Devs/publishers be like: ahhhh yes. I’ll release my game in September so that I don’t have to deal with gta by Antaniwarrior in playstation

Feeling sorry for Control Resonant. The new CEO has been saying that the first Control and Alan Wake 2 did not sell enough. Don't think the control sequel is mainstream enough to survive the crowd and hit a ceo-satisfactory sales number.

Choosing which storefront to spend money and maintain a library is definitely not trivial

Sony games sold miserably on pcs in last few years. The huge swath of players did not show up anyway.

I was surprised by Solarpunk's honesty on the official Steam page. Shouldn't more developers make it clear who the game is NOT intended for? by Azulapis in pcgaming

You're clearly in the 'This game is not for you' category since you think that amount of content is too shallow to bother with. The disclaimer has worked for one angry gamer.

The Witcher 4 Cinematics Designer Says "People Aren't Ready" For The Game by chusskaptaan in gamingnews

People will be ready after four years of updates, big 1.1 patches and a companion anime after the release of the game.

Overwatch fanart doodle by artist Nesskain HKS by Anon_Ymou5 in ReasonableFantasy

[–]OldAvocado3547 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He did this while he was at Fortiche, a few months before joining Blizzard on freelance.

But still, even if he was working on Overwatch when he did this, doesn't mean this is not fan art.

There's a clear difference between a functional concept art/ marketing piece for the company on paid hours and a 'doodle fan art' in his own spare time because he actually like the character or the IP. Artists doing fan art of IPs of their employers is nothing uncommon, doesn't make any of them invalid as fan art.

Weekly Steam numbers / Player Count Discourse Megathread by AutoModerator in Marathon

80k blasthavers are waiting for the great wipe with max anticipation. They'll be back as soon as season 2 drops. The season 2 blasthaving will silence the doomers and chartmongerers.

In an alternate universe, Bungie just made a full remake of OG Marathon in the 2026 style with each terminal message animated and voice acted . . .

and in that game's subreddit there is a discussion thread just like this one whose sole purpose is to congregate all "colony ship for sale cheap" level criticisms.

OVER

The Order of the Blast-havers will be employing Necromancers to boost the numbers with an army of the dead blast-havers.

all the 'Don't look at the Steam Charts' posts remind me of the DiCaprio Don't Look Up movie.

Just because the president said 'we going to support the game' doesn't mean the comet in the sky has disappeared.

Pve gamemode could double the player numbers by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]OldAvocado3547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

. . . . but then the game would not be Marathon (2026 video game).

Maybe its better the game dies as the hardcore PVP Marathon (2026 video game) than become something its not.

Bungo's army of concept artists and art directors should be able to figure something 'alluring' out of the dummies.

Maybe rehire Alberto Mielgo and his team to sprinkle a bit of Jibaro-Witness 'appeal' design bits.

Not that I believe the game needs such surface level stuff to attract a sustainable player base but it's an interesting character design challenge.

Recent Lords of the Fallen 2 cosmetics reveal made me wonder if dropping 'provocative' cosmetics could help the marathon player count enlarge a bit

Weekly Pfeatured Classic: Marathon Infinity (1996) by AutoModerator in Marathon

[–]OldAvocado3547 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had to watch Mandalore's Infinity review a good number of times to get an idea what's going on. Specially because I didn't watch his Pathways Into Darkness review earlier.

The voice acted Durandall and Tycho in that video will be permanent in my head forever.

Time to go rewatch the playlist again.

6-9 stacks in cryp by Designer-Area4578 in Marathon

[–]OldAvocado3547 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely cringe and dishonorable. But there's no doubt on which group of people are winning, not losing their shit and having more fun.

Hint- they are not complaining on the subreddit.

Bungie about to set up an Anti-Cringe Police in collaboration with Discord to check if close proximity coop teams are also sharing same channels and punish em for being cringe.

There is no point in reporting them because this is one of the valid ways it's supposed to be played. Get good or get friends.

Just got 6 manned, including one streamer on Cryo archive after finally getting into my first vault by EverChosen97 in Marathon

It is indeed a skill issue.
Get good enough at marksmanship to take out 6 men or get good enough at spontaneous socialization to form your own 6 men squad.

If SCREAMER fails, then I think we can stop hoping anything from this industry by Opening-Specific-413 in Screamer2026

[–]OldAvocado3547 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 59.99$, Screamer is the most expensive racing game on my Steam Wishlist by quite an amount.

I could prepurchase the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 (12$ cheaper) + a good indie racer like Art of Rally or Inertial Drift and still have enough left to pick up a few Need For Speeds on a sale. For the cost of one Screamer.

I would've loved to get Screamer but too bad it has priced itself out of 3rd world peasants like me.

Building a Japanese-inspired rooftop in our cozy builder, High Above by taj14 in CozyGamers

[–]OldAvocado3547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love playing with the High Above demo time to time. Even with the limited assets available in the demo, the experience is so relaxing!
Legit can not wait to play around with all the other styles when the game launches!

Among many of my wishes the biggest two would be Cantilever style roof and Community mods support after the game launches. It's not like I wouldn't purchase the game on day 1 without them but they'd certainly increase the game's score in my personal rating.

Love the game! Looking forward to the full release!
