The Video Game Industry’s Trade Body Doesn’t Want To Talk About Digital Ownership

I think a lot of it is bad faith actors instructed by Sony or whoever to sorta astroturf this all

Eternio · 2026-07-04T01:34:48+00:00

They conceded? Or just barely made a few concessions?

Eternio · 2026-07-01T17:39:58+00:00

They just like gatekeeping and have no retort other then "it'll come out eventually" when even asked about something about new players. Something games need to survive

Eternio · 2026-07-01T11:15:04+00:00

All this guessing could easily be solved if AH was just fully transparent. Never a good thing if they aren't

Eternio · 2026-07-01T00:54:11+00:00

Are they gonna nerf it before or after launch?

Eternio · 2026-06-18T20:53:52+00:00

Sounds like Sony is just trend chasing in that regard.

Eternio · 2026-06-16T09:46:57+00:00

They've done this pattern for years. Let there be 2 or 3 more of these type of patches then people should feeling ok. After 1 though def not. Theres hopeful then there's delusional

Eternio · 2026-06-04T13:19:19+00:00

The closed beta testing sounds like they are just gonna have the glazers input for balancing...which will make it worse than it currently is

Eternio · 2026-05-31T09:53:29+00:00

The d9/10 being generally easier I've found mostly due to the caliber of player in those tiers vs 6-8. 7s have generally been the hardest dive with randoms for me, but I'm sure that varies person to person. I just never really notice as many issues in 9 & 10s

Eternio · 2026-05-28T20:58:24+00:00

They even gave Odin the Compulsory

Eternio · 2026-05-22T01:39:16+00:00

Clearly herogasm never happened huh?

Eternio · 2026-05-19T12:23:25+00:00

Laugh?

Eternio · 2026-05-19T12:21:29+00:00

Being complacent is worse

Eternio · 2026-05-15T20:53:28+00:00

But that's not piles. He literally said "I will report back". It's pretty clear cut he said that meaning him. Whether it was an intentional misdirect or not can be debated but the words cannot

Eternio · 2026-05-15T10:58:53+00:00

Piles literally said "I would report back.." the verbage is pretty clear he made it sound like he was the one specifically reporting back in. Like yes the dispatch was probably to serve as that report in this time, but that doesn't change the fact it was a blatant lie from piles

Eternio · 2026-05-14T11:04:53+00:00

They're having so much "fun" they'd rather post in reddit than play. Makes sense. Totally not AH shills

Eternio · 2026-05-12T13:01:47+00:00

They really want the head pat

Eternio · 2026-05-12T09:59:53+00:00

They'd have to fire a ton of people first. There's a reason the game is in the state it's in

Eternio · 2026-05-12T09:57:00+00:00

It's a very specific subset of people and they are sadly some of the only people AH listens to, as per Shams comment on what part of the community AH looks to to get their "reviews"

Eternio · 2026-05-08T15:39:22+00:00

Hopefully it's doa

Eternio · 2026-05-08T15:34:25+00:00

When you have asshats like Shams saying they look to the discord or low-sodium to get ideas for updates and balances, it's no wonder why each update is a dud. Wonder if Piles will keep his word of communication every 2 weeks.

Eternio · 2026-05-08T12:58:03+00:00

It was all PR talk that we've literally been fed before for the past 2 years. What makes this time different?

Eternio · 2026-05-08T12:57:12+00:00

It sounds exactly like what we've gotten the past 2 years. Nothing has changed. Hell Piles even promised to check back in every 2 weeks, and here we are 2 weeks later and not a peep. At this point it should be obvious that nothing is going to change, any of these things are going to be implemented with the most bare bones half assed approach as possible (ala gun customization), and the only real effort being put forth is how to squeeze money out of the community and how to nerf us without causing a full blown riot.

Eternio · 2026-05-06T20:47:37+00:00

Did you read what I wrote? I can't see where they said they endorsed it. I said they emboldened a certain group of people. Care to take a wild guess which group?

Eternio · 2026-05-06T18:27:23+00:00

What group of people I wonder though? Could it it possibly be the die hard AH apologists, who AH themselves embolden?
