Fair point.
Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.
However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.

At the cost of making people write their own successful stories, rather then riding on the popularity of an old franchise to sell it’s brand.
Don’t get me wrong, I would have absolutely played a KoToR with BG3 graphics.
But I would also settle for a new star wars story with BG3 graphics.
A 30% increase in performance just might get gamers to switch over to the new operating system.
Hell that is the difference between a better graphics card for some people. It’s like getting a free overclock, just for going outside your comfort zone.
You accept donations?
Forgive me if this is a silly question, I usually hang out on the Kbin side of things, and I haven’t seen any donation requests or even an idea that you did.
Are you keeping donations private for now?
I’ve resigned to put Star Citizen in the same basket as Half Life 3, and a Knights of the Old Republic remake.
Love the concept and commitment to the ideas, but I don’t actually expect to be able to play it.
The thing about being “Armed” is the fact you are indeed dangerous. As a gun is a tool with one job, to kill people.
It’s not like a gun is a fashion accessory for these people… right?
As the people on the track are moving at an accelerated speed of 0 m/s, normally a train would apply the full force of the train moving to the meat bags human ethic problems on the tracks.
As newton’s first law states F = m*a, or Force = Mass * acceleration
F = x * 0 = 0 N of force
thus, they could just plop out as if falling after having a chair removed.
What are you talking about? This is the same game as the previous edition. I am not even sure they changed the graphics this time.
I guess this could be a glass half full kind of situation.
But they also are not making as much money as they could have if they delivered on a good game. Even if they got only 5% of steam, that is still 95% of steam that didn’t buy it.
Sure, you can make the argument that they still got into a new market. However, if your product was scientifically engineered to appeal to the most demographics, then only 5% of that market is concerning.
It was a different perspective on an imperfect galaxy and one that felt like it was lived in.
Not just Aliens visit earth!
But a new perspective like… what if just because we have faster then light travel, racism didn’t go away, and it had laser swords and near super human abilities powers!
It makes sense from a perspective that their jobs just got a lot harder, they don’t have any of the tools they used to, they are being threaten with termination if they don’t volunteer their free time.
Why would anyone want to do that hobby?
I think people would pay ticket price to watch a rich person be dunked into an Ohio river. Think of the merchandising revenue alone!
The event would pay for itself! /s
Sorry, best I can do is a 2005 madcat controller.
I think Microsoft as a company is trying to pivot away from game development and instead becoming game publisher. Which all things considered, isn’t a bad thing. WIth improvements to AI, I imagine being a game creator is going to become much easier, so much easier, that AAA game studios just won’t be able to compete.
So being in charge of the marketplace is a good business strategy in that context.
You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks
No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.
Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.
Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.
Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.
