Kind of a nothing article, but I say just let them cook. Baldur's Gate 3 was the game that pushed them into the spotlight better than any game they've made. And now people are going back to play their old games and realizing they are great games in their own right. They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it. You can't accomplish all that without feeling an immense amount of pressure. Even if the next game isn't on par with Baldur's Gate 3, I'm just glad they are still doing what they do.

I've never played it, so I wouldn't know. I'm just going off friends that play it and reputation.

Same with No Man's Sky. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but they buckled down and delivered on almost every promise that they failed on back at release. Not only that but every update since the game came out has been for free. Both No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk are fantastic games, and they were garbage on release. Bethesda has been doing the opposite approach and avoiding feedback from fans since Skyrim came out the first time.

So if a robot commits a war crime, they can just blame it on AI and call it a day, right? Sounds like an easy way to do whatever the fuck you want.

And they'll keep getting away with it as long as corporations are treated better than actual people. And you know they put shit like this in the agreements because they know nobody reads them. And every time we get complacent or blame someone else, it only gets worse.

I just like watching the couch sex guy say silly things. I just wish the things he says didn't have real world consequences.

Gross.

It's because the games are mid or worse. Took me one google search to find a plethora of games released in the last few years that had high budgets and sold very well. God of War: Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, Horizon: Forbidden West, Doom Eternal, Hogwarts Legacy, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, The Last Of Us Part II, and so many more. These are just the ones I played. Just because the only game you guys make is Fortnite after abandoning all your IPs and that your Epic Games Store money isn't as high as you thought it would be doesn't mean other people aren't making amazing games. It's just you, my guy. I consider myself a patient gamer and I've bought more full price games over the last 5 years than I ever have.

It's more about accessibility. It's not like they make the games anymore and the emulators they have on the Switch are lackluster. You could buy shit on eBay but if it's a super niche game it'd probably cost a lot of money. Money that doesn't go back to Nintendo. It's not like they're going to lose money for someone playing a super rare game on an emulator.

So... Almost every single video pre switch besides speed running videos? Where the fuck else are they supposed to play them? By the time "let's plays" we're popular on YouTube we were in the time of the Wii or even passed it. And even if they didn't emulate, they'd have to have bought the console off eBay where Nintendo makes zero money from the discontinued consoles. This is literally just control for the sake of control and it's why I hate Nintendo.

We're all against Windows. Fighting amongst ourselves is just gonna turn more people off Linux which is the opposite of what we want. If you're trying to get people to switch, the last thing you should do is shame them immediately afterward. They'll just go back to Windows where there's less of a stigma.

Not the same person, but I do a credit card. It's a lot easier to figure out a dispute with my card holder over PayPal. Plus I can cancel my credit card instantly instead of risking my personal information getting leaked as PayPal has done before. And if my PayPal got hacked they'd have access to more than just my credit card number.
