Seven months after its infamous launch, the Van Gogh Museum is restocking its popular Pokémon collaboration items -- and selling out fast.
Veteran game designer James Montagna is directing this new project and apparently has a new outlook on game design after teaming up with Nintendo
The game in question appears to be dubbed Auroria on Steam, which shares a plethora of similarities with Palworld.
No offense but Palworld isn't that original either, with that said… ew Tencent no thank you. I love the survival genre but all these half baked early access games have ruined the genre for me.
>Palworld isn't that original either
Can't disagree with that, but it did spin the Pokemon dynamic in a unique way, you gotta give Pocketpair that. Now by doing so, prepare for a ton of Palworld clones, both on PC and mobile.
True, but big pocket people pushing out little pocket people is a huge problem. It's Walmart of the digital world.
Not much that can be done though. Tencent been making clones of what's popular for a while. I don't touch anything they make, except for Don't Starve but i bought that before Klei sold themselves to the devil.
@Inverno: There's a lot that can be done, actually. Just no one is willing to do it. Anti-competitive/monopoly laws literally exist for this exact reason. Governments are just letting big corporations do whatever they want.
I've had issues with EA for years. I don't really buy their games and if I do it's pre owned. Mostly sports titles for one of my sons.
I loved Mass Effect and if you had asked me in 2007 if the series would turn into what Andromeda was I would've said you are crazy but that's exactly what happened.
When Deadspace hit I was blown away and shocked EA was involved but I didn't question it I just enjoyed this rare gem from an otherwise by the numbers company. Fast forward to part 3 and again they destroyed another game that had so much potential.
They love to force multi player modes into games that don't need them. They buy up companies and then gut them.
The amount of money they waste is astonishing. It's like they are in a contest to see how bloated a budget can get. The waste blows my mind and then they try to guilt customers by saying games are so expensive to make and that's why there's season passes, day one DLC, loot crates/boxes etc.
I say if they can't make fun engaging games and make a profit like so many others do then maybe they should try something else.
I've been done with them for years but it seems now with all the fallout from the disaster Battlefront 2 was many more are starting to see them for what they are!
What if Konami isn’t evil? What if Konami & EA just needed a hug? 😂
Sympathy for the Devil? EA make even the devil look good in comparison.
What if websites started writing real articles that weren't clickbait?
EA confused their ways. They forgot that such industry is about fun and client satisfaction. Their intention to monetize and get quick gains got them out of touch with the gaming community.
EA politics will ruin them on the long run of they don't change their politics and their policies. EA continues to destroy great ideas such as Battlefront 2. They abandoned Mass Effect franchise and now they probably will do the same with Anthem.
What sympathy could anyone have for a company that devours great talent, wastes a lot of money on the wrong direction and exploits the player with gambling through loot boxes?
EA directive must be changed and reevaluated from the ground up. Their greed and ambition are murdering great projects and development teams. The attitude they have is not redeemable at all. They try to weasel out the exploitation of their customers who pays them their salary. Each year they harvest gripe, hate and disdain with their decisions.
Instead of delivering fun they try to force profits through a process that hurts the game, developers and the gaming community. Their toxic business strategies must change or these will end up destroying the whole company. I'm glad that many is calling them out for their fiasco.
The gaming community is starting to be aware of these companies adopting one voice against gambling, pay to win, pay walls, grinding, fractured DLCs and unfair prices of incomplete unpolished products. EA took the first beating and if they don't stop the gaming community will boycott them. Take 2, Activision and Ubisoft got away with that long time ago, if these companies doesn't soften up with their policies, the gaming community will continue getting stronger with their boycotts.
We don't sympathize with the devil, with EA's greed, with these companies' ploys, scams, racketeering and their frauds. Many of us are not going to sympathize with companies who takes advantages of kids, enthusiasts and fans. EA must understand that.
As an example to be mentioned Guerrilla Games proved to be the exact opposite providing a great game at a fair price, endless support and a satisfying DLC. Companies who cares for the player, provides a fair treatment and delivers quility must be the ones staying in the business. They earned their place unlike those other companies who tries to grab money in a desperate manner without a fair amount of delivery.
SImple.
