The irony of Tim Sweeney's crusade against Ai declarations on Steam is exactly why Epic and its vibe-coded app were never serious competition for Steam. Ai declarations are listening to the customer. Hiding that information is a disservice to the customer. It's really that simple.

Im old enough to remmeber when we all hated EA for their predatory monetization and overt fuckery with game studios. (They were voted worst company in the us two years in a row) Its crazy how many people bend over backwards now to lick those same boots.

If you think Bioware only just became woke you've never played a damn Bioware game. Ffs they wrote religious panic articles about gay characters in da: origins. Private equity killed Bioware. And it'll kill your favorite studio too.

This is such crap. Can't sell ultimate team gamba Mass Effect and remake the game every year with roster updates, so why keep Bioware, I guess.

BREAKING: BioWare is shutting down and the next Mass Effect game is canceled, according to a new report. https://bit.ly/4ibWCiC

What MMO or RPG has your favorite Soundtrack? There's probably a lot of recency bias here for me and because I love how bittersweet it feels but Expedition 33 hit spectacularly hard for me.

Awesome announcement, can finally play with some friends who weren't in the beta. The entire @iii-initiative.bsky.social showcase was great.

So the framing of this as "these rpgs are beneath my maturity" is pretty bad. The chosen one story doesnt have an age limit. Its ok to not like things and its good to want to do things differently but disparaging such a foundational trope just makes you seem like a pompous ass.

"Sorry we got caught trying to be cheap." The third-party excuse and restating their own policies on AI that would have prevented in the first place is getting tired. Treating art like profit-first-products will inevitably lead to them being treated like profit-first-products

If you need to use slurs or "edgey" names whos entire purpose is to be hurtful in your mmo name you've really gotta grow the fuck up man. That was stupid at 13 its a cry for help at 35.

I'm excited about this trilogy but also just really wish they would reach outside of the Skywalker Saga. There is *so* much out there you could adapt or create around.

Disney has reportedly picked Spider-Man director Jon Watts to helm the first movie in Simon Kinberg's new Star Wars trilogy as it plots out the next chapter in the Skywalker Saga. https://bit.ly/4yiAvOi

American healthcare is such crap. $300 to possibly $900 in surprise medical bills for preventive care that was supposed to be covered by insurance but now apparently isn't covered by insurance. We need medicare for all ffs, and at the very least, up front pricing immediately.

I swear they just look at numbers on a board, throw a dart and make cuts with the only people granted immunity being the damn c-suite. "Short term profit" being the guiding factor in a decaying capitalist society is screwing over everything.

Authors: stop using gen ai in your book covers and marketing. Ffs. If you're using it there I imagine your book is gen ai crap too. "I can't afford an artist" is not an excuse. Make it your damn self instead of stealing. Doodle stick figures and id be more likely to buy your book.

"We want to be know for poor planning and time management as well as an antagonistic relationship with the people actually making the games because we do not value their labor nor them as people."

More of this to haunt my dreams

RIP Lukas. 😔 Gone too soon. ❤️‍🩹 This moment from @redbeardflynn.bsky.social and Bibianski’s stream made us laugh so hard our video guy had to pay tribute. #indiegame #rpg #medieval #gaming

I've been making MMO and RPG content on Youtube for about 5 years. Across those two channels I've now hit 14 million views. It's...incredibly humbling to think of that. That that many people took the time to click a thumbnail of mine and listen to me yammer on about a hobby I'm passionate about.

Its wild how eager people are to be negative around anything. Theres plenty of real life day to day shit to be negative about. "Someone told me the combat is bad" is certainly a choice to focus all your energy on.

Really glad to see such positive reactions to Zero Company that are mirroring my experience. This game still feels really under the radar but if you like turn-based combat and Star Wars you really gotta check it out.
