Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
yeh i mean, we know its not because ff16. cause sony paid for the exclusivity.
its because of everything else
their nft bs
first soldier bombing
chocobo racing hombing
crystal cronicles not doing as well as they hoped
forespoken sorta bombing
kingdom hearts 4 is still in development and the mobile game too
its all of their side hustles just not doing well, outside of ff7 remake ha.
Damn Nintendo you know what to do.
My only hope is they see that changing Final Fantasy to appeal to non-Final Fantasy fans and the success of turn-based RPGs like Persona and Baldur's Gate 3 makes them try to make a game their long-running fans have been begging for.
Final Fantasy 16 was not it. I understand it has a bunch of fans and it's not a terrible game, but I literally went back and played FF 1-6 Pixel Remaster, FF9 HD Remaster, and Im currently on FF10 HD Remaster and it's maybe some of the most fun I've had with gaming in a few years. These classic games blow away anything that's come after them.
I mean just give it a shot Square, it can't perform any worse than 16.
And yes, this isn't squarely (pun-intended) on FF16, but we also had Forspoken, Valkyrie Elysium, DioField Chronicles, Star Ocean, and a bunch others underperform.
My biggest fear is them cancelling Front Mission Remake titles... god that would be a kick to the taint from them. But I know the first one sold like steaming diarrhea.
I think the problem with FF16 is how the gameplay differs from past versions and how it might turn down some previous fans.
