Yea. A singleplayer/coop game doesnt need preorder cosmetics. Thats also ridiculous.

A dev was commenting on pirating. How are they are oblivious to why people would want to pirate when the first thing you get hit with when you open the game is a bullshit EULA?

If they want analytics, it should be an opt-in.

Man gaming is in a sorry fucking state.

It shouldn't be calling home at all. And why the fuck does any game like this need anti-cheat?!

Eh, whatever, it's UE5 underperforming shit anyway. Sorry to the developers who spent time on this, I guess management fucked it for you. I don't know how much was Krafton (I'd guess not much) or just some out of touch managers, but man does it suck.

It's the same for all western countries too, well, most countries in the world. And guess what old people are voting for at the polls? It isn't sacrificing anything of their own for a brighter future for the youth, that's for sure.

If they add AI they better not ask me for any money ever again.

He doesn't understand what VAT is.

American police once again showing to us how unfit for the job they are.

What did we learn?

That's right! Stop buying games when or before they release!

Seriously though, what do people expect? Just wait a couple weeks after release and see what happens, it won't kill you.

Oh no! The poor multi-billion dollar football leagues are losing out on pennies from people who cant afford extortionate subscription services! Quick, take legal action!

Piracy is a service problem.

This is one of those shitty products that you can see being shitty from a mile away, yet all the coverage and discussion around it gives it a life it otherwise wouldn't have had.

I was happy with an ad at the side of the video. Then they started popping up over my video, then they started appearing before my video, then they started appearing throughout my video. Companies shot themselves in the foot with online advertising, banner ads and such weren't much of a problem, but once ads start disrupting the content we visit a site for, then we look to block them ads. More people blocking ads is less revenue, so they make the ads more aggressive... and the cycle continues.

And on a side note, Linus can fuck off.

MTX have become normalized and it's fucking depressing to see. So many people defend their existence, truly a sad time for the industry.

Valve could reduce their cut honestly, perhaps some program for independent developers to help them get on their feet. I don't think the top games or big publishers should be getting cut reductions.

Either way, Valve haven't been buying out studios for exclusive games, so Epic and Sweeney can go fuck themselves, they are scum.
