That’s subjective, depends on what you expect from a game. Personally I love them because I just like learning, mastering and beating a system. Others might value a narrative or social aspects of gaming more, and that’s allright.

They do be saying that life imitates art
You’re criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?
Why entertainment is a luxury, knowledge and education is basically what human civilization is built upon and should be free. Of course the reality is that people need money in the current system we live in and we have to reward those somehow who dedicates their time and efforts to education.
So I’ve arrived to a conundrum… Because I think morally it’s more acceptable to pirate educational content (imho), but I’m also more likely to pay the educators, as it is a very important job. Of course this does not apply to when someone just gatekeeps knowledge because of greed, it’s very similar to charity fraud in my book
It is always left out from the Lemmy app party :(
Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I’d argue that it’s all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won’t dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.
Interesting find. I guess the target audience are VR arcades/rentals. Considering they probably return the investment in a couple dozen sessions it’s reasonable price (for a business).
I’m personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies
It’s a company. They realized they make platforms even better than games and capitalized on that. I see no issue with that. Moreover, they were working on Source 2, HL: Alyx and Counter Strike 2 recently, which I would say is immense work for a company, even more so considering their very humble employee count (compared to direct competitors, e.g. Epic)
Yeah, you’re going to lose some wow factor when you realize a trick or game mechanic required for the puzzles, but I think it’s still worth it (if you love puzzles anyway)
Thanks for the recommendation for Taiji, it really is very similar, looks like something I’d love to play :) I put it on my wishlist!
The Witness also falls into this category I think. I love these games as well
Tfw you’re never gonna play Rainbow Seven 😭
Yaaaaaas! I’m really happy for this. void Bastards was great, however I’d have loved if it had more content, longevity and replayibility. But it was a wery solid game with oozing personality.
I hope we get the same quality and style, but maybe with a little more content this time!
You pay for it, sure, but I’m not sure you “purchase” a rental car. Imho there sould be a legistlation that says you can’t use wording like “buy” or “purchase” for digital media that you don’t own. Like “buy license” or “start rental”… IDK
Thankfully they are having a resurgence recently (in my experience). I think Valve had a big part in it with Nextfest, which is focused on demos basically.
We as a society should stop punishing people for insignificant crimes against big corpos. This sentence sounds something out of a dystopia. Really, even if there is supposedly 5 million USD in damages, are there any proof that anyone working at Rockstar games will feel the impact as a person? It is such a huge company I bet they wouldn’t even feel it. Maybe there needs to be some cost cutting here and there, or maybe some people will lose some jobs? But neither warrants lifelong confinement - this is something you might get if you ruin someones life forever.
Sooo juicy, love the feedback. The vibe reminds me of a side-scrolling Nuclear Throne (especially love the bullets - RIP Vlambeer). All it needs now is all the screen shakes!
I don’t doubt the guy had good intentions at first, my theory is that greed got to him as the money started to pour in. What would have been the end goal if nobody ever notices? Can you even hide this kind of money from authorities as a charity organization?
However, I think he still can salvage the situation and his some of his reputation if he owns up to his mistakes and donates all of the money now.
Never understood this argument, it’s the person’s responsibility who changed the code to update the comments if needed. Otherwise they just implicitly admit that they did not read it or understand the context, or just plain did not care.
This kid is gonna get rich if they stick to it
