Playing devil’s advocate, could it have been used to avoid persecution of these people now that the Emperor has returned and the crazies think they have mandate to “hunt”? There’s a non negligible chance that whoever decided this, lives in California, and thinks of themselves as quite liberal, they’re just too greedy to quit the job at Meta because that 6-7 figure income is worth it even when it means being complicit to the 4th Reich.
When Nintendo does this “genius game design”, when Ubi does it, well, the coment section above. We’ve lost the plot. If the game is good it should be lauded, if it’s bad, it should fail. Regardless of who are the main characters…
If it frustrates Trump, it must be the right thing to do.
Oh wow, this is looking good. Cautiously optimistic, may actually be the first one I pick up since syndicate.
I had forgotten about EA. What has gaming become…
Can we cut the transatlantic data cables please. Tired of these culture wars spreading everywhere. They have guns, just shoot at each other and leave the rest of the world alone.
I hope it’s good, especially the writing and progression systems. The art will be not to my taste, as usual, Obsidian is into garish colorful shit to detach themselves from other brands, which makes it right at home in Grounded, but in a fantasy RPG… nevertheless, if the gameplay and writing are good, it’s definitely a play.
I call BS on this. This is only true if you include gambling proceeds like CS skins, etc.
MIT in my heart is Nr.1!
… In making students commit suicide for frivolous IP lawsuits…
Otherwise is like baseball world series. “American exceptionalism”
Salesforce, that’s why. It started with them and now it’s the first thing regarded MBAs from Ivy league “top” universities consulting on behalf of McKinsey, PwC, EY, KPMG and Deloitte recommend to any Ctype position as soon as they are onboarded. If there was a virus that deleted consulting and marketing firms from the face of the earth, I’m positive we could end war and world hunger in a decade.
Like the baseball world series…
*US Academia
Most of what you wrote is demonstrably false, one look at the grants CDPR submitted for EU support shows clearly that in 2016 the objective was to execute on animation and AI with current hardware. Moving to new hardware, substantially improved graphical fidelity with the rewrite of Red Engine to support NVIDIA’s RTX technologies but NOTHING was added to improve AI which is a testament that this had nothing to do with Sony or new console hardware. I don’t know who is paying you to rewrite history but whoever it is, I appreciate their support for a fedi platform astroturfing. Respect, fuck reddit. Your story is still pulled out of yer arse tho.
edit: and that is before even mentioning the Xbox one and Microsoft’s contractual parity of features between sS and sX… Why on earth would the game launch on Xbone if it was a sony thing… Jesus…
What are the chances the other half of the dev team had all the technical know how and prison just became a really convenient cover for a bait and switch of an EAG?
I think if people in the US had the capacity for introspection and empathy we would have had a collective
are we the baddies
moment every year for the past 250y…
The same as when Americans posted about the gaza genocide on tik tok, the government cracks down.
It always cracks me up, the dudebros buying 2k GPUs because MUH PCMR and then use framegen to play with console input latencies…
FML, we’re breeding intelligence out of the gene pool at speeds that threaten the survival of the species.
Fluff piece has the typical fluff piece inconsistencies. Chief among them, utter lack of disclosure.
Please don’t rewrite history: Always online -> Microsoft started that trend with GFWL et al
DRM -> Industry standard, at least they don’t persecute people like Nintendo does
DLC -> No clue, patient gamer, buy the complete edition years later. I was however, under the impression that’s actually a Bethesda special, horse armour and all.
Buggy games -> Let me introduce you to Cyberpunk77
Writing -> Jap, it’s shit, like 90% of the games today because writers are expensive so “we use AI”
Open World -> BOTW is worse than contemporaneous Ubi games, 0 complaints. To this day, The Division 1 is a top 3 atmospheric and designed open worlds ever to release.
Launchers -> Rockstar, Epic, Origin/EA, BattleNet, GoG-Galaxy, Bethesda, XboxApp, Bedrock Edition, et al.
Access removal -> Pasmophobia, Destiny 2, GTAIV, any non cracked GFWL game, basically any digital purchase is not owned. The worse is really GFWL, I have a library of over 30 physical disks that I cannot play legally because reverse engineering a game’s copy protection is against the law. I have the physical copy that I paid for! Actual consequences to MS? 0 At least now we have a campaign to stop that from happening thanks to Ubi’s stupid the crew move.
Basically Ubi is not better or worse than current publishers, shit, ActiBlizz and EA are far far worse but…
Ubisoft just gets flack because Microsoft wants to buy them on the cheap. They allegedly helped stage an attempted hostile takeover in 2018 but it failed and Ubi ended up enlisting investments from Tencent. Since then MS has allegedly spent quite strongly to acquire the embattled publisher’s catalog on the cheap.
