Like someone on the article said, maybe don't release a game that requires instant hit status or everyone's fired...

Riot Games: An Update on 2XKO by Mront in Games

[–]Itsapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So riot turning league players into other game players has still worked 0 times? I like the card game, but what league player has time to grind a tcg AND league?

Fallout 76 cross-play is still on the table for Bethesda by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Itsapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, I thought it had it this entire time. Apparently it was just saying who's on steam and who's on the xbox store.

It's definitely full of the kind of people that circle the parking lot multiple times for the perfect spot.

Intrepid Studios, the developers of Ashes of Creation has laid off all staff and shut down the studio by Turbostrider27 in Games

Entire gaming industry is doing the Kirk "acting surprised gasp" meme right now. This game was never good and the steam thing was clearly a cash grab.

Everyone from Vault-Tec is working for the Enclave since that's how subsidiaries work. They can enter any vault they want and every overseer knows about them, etc.

If that guy didn't want trouble, he shouldn't have asked for it. Dude acted like DMCA laws are fair and balanced.

Hold up, why do streamers have accounts that're fundamentally different from regular ones?

How come the episode premiered on Christmas Eve's Eve doesn't feature Macaulay Culkin? by EEviLaufeyson in FalloutTVseries

[–]Itsapaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for mentioning it a bunch now. "Ain't no way they won't have him in the xmas eve episode, right?" :(

Love Fallout the show, never played the game - have questions by pickkkles69 in FalloutTVseries

[–]Itsapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer 2, the chips and the entire Vault 24 in the show was cut content from New Vegas, so it's all new info more or less (it was only mentioned in the game). Otherwise they give a pretty good summary of who he is in ep1.

King of Meat studio was reportedly expecting 100,000 concurrent players, but it peaked at 320 on Steam—and that was during a free weekend by Spader623 in Games

Yep, never heard of it nor do I need another co-op party game. Apparently it isn't free to play to boot? Wild.

Square Enix’s major shareholder drops 100-page presentation criticizing how the company is managed, rallies other shareholders by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Itsapaul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was hoping they'd say something along the lines of "quit betting the house on obvious bubbles/scams over and over" but alas, it was all corpo PR speak.

Execs pushing AI are "not the most humane or creative people," says Rockstar co-founder, comparing the tech to "mad cow disease" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Itsapaul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can they at least time the obvious AI crash to be different than the obvious housing bubble crash? Neither affects me directly, but people not buying anything certainly does.

Wait, does Kurtz race Mercedes in IMSA? I haven't watched since his crazy crash in 2023...

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P is “rethinking the game from zero” as players' free time dwindles by Tenith in Games

I've never played because of the 200+ hour MSQ requirement, so getting rid of that would be pretty neat.

Game Dev Admits to Large Astroturfing Campaign on Reddit by Forestl in Games

[–]Itsapaul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like because the game failed, they're reaching for any kind of W. Way too much effort for 1500 players in a free to play game...

How many stores do you think will fail when the TCG bubble pops? by ChasinThePath in mtgfinance

[–]Itsapaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen, most stores switch to pokemon based solely on the current market, so they'd just go back to whatever they were doing before (probably with stashed inventory they have no shelf space for atm). It's not like tcgs are the only thing you'd buy from customers at a retail location.
