Ah yes, an apology. The thing that takes no effort and doesn’t do anything without them getting rid of the lunacy that they never should have engaged with.

If it’s the culmination of his work, does that mean it won’t have any of the features he claims to be in it? Is there a chance it’s not even a game? You just download an WEBM file that’s 50 gig in size?

To be fair, they’re both correct interpretations of how the title is written. It’s the article itself that makes it a lot clearer than a single-sentence title could.

Purge LARPing?

Right. I’m going to have to suggest you re-read my comment and the context. What I was saying was that a ghost function that isn’t AI-powered wouldn’t be susceptible to legal action under this patent. I also have no doubt Sony will force this in anyway. All of the big companies have gone gaga for AI. I have absolutely no idea why other than very poorly made projections, but the reality is they insist on using the biggest crowbar they can find.

I don’t disagree with the 30% being too much. That said, Steam often provides more than just a sales pages for the fee, they always provide server access for multiplayer and cloud saving. That has to get covered somehow. I also believe in celebrating the good things going and there really aren’t many of those in the gaming market these days, certainly not in the AAA-money tier. I’m going to enjoy the wins we get. If you don’t want to do that, enjoy being miserable, I guess.

No one wants a ghost recording? Due to the common use of it in racing games since forever and the implementation of a similar mechanic in FromSoftware games being so well received.

Till it goes public or his son decides to shit all over it for profit.

This risks being true for any and every successful company and is a genuine concern, but this is why I only named Gabe in my comment. Being a private company and him as CEO, based on statements from him in the past, pro-consumer practices are his directive. What-aboutisms have nothing to do with it.

Agreed. I think the examples you named would lead to there being an insane amount of categories, not to mention the ludicrous amount of games that would fall under a category like “roguelike of the year” and some categories wouldn’t be present some years based on design trends. Categories absolutely need reform though. The way TGA currently does it is obnoxiously flawed.

I’m neither simping for Gabe nor am I glazing anything I like. In fact, I often don’t like Steam, the client, at least. Why I say Gabe is because he (or his staff) commonly make consumer-friendly decisions for the platform. Check out a YT channel called Bellular News and search Steam. It’s full of good-news pieces of things Gabe or Steam have done in the last year alone. Compared to all of the bad-news pieces always being about pretty much every other company, hearing about Steam is a breath of fresh air.

He certainly deserves it. Between Ross and Gabe, we gamers actually stand a chance in this capitalist dystopia we call reality.

Thankfully that’s unlikely due to such an approach having a completely different implementation.

This feels a lot more like what we should have seen at TGA. I’ve got no qualms with E33 as GOTY (nor Silksong for that matter), but seeing almost every award go to it was so monotone and boring while basically nothing else got a look-in despite being more than good enough.

Not much of a surprise to see people have bounced off.

Tried just last year. Nope

And water is still wet

Bronzor beat me to it but, yes Stop Killing Games.

Expansion, you say? I feel like I’ve heard this before somewhere…

Fuck off, GOG. You’re a business, not a charity. You made that clear when your bailed on SKG

Sadly, this is the best I could find but I could have sworn there was also mention of the depiction of women too.
