I hope the devs find quick work as painlessly as they can, as Wildlight will likely lose funding from Tencent and shut down. I hope all the C Suite execs leave the industry.

.hack//SIGN is so fucking special and a very good chunk of it is that the "trapped in an MMO world and percieving it as physical in a way that the rest of the cast does not" is not framed as empowering or fantastical, but as an immediate and troubling sign of dissociation

Thinking very much about how good the end of the 1st episode of .hack sign is. Following this mystery of who this person is and why they're so distantly hostile to others, the clear grief and fear they're processing, this bug of reality constantly coming at them and them adamantly rejecting it.

Every time I see cool accessories for D&D and big elaborate productions I can't help but think about how free this game actually is. You do not need huge set pieces. You do not need a TV mounted in your table. This game is free.

You may enjoy these things and believe it really helps elevate your experience, and I don't doubt that, but the consumerism and accessorizing market surrounding it just feels a little gross to me.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

The fucking stupid take on this is, sure, games are "cheap." But 1) Most companies subsidize this with cutting content for DLC, rushing development times, general shitty practices. 2) more people are spending more in the industry than ever before. Games used to be a luxury hobby item.

That's not even getting into the fact that games back then would have so much physical hardware that needed to be manufactured, and transport logistics was the SOLE means of distribution. Yes, games cost a lot back then. They got more popular though as third party resellers made them cheaper.

The industry is burning out because it's fucking stupid to think studios with 1000 people working on one AAAA Game will lift the boats, then blame poor metrics and layoff 200 employees who were only following board executive orders for a saturated market.

Sure, have a game cost $100, but don't then have deluxe dlc passes and need 6 patches for it to be presentable. Or, hear me out, examine why more and more indie/smaller games are thriving more than the Xbox live golden era of indies.

This thing can't play Xbox games, btw. It can only play PC ports of Xbox games. It is just small gaming PC tablet with handles

I mean this will my whole heart: when the people who enjoy video games stopped being in charge of them, everything literally got worse. I feel like the biggest neckbeard saying Gamers™ should be in control, but to an extent I think that's exactly it.

It is just incredible how hilariously out of touch Xbox's leadership team is. www.gamespot.com/articles/exc...

This is honestly really great. I love Azumi Takahashi's new stuff dearly, but Yumi Kawamura's original stuff is so iconic and great, I was bummed there wasn't anything new from her in Reload

To break it down further: Day One games will only be on Ultimate. Premium members will get titles "within a year." Basically lost most my incentive to keep paying monthly for Xbox.
