How the hell does one 'fill up' cyberspace?

Too much porn, I guess.

JasonXE5464d ago

i think porn takes up 80% of it.

PirateThom5464d ago

Server capacity, line capacity, limited number of possible IP addresses.

There's a lot of variables that could, theoretically, fill up cyberspace, but it's not like people are just sitting back waiting to see what happens.

Well, eventually going over to IPv6 will help alot, but the infrastructure itself is going to need a lot of money for upkeep and have most people on somewhat equivalent playing grounds.

To me, I can see a future where each of us pay for our own internet usage. Not in flat rate for whatever we want, but for what we use. To me, digital information transfer is quickly becoming a utility - something that is required, but heavily regulated. I think if the day ever comes that it is fully treated as a utility, then we will end up paying for what we use, much like we do with electricity and water. The ISP's will then be allowed to charge up by the GB, but are regulated enough to not be allowed to gouge us. And it would also probably curtail some of the senseless bandwidth usage that exists today.

Not that I particularly want that to happen, but I could definitely see that eventually happening.

So much for the digital distribution idea that everyone has been tossing around. And I guess this goes triple for On-Live.

One would have thought a massive statement would have been issued around the world entitled; "OMG!!! WE R RUNNING OUT OF THE INTERNETS!!! LIKE OILZ!!!!!1111"

Don't believe everything you read. This smells fishy to me.

this is the same thing they said ten years ago... and the ten before that.

I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.

gold_drake4h ago

u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?

Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.

he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.

hes just a humble guy rly.

shadowhaxor4h ago

I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.

Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.

I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤
