The People Who Worked There - Aftermath

    Jump

  • Yup, at the end of the day, the community just wants content that glazes the games/devs they like and hates on the games/devs they don't.

    Doing anything else is going to make a lot of the community upset

  • We’re finally getting our first glimpse of 12-year-old Camelot Unchained since last year in today’s dev stream | Massively Overpowered

    Jump

  • Wow. I actually did back this way back in the day and I swear I completely forgot about it for at least the last couple years until this post.

    I'm sure the game prices will decrease, right guys?

    Jump

  • Yeah, thankfully with PC gaming there are no large corporations involved.

  • Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

    Jump

  • The lack of price drops aren't really caused by tariffs up to this point.

    Tariffs will be responsible for price increases however.

  • Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC

    Jump

  • Man, development times are getting pretty crazy at this point. Hard to believe that we are starting to see decades between sequels to titles as a normal thing in the high end of the market.

    It's no wonder more games are aiming for games-as-a-service style models.

  • Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer

    Jump

  • No Man's Sky was much more lacking at release compared to how they sold the game. And they basically went radio silent for quite a long time.

    I don't see how the two situations are similar.

    And No Man's Sky isn't that much better now anyways.
