Never thought I’d see the day…

The problem isn’t capitalism, but all of the rules both explicit and implicit that benefit large companies over smaller companies.

The fact that the rules benefit those with more capital is a feature, not a bug, of capitalism

After what he did to those Amiibos I’m not so sure about that

Is Signalis considered cyberpunk?

Whoof, it’s now moved to “Overwhelmingly Negative”

Reviews repeatedly mention that it is hilariously buggy, to the point where players are constantly running into visual and gameplay bugs. Also a few complaints about features being changed/removed from the first one to be more similar to popular FPS trends

Early Minecraft was made by a single person and was in development for 2 years before it released (and had a fully playable game loop even before then).

SC has $700 million dollars, hundreds of devs and still hasn’t released anything as feature rich or playable as MC in 12 years. It’s fair for people to expect more at this point

I think you’re cooking here, maybe you can get a government grant to fund this

It’s very easy to make a mechanical clone of the game if someone wanted to play it.

This is purely about greedy crypto bros trying to grift off of Flappy Bird and using legal loopholes to steal the trademark

I think this is the patent IBM is suing over

Seems to be about pre-loading ads to a user’s device. As with most software patents, it sounds like the vaguest possible wording that covers about a million things

Card Crawl/Card Thief/Miracle Merchant are good puzzle-like games

C’mon dude, cartoon animals doesn’t cover the amount of suspiciously similar Palworld color schemes and proportions we’ve seen compared to Pokemon like Cobalion/Lilligant/etc

Better crossposting support. Web view shows you communities that something has been crossposted to and has an easy crosspost button. Would like to see the same in Sync

And then they’ll cancel anything they didn’t spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership

It was originally given away for free

Pixelfed is the federated alternative, not sure if it’s open source though

Boy this legally distinct gothic horror themed game that shares nothing in common with a popular Sony franchise sure looks like a fun time

Not so much as stopped feeling nostalgic for, but realizing that there weren’t as many great games available as I thought that haven’t had better successors or remakes. And for Nintendo consoles, non-Nintendo games that stand the test of time are difficult to find outside of a few franchises that usually have more modern versions on Switch.

We are just spoiled for choice these days when it comes to games, especially with indie games. And indies these days often have better UX than most mainstream games back then.

Aside from the fact that this is IGN, this amount of consolidation is really bad for the industry
