Maximum dooming for a game that almost everyone likes. lmao

That just proves they’re already willing to make it worse. Dating apps have $500/mo plans now. Snapchat is 95% ads, 5% chat

Take a look at Snapchat, Microsoft Solitaire, or most dating apps. That’s what this usually looks like after 5-10 years.

Discord’s fine now but it sure won’t be in 5 years. Companies going public like this always end badly

This drama doesn’t deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable lives while the rest of the world enjoys a fun video game

best game in the series imo

Maybe you should have watched the reveal video then

my steam download speed is so dead right now. rip their servers

Plastic cases, discs, etc are expensive and degrade over time. Consoles will break down. 50 years from now there’ll be too much history to keep making copies of everything worth saving. If we do want a video game preservation law, make it digital.

Emulation and piracy should be legal for games older than ~20 years, or if the parent company goes under. Online games should be required to make an offline mode patch before shutting down.

As a related example, my parents have a bunch of bookshelves packed with everything they bought over the years. And as a kid I never touched any of it because the books had become all gross and yellowed. Physical game archives will last a couple decades longer but in the end it’ll be the same result.

Well yeah used games are always cheaper. These were $60 $50 new

When games were expecting to be rentals, the first few levels would be front loaded with the best that the game had to offer, and then later levels would be more phoned in

Still happens today. First impressions matter, budgets are finite, and sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP

Have you seen a single screenshot of FF7 PS1? lmao

If all the Xenoblades and most of the big 3rd party switch 1 games can be <16GB, they can make this work. 32GB games (just guessing here) on a 256GB storage wouldn’t be bad. Most indies will still be 0-8GB.

Another one?

Because it was a new AA game and most platformers are around ten hours. $20 is for indie games or big DLCs.

Makes sense, but if it’s only $10 it should just be free. $10 isn’t worth the bad PR and they should want this tour thing in as many hands as possible.

It’s not even out yet and they redesigned the entire stick. Can we stop whining about every little detail here, we’ll find out how they perform in 2 months

“We’ll look at each game, really look at the development that’s gone into the game, the breadth and depth of the gameplay, if you will, the durability over time and the repeatability of gameplay experiences.

idk what better explanation you could expect. He’s very clearly explaining the reasons here and you’re all being hysterical about it.

You’re overreacting to other people’s social media overreactions. I’m talking about the actual products they sell.
