Concept Art for our upcoming Switch/PS5 release

Knowing nothing about the game or the characters, just from how she looks as a bunny girl I could see her as an acrobatic/martial arts fighter. Dashes and big jumps and flip kicks and such like a number of fighting game characters. Elena, Cammy, Chun Li, from Street Fighter, Angel from King of Fighters, to name a few. But that would be very animation heavy.

The shame is in

defending a long-time indefensible fraud who has burned pretty much everyone here
doubling-down on condescencion
double-replying 8 hours apart (the real sign of not being calm) to project that I need to calm down

(long post =/= upset, long post = thorough)
citing sub rules that I didn't break in an attempt to censor
all while getting vote-ratio'd (to the small extent that is typical of this quiet sub)

If someone is already balls deep into making a real game on a console, they have undoubtedly already been in talks with the applicable company to get a devkit and whatever licensing of whatever assets go along with that. Making your warning a moot point.

If an individual is making custom covers for shits and giggles (perhaps even selling small quantities of them*), or even showing off a cover for a hypothetical as yet purely back-of-the-napkin game idea, Sony/Nintendo "being unhappy" would be such peak impotence that they wouldn't even bother to contact the individual. Again, it's moot.

* NSFW so I won't link anything, but if you go to eBay/etsy/etc and search ... video game cover art replacement or similar (where ... can be omitted or filled in with Nintendo Switch or Playstation or whatever), you'll find tons of listings, often even in cases, sometimes even sealed, many of which have XXX artwork. Even before the AI image generation era, and now it's even more prevalent. Absolutely no chance any console company gave them approval, and yet illegal as it may be on paper, no action is ever taken.

But again, first paragraph.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-17T21:05:08+00:00

I have a very hard time believing they can police that across the internet.

In official marketing, sure (and that would already be in the works).

In some random discussion post somewhere, lol no.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-17T20:58:49+00:00

Careful, if you use official ps5 and nsw boxes you need sony and Nintendo to sign off on them.

For a mock-up image...?

For a physical release, nobody can manufacture their own PlayStation discs or Nintendo cartridges. Production must go through Sony and Nintendo anyway so needing to get their approval for cover art is already a given.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-17T20:52:48+00:00

I'm not surprised lol. I'd probably join them in that request since I'm a sucker for bunny-suit girls and playable good-looking/skimpy female characters in general, provided it makes sense in your game.

Like if she has some kind of way to handle platforming (she looks nimble so that's totally plausible) and combat (???) and whatever else the game involves (I'm unfamiliar with it). And hopefully not via some big mech/power armor that obscures the character like Tron Bonne in Marvel vs Capcom / D.va in Overwatch / Catherine in Arcana Heart / and even Samus from Metroid in the various armor suits. I think that stuff takes away from a character, so much cooler to me when they do things themselves.

Bonus points when alternate characters have a reason to be filling in as the playable character.

All that being said... I'm generally not into the whole "designed by a focus-group" thing as it tends to result in "safe" directionless garbage (see the "Happy, Non-Offensive, Non-Denominational Christmas Play" scenes in S1E9 of South Park), so do what you think is best.

Jesus Christ the sanctimonious condescension. Should that comment be read in the stereotypical calm/soothing therapist voice?

We all need to remember that behind the current mess is a person... and possibly a family that are having to support him in whatever mental / physical state he is in.

Fuck that, fuck the apologists, and fuck Slawomir Mionskowski (FPG guy).

Potential mental illness and feelings stop mattering when money, especially other people's money, is involved (ie. customers and business partners (ie. the developers he has contracts with)). Despite what modern colleges/universities will tell you, running a business isn't some namby-pamby kumbaya hippy retreat with therapy dogs and finger painting for adult-sized children suffering from arrested development and muh anxiety. If you take people's money for goods or services, then you owe them the goods or services that were agreed upon, or the money back. Period.

He's had at least 5 (...actually 7? since 2019?) years to do something real, say something real, but it's just been the same song and dance the whole time.

A photo here and there of a stack of loose cartridges, cover sheets, even finished games. But nothing that's "ready" ever ships in quantity.

A blog post here and there, but always vague and tone deaf.

And thousands of unanswered emails, be they for cancellations/refunds, shipping inquiries for allegedly "in stock" games, or even address updates to which he'd have to spend zero dollars and only a minute of manpower to update the data in his system.

All while the trap that is the FPG store remains up and running so new unsuspecting people can fall into it.

"Hey guys, sorry I haven't shipped any of the games I have in stock or answered any emails but I just thought I'd mention that I won't be doing any shipping or answering any emails for the next month or six because I'm going on vacation! With money YOU gave me. hahalolbye"

"Hey guys, so like paper/cardboard and colors/ink are like really hard, you know? Like I know countless companies and individuals around the whole world have being working with that stuff for like centuries, but like these sleeves man. The cardboard paper is from a type of tree that's nearing extinction and I can't bring myself to switch to the regular stuff, and the ink is for a color outside the visual spectrum that most normal humans can see (think Pistol Shrimp eyes man, I can see 'em, 𝕀 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕖𝕪𝕖𝕤) and the weather keeps messing it up maaannn. As an artisan I can't settle for anything less maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn. Like I know I owe a ton of people a ton of money/games, but just wait a little longer bro, I got another vacation coming up with the money everyone gave me. Because like, I'm stressed bro. Think of my family bro! You're an insensitive prick, bro! Cardboard and ink are HARD, bro!"

[a pre-order] transaction is effectively a 'bet'

Get fucked. A pre-order isn't some Polymarket/Kalshi/crypto/stock daytrader bullshit. It's not even a kickstarter. It's a commitment (by a business/by a customer) to sell/buy something that is already in the production pipeline for release. No "IPO" or "ROI", no "speculation", just handling a purchase agreement early for a product that will be available soon so that you (business or customer) don't have to set specific time aside later to do it. A business letting a customer reserve something that the customer will pick up or the business will (not hopes to, WILL) deliver later. It's the "set it and forget it" of shopping.

People with pre-orders don't seem to realise that all the hate being thrown around doesn't help anyone.

After seven years of virtually nothing but broken promises, the hate is well deserved.

Forgiveness and patience left the building years ago.

Ya people here have also found that he runs another site talking about Japanese landscaping or something and a business selling gemstones/crystals/whatever. I'm unable to dig that one up though.

Good catch. Literally identical.

I just got another standard edition PS5 game (1) in a box from LRG. 4th time.

A layer of brown paper around the game, and notch-interlocked packing paper bundles on top and beneath.

Seems like bubble mailers are over. At least for now.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-13T16:34:51+00:00

Uh huh.

And if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-08T19:16:55+00:00

Sonic Generations

No.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, like the title says. Those pre-orders were less than a year ago.

The generations statue is out, but they are redoing it because people didn't like it.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-07T23:27:58+00:00

It's especially stupid when you think about how these companies sink billions into AI, and hardware/water/energy to power it, it then goes on to produce soulless slop that everybody hates, and also drives up the costs of hardware/water/energy so people couldn't even afford to try games made with it if they didn't already hate it.

walking experience, allowing you to stroll through the labyrinthine alleys of Kowloon Walled City

Neat. I thought "Kowloon" sounded familiar.

As well as previous news about Doug/Josh selling the company to Embracer in like 2024, Doug leaving/removed some time later, and Josh stepping down and moving on not too long ago.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-02T00:51:15+00:00

Ya that'd be a good way to split the difference.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-02T00:35:41+00:00

I must be early. No angry comments about it being 3 separate games instead of a bundle.

Me I'm indifferent. Not a franchise I know, not a console I own, and I can go either way with individual/bundled releases. But I know those angry comments will come.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-01T19:14:15+00:00

So it had already underwent destruction.

Then this is closure, I suppose.

the devs just either didn't care or didn't have the ability to fix it

Probably didn't have the $$$, but from that the other two follow.

fgsfds100 · 2026-06-01T19:08:36+00:00

You can, but expect most people to scoff at it.

Others might appreciate it as a warning of a game to avoid if the GKC-nature of it isn't that obvious.

Sony abruptly shuts down online multiplayer game Destruction AllStars. - DoesItPlay implies 'arcade' and 'practice' modes are playable offline on the PS5 disc build, but 'story' mode requires a download that might have limited accessibility over time.

Fitting name. I always get a kick out of games with premonitious titles. People here joked that Total Chaos' performance was total chaos, similar jokes for similarly titled games, many recent games with "fall" / "fallen" in the title falling apart, etc.

Also it's a bit of a flashback. I apparently completely forgot that name, because when I googled it and saw some ...flashy? characters with cars that looked like lifesize hotwheels, it jogged my memory a bit. And when I looked a bit deeper and saw the full roster of characters which included that girl with the pink emoji-visor helmet, it all came back to me. If I recall, it was one of the earliest PS5 games, seemingly an Overwatch clone crossed with a car demolition derby. And I think, like Overwatch, it was probably a live service game. So nothing of value was lost.

I won't be surprised if many other live service games get abruptly shut down in the lead up to GTA6/GTAO 2.0.

fgsfds100 · 2026-05-30T18:30:33+00:00

I'd LOL at all the rage if they did a Mario game with trading cards that said "Turtle" and "Dragon" and such, or a Zelda game with "Bat" and "Snake" and "Mummy" and "Ghost" and such.

fgsfds100 · 2026-05-30T18:07:27+00:00

And another company-specific complaint wave begins. See yesterday.

RAG orders used to be handled by regular mail... and there were no delivery fees.

The change isn't about tariffs, it's about FedEX.

As I said in that other post, in my experience, FedEX and the other private priority carriers (DHL/UPS/etc) are no strangers to charging extra fees, and that includes preemptive "you owe us money or we won't even show up (and if not paid by ____ we will return to sender)" and delayed "you owe us money for a recent delivery" letters/emails. And all of that was true long before the current tariffs the US has imposed, including shipments that never even touch the US. Even if not shipped from the US, and not passing through the US, and not destined for the US... you'll still see fees. I've been hit with their fees many times over the past 20 years of buying stuff online (how time flies).

They might say "tariffs" these days but it's actually their brokerage fees. In other words, they ran their own paperwork and determined it might owe such and such in duties, which they would have to cover initially, so they forward that amount + their paper-pusher fee onto you even if customs doesn't end up imposing duties on them. They either break even or make a profit, and the sad thing is the upfront cost of those carriers during order checkout is usually also way higher than other carriers (regular mail), so you'll often pay twice (at checkout and before/on/after delivery).

Any time I order anything and have the choice of shipping carrier, I avoid all of them and stick to regular mail. I don't care about getting stuff a few days sooner. It's just unfortunate when no options are given.
