HPP: Don’t start sending the industry down a dark road, Bethesda. You should be able take your time to fix bugs, add features, polish things up and craft something you can feel justifiably proud of. Let us do the same.
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.
If they didn't play favorites, I wouldn't think this was so bad.
These journalist are salty that they can't rush out their clickbait reviews early. That's really why so many sites are crying foul.
If you want feedback and impressions, don't buy it day one. Simple. Just wait.
I don't know if I honestly care , the reality is if somebody truly wants a game but is worried about the quality they could simply wait for the review embargo to be lifted, I always see this as a first-world problem because exactly who is forcing anyone to purchase this on the very first day of release?
I don't remember the last time a review has ever influenced me to ever purchase a game or not purchase a game
I like the precedent, I hope more developers follow suit. I hope that voice actors union collapses under their own stupidity as well. These idiots think they are a valuable part of the industry, enough to make demands and threaten publishers. In reality they are becoming more useless by the day. We don't need these middlemen anymore. Certainly in no position to lecture or make demands.
I don't buy games based on reviews. I feel people should go in blind and experience and form their own opinions. I get some people like to read and get the general consensus on how it plays. If I do this I usually end up fixating on a problem that stood out to them and I don't enjoy it that much.
