I would argue Ubisoft doesn’t love or feel anything. It was a slow regress, but at some point it has lost enough of it’s humanity to just become a dead object. A machine run by a faulty algorithm bringing it’s rapidly approaching destruction.
Big N could make losses for decades to come and still have lots of cash to spend but it won’t come to that because they make stupid amounts of cash with merchandising alone. So no, you and I likely won’t live to see their bankruptcy and I honestly couldn’t care less anyway. I just won’t buy their stuff and that’s that. They also have not changed. They’ve been this way since the Donkey Kong vs. King Kong lawsuit and a long history of harassing fans going back 20 years and more.
I guess that must be why I can’t buy the Black & White games or Fable 2. Because Microsoft cares so much about preserving the awkward legal Loop some of their Lionhead Games are in.
Look CDPR, I love the Witcher games and think Cyberpunk is a fine game too. Just please take your time. That’s all I’m asking for.
And then they’ll stop having creators creating free content for their advertisement sceme to work. Genius!
They’re even shoving AI into Youtube by placing a summary in plain text below some videos now. Don’t know if it’s opt-in or just randomly placed for testing but so far I’m not impressed because it skips over important things. I’m honestly puzzled as to why the hell they’re doing this.
That’s standard procedure. Elden Ring’s animations and enemy moves are mostly reused assets from previous games and it shows when the models morph here and there because the rig is recycled. Don’t remember anyone complaining about it even though it actually is noticeable.
I don’t think this is a problem specific to men or adults primarily but children growing up with them. That is if they’ll continue to improve drastically which won’t necessarily happen.
But why would you need bots to scrape data? Wouldn’t a script just do fine?
That’s rich.
Reminds me of Amazon Games’ disastrous MMO launches in Europe because they refused to add more server capacity for European players until they left in droves. For comparison the US servers had more than three times as much capacity at launch.
That’s not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when someone brings something unrelated up to make the main topic look less important and that’s not happening here.
Alright that’s still a weird ruling to someone outside America though because something like a shopping mall or a parking lot are public spaces here too as well as anything that is openly visible on the internet. Which makes a lot of sense.
Sony would essentially own the anime and manga industry and be able to dictate monetization practices as well as trends. I find that even more concerning than the Fromsoft acquisition and that’s saying something. Nothing good can come from this whatsoever.
I’m surprised European governments haven’t demanded better enforcement of laws when it comes to hate speech on Steam. Instead they regulate stuff like lootboxes or spicy content because they think those are more harmful than fascism apparently.
It’s a public space in Europe for sure. No idea why the US would think openly accessible forums are a private little backroom where rules don’t apply.
If it was a core directive it would just delete itself.
And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.
The FTC does have a pretty solid track record under their current lead, it’s just that it will likely be demolished under Trump.
Yup it’s the same here in Germany where more and more households have been taking energy production into their own hands. Soon energy companies will only be in charge of distribution and storage, but I doubt this will make things much cheaper for long unless we cut private companies out of the process completely.
