I’d be surprised if Microsoft didn’t follow with the exact same policy tbh

The $80 price tag has always been for single player though, gta5 online released later than the singleplayer too (but it was free)

I’m wondering if they release online in Jan-Feb next year to screw over all the publishers that pushed their game because of gta6

Looking further into that other thread I see what you mean, it looks like the devs themselves realized the other icons (and even changed one for the game’s logo) but GOG just not have known that. I’ll have to update my reply, thank you!

It sounds like they knew the most obvious one, from the first apology. Though they did leave that in anyway (emphasis added):

What was displayed in several devices as doppelrune is out of our control. ᛋ was displayed as ϟ on several devices (might display for you differently here as well just letting you know). We should pay more attention to checking it on a different systems and devices. I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.

And if they are retired, they have even more money – but nobody’s making games for the retired people.

Thank god for analysts, always letting us know who they think are available to monetarily exploit

I’m wondering if that has something to do with the reshuffle. If they move 1000 people onto a dead end team they might be able to lay them off easier

LOL thank you for your sacrifice

I think he would’ve been fine if he’d had constraints. When he has a huge budget the games still try to do too much.

The Romero thing is interesting… apparently he can still make a decent WAD, but not every game the guy works on is going to be a banger. Sometimes the marketing team leans in a little too hard. Not to say he didn’t believe in the game, I’ve never played that one

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time! RIP, apparently 😔

Hahaha yeah. Pay to earn? More like pay to learn

(i stole this joke)

It was obvious in hindsight. It was also obvious before and while it was happening.

The article is worth a read, it’s a common enough story that not exactly groundbreaking reporting but I liked how they tied the scam into Molyneux’s next project.

Happy (belated) birthday! 🎉

I’m not sure how, but sometimes Lemmy messes up link posts with images. I think the story is https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsofts-ai-slop-is-infecting-github-copilot-is-now-injecting-ads-into-pull-requests

Smiling Friends: The Game

Few errors is better than current autocorrect, sign me up!

I’ve been slowly replaying The Long Dark to prepare for the final episode to release, only a few weeks left! I’m part way though episode 2 so far and I’ve never played episode 4 so it’ll be a lot of new stuff.

I’ve also played a bit of Lucid Blocks which is pretty much a perfect little twist on a Minecraft style game. Exploring the world is weird and fun, and the crafting system feels very vibes-based but is learnable (especially by stamping recipes in the book). Definitely worth a few hours if you have that Minecraft itch but don’t want to play the regular game. Also it’s made with Godot!

Cairn looks so good! I played a lot of Baby Steps last year so I think I’ll enjoy it whenever I pick it up

Metal Arms here I come 👀

You have to ask yourself, is this comment intended to serve another interest?

Oh god that sounds tedious

I don’t know what D6 is, but I agree that most players do find smaller ways to minmax! I think it’s unavoidable and would put the behavior more into general strategic planning. I’ve definitely got a more narrow definition 😆
