There was a brief time there where I thought even Xbox was doing pretty good shit. Backwards compatibility and the Xbox Adaptive Controller come to mind. With the latter especially, I feel like that was a lot of R&D for a relatively niche product. Nowadays, idk wtf they’re doing over there besides constantly fucking up.

CDPR did nothing wrong. PS4/XB1 were hobbled by hard drives.

The fuck kind of mental gymnastics is this? It was their choice to release it on those platforms so the consequences are their fault.

I say this as someone who bought this game at launch on PC and had a terrible time but then gave it another go 5 years later and loved it.

It really is quite amazing how fast its gone completely to shit. The site is so fucking slow so much of the time. I’ve started moving my projects one-by-one to a Forgejo instance I control, the main hurdle is just updating actions workflows to work there.

I don’t think that changes the fact that the correct amount to charge for general access to online games is $0. It doesn’t really matter how much you bundle with it, it’s still a scam to charge for it.

Terraria moment.

Yes, they are. If you want 60 FPS and a higher resolution in the two open-world Zelda games, you either need to pay more or have NSO + Expansion Pack. There is no justifiable reason for these to be bundled in with the “Zelda Notes” shit (that’s a smartphone app and not even part of the game).

I know that, I was speaking more generally.

Are we really calling tweaking a config file a “remaster” now? This is the bare minimum for a new console, IMO, and it is absurdly disgusting they thought some of these “upgrade packs” should cost money.

I agree.

Relevant GOG (25% off right now!) and Steam links.

There can be multiple problems worth fighting for at once. Gaming is an escape for many from the harsh reality we all live in and I also just generally think art should be preserved as much as possible.
