It’s entirely possible these aren’t real players, but are actually some kind of automated testing scripts or service monitors that someone forgot (or just never cared) to turn off before getting sacked, running on a forgotten QA box somewhere deep in the bowels of Sony.

I saw one the other day painted neon yellow. Believe it or not, it actually seemed like an improvement.

Honestly, I’d love to see games set in the Alien universe that have absolutely nothing to do with the aliens. The whole design concept for the original movie was “truckers in space”. So where’s my space trucking game?

Hear hear!

It’s time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

This community desperately needs some better moderation…

I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

Why don’t they just hire more people with the $700 million they’ve raised?

At least horse armor was good for the memes. This is so bland no one even cares to meme about it.

Estimates have put the game’s budget at upwards of $250 million, so they’d need to sell at least 5 times as many copies to even break even. Games (from traditional studios, anyway) are crazy expensive now.

TBH, I really wish he would’ve just shut up and let the gameplay breathe for a while. They started the showcase explaining how this game isn’t going to hold your hand, but then spent the next fifteen minutes over-explaining every little detail, lol

No Dark Souls?

Shame! Shame!

Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.

Epic vs Steam isn’t much of a turf war as far as the fans are concerned. Everyone universally hates the Epic Games Store and loves Steam. The only reason EGS has so many timed exclusive is because Epic pays out the nose for them.

Can’t find your game? We’ve tried to include all games that make it into the top 200 on the App Store charts.

This appears to only cover mobile games. I’d love to see something similar for PC/console releases…

Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?

Curious how they quantify ‘attractiveness’. Is it self-reported, or are they attempting to use some kind of qualitative metric to rate the attractiveness of participants?

If the former, you could just as easily draw the conclusion that more confident people spend less time gaming.

It will certainly be gratuitous…

That’s for courts to decide ignore, peasant!

In scientific terms? An absolute fuck-ton of football fields.
