I mean… The 3D idea was pretty cool, and it worked surprisingly well, but I realistically never used it other that for fun occasionally.

I’ve just hacked and started reusing my old 3DS and it’s great fun! Can download most games abs cool hacks/mods to modify them.

Is this able to hook up with the same software as 3DS so I could do the same on it?

Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.

Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.

Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour

We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.

To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.

I don’t know how universal it is, but movie tickets here have at least tripled since I was a kid, 20 odd years ago.

Meanwhile, me and 4 friends pooled our pocket money together to buy a video game that we could barely afford. Brand new video games are the same price now.

I’m not saying “they should increase their price”, but it is wild how somehow they haven’t in decades

Wait, some devs get to choose what they work on?

I assume that’s $200k a year and not straight $200?

Neo lib western ideals have toxic “personal responsibility” as a virtue.

Everything is your own fault, there are no external influences, pull yourself up by your bootstraps…

OH WAIT! Did my friends multi billion dollar company make many stupid decisions that will cost potentially everything? Better bail them out with the the publics money and tell everyone to not buy fancy things, like a TV or fridge, if they want to get survive.

I feel like I should know this, as a I’ve been a pc gamer and extra legal aquirer for several decades… But I’m not actually sure what DRM means?
