Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

Chris Roberts is the person behind the star citizen scheme.

Best to move off nexusmods now that it’s owned by people with no interest in gaming or mods.

One would almost think they are having a laugh, but no it’s for real (I don’t think are intentionally trying to come up with such comically stupid naming policies).

The fallout CRT retro-arcade is awesome!

Crosswind looks promising, will need to add it to my tracking list.

Those PC88 screenshots! So damn beautiful, they ooze style.

Thanks for this!

It’s claimed that in addition to exploiting its dominant position, Sony bans other potential app stores from having access to the PlayStation platform.

It would be fascinating if this lawsuit forces Sony to open their platform to 3rd party stores. I am assuming they would be far more opposed to this than even any multi-hundred million euro fines.

That’s a compelling review. I will have to check it out.

I am surprised I’ve never heard of the game before, it’s been out since 2019.

I wasn’t aware. He is stepping down, but only after the company will be split into 3 parts.

Funny stuff!

Except for the fact that the CEO wasn’t fired even though he made a comically lazy and incompetent mistake (going on a buying spree before confirming that the investment would go through).

Never heard about this one. Thanks for sharing!

Sopuli is Finnish, some Euro community are on there, although there are many generic communities as well.

From the Risks and challenges section of their Kickstarter:

Our extensive network of trusted studios and partners further fortifies our ability to deliver on our promises and ensure the utmost quality for our project. Your support means the world to us, and we’re dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction throughout this journey.

Why didn’t they include the point about needing additional investment beyond their Kickstarter target for the project to be viable?

Volunteer PR work (including knowingly spreading misinformation) is extremely common for all fanboys, it’s a Nintendo specific thing.

EDIT: I meant to say it’s not a Nintendo only/specific thing. It’s true of all hardcore fanboys, even outside of game.

Diablo 1 and 2 were totally fine. There was no trash monetiziation around them (haven’t played the remaster of D2, so can’t speak for it).

This is a long series article on gacha. This is the third or the fourth one.

I can understand using a more broad definition of MMO due to changes in the market.

Is the “tool assist” not buying it in the first place? 😅

A very good point. :)

I like the graphics on this one. While I am a hardcore logistics/tycoon nerd, I do sometimes enjoy somewhat more casual experiences. :)
