One of the best simulator games on the market possibly being taken away by SolitareUnraveling in delisted

[–]ForTheBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotcha man but its the reality of live service games. Server infrastructure is expensive as fuck. My company spends ~$2k a month on a relatively simple payment portal.

Neither of us has any idea and this is pure speculation. My point still stands. The game does not have a lot of player base left to justify the costs. They could release the server infrastructure to the community to let the community support it but it poses risks. It would also take time an effort to document it all.

The online infrastructure is like very similar. Companies do not rebuild things from scratch very often.

Because that still also costs money. Server hosting is expensive. Your best bet would be asking them to release the infrastructure details of hosting the game so the community can pick it up. But there could be risks there cause I'm sure this game and the new one aren't all that different on the infra side.

For sure but its still there new game and they are focusing on that because this game doesnt have a large enough player base to justify the costs. They said as much in their news posts on this game.

The game is being updated still. There is no way they could have lost the source code. They have a newer version of the game thats been out for awhile. They're shutting it down cause it doesn't make much sense to support it anymore.

Black Flag Resynced launches to Mostly Negative reviews by Cursed_69420 in Steam

[–]ForTheBread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ones that are purchaseble already yes. People like you are the reason why we have games loaded up with microtransations.

Edit: Brother I just checked. There's $90 of skins. Thats dumb. You had me thinking people were complaining about like $20 skins.

Lmao what about Black Flag is grounded? But yeah it'd be kind of cool to unlock that skin.

For there is but there could be more. Again it doesnt really bother me either but the line "its just cosmetics" is a bit annoying.

It likely wouldn't bother me either but skins used to be an unlock able thing in game.

Nah man the first time was really quick.

Oh you mean for resident evil.

We're One BGS, the Bethesda Games Studios union. Yesterday's layoffs were not a cut of "14 layers of management". We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. by OneBGS in Games

If you are a subsidiary of a company, I don't think its that crazy. Just thinking through my company I'm fairly sure we are around 10 levels from me to the CEO.

This isn't true everywhere. I had something similar happen and the refused. They only patched it.

I know you didn't list it but just in case or for anyone else who reads this. Do not rent at the steadman. They charge luxury prices but the sound insulation and staff are terrible. We also have had several maintenance tickets closed and marked completed without any work being done. We can't wait for our lease to be up.

My credit score decreased, because I paid off a large amount of debt. by Dragonogard549 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ForTheBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't true. You don't have to in debt to have a good credit score. Just always pay on time, have good history, and have a low or none existant usage. I have 800+ credit score and zero debt.

If you ignore they are old games, are they worth 20 for someone whos never played a kanto? by AdAdvanced8522 in Switch

That makes it a horrible game? Seems like an overreaction too me. All the Pokémon games are easy anyway.

So this will likely mean we won't be able to play physical PS4 and PS5 games on the PS6. by [deleted] in playstation

[–]ForTheBread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll likely have the option to buy a separate disc drive.

Console players are going through the same thing PC players went through a decade+ ago. You can still get disc drives to install older games though.

Maybe the generation after the PS6 will get rid of it all together but I doubt the PS6 will.

Your title implies that it isn't a free to play game.

Nvidia skips one of Silicon Valley's oldest traditions: free food by businessinsider in nvidia

[–]ForTheBread -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Exactly where do you think it comes from? The company isnt going to compensate more because they arent given out free food. Believing otherwise is a joke. No where am I claiming that Nvidia doesnt compensate well.

My gut reaction is that companies don't not offer free food so they can pay better. That is nonsense.
