The only exception I make is used consoles since I know they hate that the used market exists. Even then, they haven’t really put out anything worth getting since ps2.

Sony doesn’t only make games.

That’s what you get when you don’t want to pay people for their work and try to keep teams together. The newbies aren’t going to care about the rich history of the games they’re banging out code for at 3 AM on a Saturday.

At the very least every single streamer in the world is going to buy it to cash in on the media storm. Then fomo kicks in and they make a billion minimum. They could be constantly publicly sacrificing puppies from now to release and it wouldn’t have an effect on that sales floor.

Can’t tell if joke or legit misunderstanding.

Which is a lot of recent games, which is why the push for preservation.

That’s even worse than I thought.

Wondering what they meant by “agenic” AI, I looked up the definition of agenic. It is “relating to agenesis.”

Okay, so I look up agenesis. “Any imperfect development of the body, or any anomaly of organization.”

…

Yeah, so I’m still wondering what they meant by agenic AI.

All the story DLC ended up being modified for online.

Retire, too old to be hired, tomayto tomahto.

That’s because copyright and trademark are more specific than patents. You have to use the exact look to be in violation. Patents are more of a vibes protection. You can sue for close enough.

Pretty sure there’s prior art on that now.

Sometimes you just want to admire your collection.

Just redefine your timescale. If you eat the whole thing by yourself over a week, you’ll probably be fine. Probably.

You mean the guy that is president right now, while this is happening, that is doing nothing about it because he’s too busy dealing with his pedophile rape escapades becoming public knowledge?

There is another saying that uses ‘from the river to the sea’ and ‘decolonize’ is not in it. I think that might be the dog whistle they’re talking about.

And probably would have if it wasn’t being manipulated by speculators.

The vast majority of games require being online at least once to run. This is enough of a loss if function to be considered unusable.

They haven’t so far.

Still would be EU only.

Sadly the good guys retired and left the company with the rats.

It’s not unrelated to the puritanical thing. Otherwise they wouldn’t be afraid of losing money facilitating payments for porn.

May as well enjoy it while it lasts. Like Moviepass.

One of the theories behind this game’s price is Microsoft is trying to force more people onto the premium game pass.

So if we assume the world is a magical place where poor people don’t exist, it makes perfect sense.

The idea of a puzzle rougelike is intriguing.

What else does Game Freak even make?

It’s not meant to be a rote memorization game. That sort of feature is meant to enhance the true point of the game.

A game they make for children, btw.

Unfortunately, at least in the US (and from the sound of it, probably Japan), the patent office has the viewpoint of ‘patent everything and let the courts sort them out.’ The courts, on the other hand, defer to the patent office because ‘it’s they’re job so they must know what they’re doing.’

That’s probably Richard Garfield’s fault for setting precedent with his collectable card game patent.

Why would I quit my dream job? Getting paid so sit doing nothing is my life long goal.

I don’t like it, though.

I guess I’ll just skip this generation like with the WiiU.
