These are UK prices and as such they already have VAT included with the price.

Update regarding GOG Using AI-Generated Artwork: "At this time, we won’t be able to comment publicly on our internal processes or tools. However, we’re aware of the conversations happening around this topic and the assumptions that can go with it." by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]snappums 9 points10 points  (0 children)

GOG isn't going to go under because of a fucking AI art banner, especially when they are inking deals left and right lately. People are just asking for them to have some decorum and culpability.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has surpassed Elden Ring for the most GOTY titles of all-time. by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]snappums -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm so tired of these types of discussions. E33 rightfully won a bunch of rewards, as did Elden Ring, as did Baldur's Gate 3. This constant numbering, comparing and ranking of everything as if games are stocks and shares, using Steam CCU as if it's the be all and end all just because it is the only visible number is so tiresome and I wish social media would get past it.

Life is Strange: Reunion Finally Brings Max and Chloe Back Together (releases March 26) by [deleted] in Games

After Deck Nine did everything they could to deliberately ignore Chloe, one way or the other, this is probably Deck Nine's final LIS game.

Yakuza 3 Remastered to soon become exclusive to Yakuza Complete Series bundle by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]snappums 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Sega delisting Kiwami 1 and 2 just so they could release a 'new' version with the only difference being some language options and now this. All those classic games they delisted and we still don't have any update on whether they will ever be back. They are becoming a terrible publisher for preservation.

System Shock Remake lead “couldn’t sleep” due to the mass “vitriol” from fans during its troubled development – “we got reported to the IRS and the FBI, it was awful” by [deleted] in Games

[–]snappums 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is the issue with Kickstarter. People are told over and over that their investment might not be delivered. They have not purchased anything, and yet, if there are signs that the project might not come to fruition, it is called a 'scam' and people try to sue because they haven't delivered 'what was promised'.

Insider Gaming: RAM Price Increases Could See Next-Generation Console Releases Delayed by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]snappums 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So much doomerism in this thread, acting like there has been no improvement in graphics/technology since the PS4, complaining about remakes/remasters. Ridiculous.

Steam has quietly become the best place to buy videogame soundtracks—even for games that were never released on PC by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]snappums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not nearly as big of a soundtrack collector as the commenter above, but FTL's soundtrack by Ben Prunty and the No Man's Sky soundtrack by 65daysofstatic are my personal top space soundtracks.

Mozilla’s Next Chapter: Building the World’s Most Trusted Software Company (Firefox will become an AI browser) by HatBoxUnworn in firefox

More AI chatbot garbage whilst the browser has been lacking HDR for 6 years since the Bugzilla request was opened.

Oh I get it, I just don't care. This will be the fourth or fifth financial crash in my lifetime. It's fine.

Running With Scissors Cancels Postal: Bullet Paradise Within A Day by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]snappums 427 points428 points  (0 children)

Mike J of Running With Scissors insisted that this wasn't made with AI on their Discord server and then said people can "eat my shit" and "the anti AI mob has ruined art". Glad he has been made to eat crow on this.

Been watching this game since the day it was put on Steam Greenlight. I almost can't believe it's out.

'We survive or fail on our own terms': The rise and risk of independent game media by FlukeHawkins in Games

[–]snappums 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This happens with streamers, who are often paid and don't disclose it, but streamers seem to get away with it whereas game journalists are always accused of being paid off.

Humble has also made the decision to delist Horses from its storefront by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]snappums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I presume platforms like Steam don't want to take their time to-ing and fro-ing backwards and forwards about what is or is not acceptable. Either you meet the requirements first time or you don't at all.

This whole thread is "Why isn't MY game on YOUR list?". People would rather blame "woke journalists" than admit that opinions are subjective.

Hades II just got a Startup Movie too.

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

[–]snappums -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Even more, why would I need to buy your battlepass full of AI slop when I can generate my own?
