I’m a PC player but I always wonder when people have this take. I dislike, hugely, their treatment of fans in the preservation space. However, as a company they seem to not do big layoffs, rarely buy companies or IP, and have a history of leadership falling on their swords (financially) during hard times to keep their employees.

I don’t dislike them as a whole because of those elements that are dead at large.

I could be wrong, I’m not deeply knowledgable outside of a handful of articles over the years.

I would rank Microsoft way worse though and I used to be in their ecosystem as a big fan. Biggest pusher of owning nothing.

If it can be done in the goaled 25, that would be great. Ubisoft has a history of making their games take way too much time for my liking. It all starts to overstay its welcome.

I saw this like a year ago when it went into early access. It looks like fun if they can iron out the performance issues.

I would definitely organize a movie and game night around this.

You both asked and answered your question, wrapped in “we”. I’m not doing a thing. I won’t yuck other peoples yum though who find importance in it all. Perhaps being a piece of the historical aspect you mention is also important for some.

For myself, I do appreciate that some preservation groups are digitally filling up hard drives. I could be wrong, but it feels more sustainable.

Remember, they thought it was okay to release the Switch version.

Yeah, but no one will hop on irc or mumble to hang out these days.

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

I recently encountered a song I could only stream but not buy anywhere without DRM. Kinda wild because it has over 5 million YouTube views.

If anyone knows how the buy Slow Song by The Knocks, lmk.

The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn’t a company that is going under, so it shouldn’t be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I’m pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.

The recent London video from three weeks ago is approaching 400k views. Searching Fallout 4, “10 Hidden Mechanics in Fallout 4” from a day ago has 250k views.

I’m stoked for London but I think most people are just pumping it up from the show. Which is good because I just finished the show and I need more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they assigned another studio to make another Fallout already.

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

While true I don’t think these studios deaths are going to make that happen. I think what we are likely to see is other large studios start making those games. I’m betting Obsidian gets another crack at it.

I’m actually more interested in what other studios would do anyways. Fallout 4 is less interesting than New Vegas and Fallout 3 was, while still being very good and fun, not as depth filled as the two before.

I even still think Oblivion, while showing its smaller scale and less resources, was often more imaginative than Skyrim.

Your positivity is appreciated, and your right. I really wish things would turn around. It’s gotten so silly to hear a company head talk about passion when they are vampires. Redfall vampires.

To be fair if the blockbuster superhits are actually good that would be fantastic. And focusing more on fewer titles could achieve that. As long as they aren’t just laying people off for the hell of it.

I can’t think of a way this is good. Large titles are already happening and we’re already getting good games in them.

I don’t think less small fish helps. It’s not creating some sort of brain drain to also make small titles. I suspect it’s your last sentence for a lot of people, just laying people off. Imagine making a killer title like Hi-Fi and then losing your job because a suit needs number go up.

I’m using Mint and new to it. Does the Mint app store have more security or scrutiny? I’m cautious as most things are lucky to have one or two reviews listen. Many are zero though and it’s not quite clear to me yet how to tell if things are from an official source or if they had review.

When it centers it there it often is delayed. So I will drag my mouse to my second window, usually Firefox, and it will suddenly jump centered to the game.

Oh snap!

Haha

I’m not knocking it, but I feel like you really wanted to use this image somewhere. 😁👍

I read the article. It’s just that the box is in the back of the image. Everyone expects it for Xbox. Putting it in back makes sense.

Also this is dumb. I was expecting to see exclusive content or someone worth being upset over.
