I guess my plan to hold out for the Pro to see if the regular console drops in price isn’t going to work.

Automatics start in park

It’s a wet morning and the inside of your windshield is fogged up. (Or it’s cold and there’s frost on the inside)

That’s insane. Starting in neutral is arguably safer.

I’m saying that if there aren’t enough players to sustain a multiplayer game globally you’re not going to find people to play with locally.

If it wasn’t for hundreds of people likely losing their jobs it would be really funny that Sony’s greedy, cynical attempts to cash in on the live service fad keep failing

People can barely find anyone to play with globally over the internet. It wouldn’t work as a lan game.

Really interested in this but would rather wait for a full release - just wanted to thank you for posting on Lemmy as well as Reddit. Everything about this project seems so sincere and I’m not used to that with new apps

More expensive than WoW and FFXIV, and those games let you have a bunch of characters on the same sub. Amazing business move

Dead service games

Within months of Craven’s introduction of Banks, Craven claimed Banks had been hospitalized after dropping a KitchenAid mixer on her foot, according to both an anonymous former business associate of Craven’s I spoke to, and my own past conversations with Craven. Several hours later, her leg was allegedly amputated, and nearly 48 hours after the first operation, her other leg was amputated as well.

How did nobody realize this person was lying or fake? Double amputation from a broken foot?

It’s likely that Concord’s lifetime peak will be lower than Deadlock’s closed beta peak

It sucks because Windblown looked cool but now I don’t want to support it.

Stardew Valley has really good multiplayer now. Might scratch some of that Minecraft and Terraria itch.

At least a banned account can still lurk without any of the restrictions you face when you aren’t logged in. It’s what I’ve been doing.

And yeah the hacked app was probably what got you banned. Heard it quite a few times. Might not be because of the app itself but because your modified version messed with Reddit’s device fingerprinting and you got flagged as being somehow related to a large number of other banned accounts. They’ve cranked the ban evasion filter up to 11 in the last few years and it’s insanely easy to get flagged now.

Careful if you have any Reddit alts. This particular moderator has the ban evasion filter set to the highest sensitivity on all of his subreddits (it’s a Reddit feature that flags suspected alts of banned users based on account details and device fingerprinting) and will report every case of suspected ban evasion to the admins. They normally don’t care but will look into it if a mod reports it. If you accidentally post on any of his subreddits with an alt the admins will permanently ban all of your accounts.

I came into it off the high of Hades so it felt pretty empty to me.

I didn’t care for the game much at launch and bounced off it, great idea but none of the systems were very developed. Combat specifically was very watered down.

Is it worth coming back now that it’s had a bunch of updates?

Valve is probably perfectly happy with just making sure proton compatibility is good. They don’t expect developers to change their whole workflow to cater to the Deck, that’s why they’ve done so much work with proton.

I think the most realistic alternative is to just have an ‘earliest end-of-life date’ plainly visible at the time of purchase. Keeping these games online forever isn’t feasible, but shutting down something people paid for with the expectation of continuous service isn’t good either. Just make it clear how long the developers WILL support the game for, at the very minimum, and let people make their decision based on that. And mandate refunds for any live service game that doesn’t last as long as promised.
