They should legally have to keep all their major mergers in their name. AOL-Time-Warner-Discovery-Netflix is far more representative of the nightmare times we live in.

Star Wars Outlaws targeted PS5/Xbox Series X and came out in 2024, Cyberpunk 2077 targeted PS4/Xbox One and came out in 2020. It’s really not a fair comparison.

Could they do it? Probably, but it would likely be a lot of work and significantly hurt performance, for what is an extra port anyways.

I appreciate the devs explaining this publicly. Personally I really liked the idea of game key cards as a replacement for codes in a box, but soured on it when we got codes in a box still AND most 3rd party releases using game key cards. This helps explain why so many devs have been opting for them and hopefully Nintendo rectifies the situation by allowing installs and offering faster cartridges.

I think it’s because the market changed around them. When the 3DS launched they were one of the only companies providing decent BC. Now, everyone does it and people expect games to actually play better on the new devices.

Still a surprise that Nintendo got the message, but with the dozen first party games that got free patches it was clear this was a new era for them. I’m playing Pokemon Violet right now after beating Scarlet a few years ago and it’s like a whole new game on Switch 2, all the performance issues are just gone.

That actor died just after they started production.

Yeah I just went looking for other reactions on Bluesky as this was shocking and really bothersome, but that was without the context. With it, it’s 10x worse.

I shouldn’t have had to dig replies deep into a different article to find this, shows what an insane chilling effect this current political climate has. This was 100% a hate crime and a targeted harassment campaign, and it’s not even mentioned.

Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside, you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals and rule you like a king!

A Simpsons joke from 31 years ago. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Also in 1998 Fox News Channel was barely established, it launched in October 1996 and only became popular much later.

They sewed UE5 graphics on to Gambryo everything else. It’s the pigeon-rat of video games.

It’s funny because you don’t even have to go that far to find examples of really poor space usage.

Final Fantasy VII has the entire game on each disc. Only the cutscenes are different between each disc, that’s why the natural breakpoint for the game after the party splits up was shifted, because the ending video was too big and required a disc by itself.

The second a developer doesn’t have to worry about something, they don’t. Give them 2TB NVMe, 5090, i9-14900k and 32GB of RAM, and suddenly that will all be at max utilization. But this isn’t a modern thing, it’s just one of many “necessity is the mother of invention” examples.

Another great example: Every modern desktop app and most mobile apps that just package & run an entire web browser for every single app. There is zero benefit to the user experience or resource utilization to use these sorts of tools, the only reason to do so is to allow code reuse & simplify development.
