I’m sure I remember when PA was first announced it was the first ludicrously overpriced game for early access, and they said the reason was that they only wanted people truly invested in the game to give feedback. It was a clear attempt at a money grab from those most excited. Given this is the same people I’m not surprised by their tactics.
No harm in messaging them just to say thank you.
If you’ve just stepped out of uni into an internship you still have a lot to go, but getting through college, uni and into an internship is an achievement in itself. They won’t be disappointed, they will probably be proud that the work they did encouraged you to stay in education for as long as you did!
This is well deserved. When the game first launched I could tell something was off about it. It obviously had a dreadful launch.
I can’t remember how many years later I was in the mood for a space exploration and saw NMS had an update. I grabbed it for about £8. Since purchasing it seeing constant substantial updates has been amazing. Every time one comes out I think “Ok guys, you’ve redeemed yourselves, you’re allowed to stop now!”
I like to work on a £1 per hour with my games, I’ve played 85 hours (I know, rookie numbers compared to what some people have) and I’m really pleased with my purchase.
Seeing the pride they have in their game and the efforts they have gone to to make the game they wanted and the lessons Hello Games have learnt, it leaves me looking forward to Light No Fire.
I enjoyed Anthem’s concept, the problem was that it was incomplete. The problem with live service games is that their primary objective is to make as much money as possible with minimal effort.
Anthem had potential, but it was ditched by EA.
I too can vouch for one of these. Great for removing a lot of fur. Anything left over I have to use a lint roller.
Sure, but we had Bonzi Buddy too. These days the best we can hope for is some AI that tells us to eat rocks.
This is a US website no?
My employer has already been putting measures in place to what seems to be potential loopholes. Hybrid working was bundled as part of “flexible working”, they have separated it out into a different terminology. The term Flexible Working is now purely for those who want to change their hours like removing a day once a week and getting paid less, or moving hours from one day into the other 4.
A large number of companies are pushing to get people to RTO and I get the feeling these workers rights won’t counteract that.
I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you’ve got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.
I’m guessing the top management didn’t learn that crunch is perceived negatively and doesn’t always yield quality results. I’m so glad I never backed this game all those years ago.
This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.
You’ll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!
What annoys me is you still have to pay for audio books.
The true goal of Brexit, to hoard all our tea 🧐
It’s not the destination but the journey. In that 360 turn you may have looked inwards and at your past, identified failings of the past or remember things you forgot about that you loved. When you reach that 360 point you’re more aware of what has been and may have a different outlook on what could be. Or something like that…
Have production costs increased or has marketing/publishing costs gone up dramatically as gaming attempts to get a greater demographic and introduce predatory monetisation methods? Tools and techniques for game development surely improve over time making development easier and more cost effective.
Unfortunately it excludes a great deal of gen x and millennials as well who may have voted remain.
I feel like the excitement is the same for everyone. It’s a whole new beginning and so we don’t have the excitement we had going from Shadowbringers into Endwalker. I’m setting my expectations low and hoping for the best.
It sucks. A lot of businesses, not just in game development, are getting rid of contractors as they’re expensive. I hope those contractors successfully find work soon.
Is the free plan once a fortnight with even more marketing pamphlets thrown through the door?
