It defaults to 10% but developers can set a higher or lower rate at their discretion.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run dev says they could've made 3 sequels without paying a penny for the license: "Some crazy person at the publisher - we never found out who - said no" by Kelly in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[-] Kelly@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

I feel the same way about EA, they did The Simpsons Game in 2007 for  Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

Then The Simpsons Tapped Out for mobile in 2012/13.

Since then they have done nothing with the license for a decade ?!

If I had bought a portal I would be disappointed if they offered a standalone device so soon. It would feel like a bait and switch.

I'm all for them offering the best products they can at any point in time but it would feel like they started with a gimped starter model so people who upgrade end up buying both.

This needs to be killed as we have prior art (Emulators, Braid, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, heaps of racing games, etc).

If their only significant addition is "we a have a button for it" then we need to ask if a button qualifies as "inventive" in 2024?

The Australian Government has announced changes to the way video games are classified in Australia. Starting from September 22nd, 2024, two new rules will apply to games that include “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” such as loot boxes [now M], and games that feature “simulated gambling,” like casino games [now R18+].

Games industry layoffs not the result of corporate greed and those affected should "drive an Uber", says ex-Sony president by Kelly in c/games@sh.itjust.works

workers who have lost their jobs should "drive an Uber" or "go to the beach for a year" until employment settles.

The second part has real "let them eat cake vibes"!

Please add spoiler tag rendering (lemmy.world)

The spoiler syntax is supported when editing but fails to render when viewing.

Example (spoiler alert I suppose!):

Personally I have held back from discussing details of current films because spoiler masking isn't guaranteed and I don't want to ruin anyone's experience. If Boost can add this then we are one step closer to a perfect world.

The gif format is currently lacking pinch zoom support.

This makes it impossible to see details like text in larger images.

Some examples:

Ditch brightly coloured plastic, anti-waste researchers tell firms by Kelly in c/news@lemmy.world

I might be missing the point but does it matter if it breaks down into micro plastics over 3 years or 13?

If single use plastics are destined to become micro plastics does the time scale matter?

I guess acknowledging the problem is the first step.

The op link hit a paywall for me, this one is working:

the company will now pay “zero” dollars as part of the settlement after earlier facing a $5 billion penalty.

I guess they would call that a win
