The gamers yearn for the mines.

That doesn't need AI, just some kind of tagging/mapping system either automated or manual.

Kingmakers vs Tank Castle

Not surprised to see it doing okay, but I wonder for how long.

It feels a lot like a middling entry in the COD franchise, but being free-to-play is a big advantage for it.

It's not that simple for everyone. Some of the studios that wound down in the last year did so because they couldn't find funding from publishers, due to the general lack of investment. It's not easy to run a games company with no outside investment whatsoever.

Stop, he's already dead.

Steampunk Sea of Thieves. Very interesting.

I had forgotten this existed and I thank you for reminding me of it.

Imagine porn without any sex scenes.

To be fair, all of that is in COD and that's a full priced game (at least the multiplayer aside from Warzone).

Not that weird. It's basically cheesy beans on toast.

It's true it does cost to keep things running. But like you say there are ways around this to push server costs onto players, or simply allow offline play with online features disabled.

I think if there were legislation in place then design decisions would adapt. If it were costly to just shut a game down abruptly, there would be player hosted options in place from the start and ideally less spurious "always online" requirements woven into the fabric of every game.

I'm trying to read this title but I think I'm having a stroke.

Depressant or stimulant (except that one stimulant)

When someone comissions a painting, they choose the subject and that's about it. Sure if they didn't like it they might not pay, but that's probably already more hands off than any publisher in the games industry.

I don't think that's allowed. Even if it is her birthday.

Nobody could possibly predict that. It's impossible to see past [current quarter].

Those are some pixels alright

In life you either cry, laugh, love or succumb to raging nationalism.

Nice range of colours!

I'm so annoyed at the timing of this, I'm in a place far enough north to get decent views of it in winter (but it is always cloudy). Right now we don't get full night so at 1am, the peak of darkness, it wasn't super visible.
