"Now what?"

Admittedly, I'm guilty of buying EA because there have been dry periods in the GameDev pipeline and I was desperate for something new, but I'm okay with it for smaller devs that don't have the budget for the kind of QA that bigger devs do. That said, the fact that some of these games have been in EA for over a decade (putting aside whether or not they're effectively a functional product at this point) is a pretty egregious abuse of the community goodwill, and bigger developers shouldn't be using it at all because it's encouraging the trend of pushing out buggy messes with 60GB day-1 patches that still don't make a game playable.

Honestly just because of the shit Wizards has put in their books, making it AL Legal (Looking at you, Silvery Barbs) I am way more inclined to allow homebrew at my table as long as it's not as egregiously overpowered as their own shit. KibblesTasty, Laserllama, and Valda's all tend to get a pass from me.

Hell no, I have a little more respect for my time than that.

I feel like his goose is already cooked. Now, the rest of the MAGA republicans who are wrapped up in the conspiracy? I'd love to see those fuckers get what they deserve.

If you're fine with any genre, I've found Survivorlikes to be a good bit of time killing fun on the Deck. Vampire Survivor is the obvious choice, but Halls of Torment is a much more polished interpretation with the look and feel of classic dungeon crawlers like Diablo.

There's also the AA scene to consider. Nacon did a fantastic job with the RoboCop game - it doesn't break any new ground, but it's a simple, solid game that captures the tone of the RoboCop franchise well.

I mean, the problematic part here is that they take the model in the first place, or at least that all signs point to that being the case. Sure, you can coldsteel the hell out of an existing character, but if you're using an asset you didn't develop and didn't license to make a product that you then sell for money, no matter how different the end result looks from the original, that is absolutely infringement. It's infringement that might have gone unnoticed had the models been more sufficiently edited, but at the end of the day it's the theft of someone else's labor.

I don't know if that's what happened here, but when the industry professionals say it's hard to get model proportions that close even moving the same asset into a different engine, and the whole roster is uncannily similar? If it looks like a duck...

There are artists who disagree. They're saying the proportions are identical to models used in Pokemon Violet/Scarlet.

Doesn't it literally use stolen pokemon assets?

Yeah, this isn't like the hotel thinks its food is unsafe to eat, this is just acknowledging that the customer wanted their beef cooked below safe standards.

Isn't this usually covered by a disclaimer on the menu though?

Would it be less bot-like to say "My goodness, is it 4:30? I'm supposed to be having a back, sack and crack."

Choice! It's the best part of being a real person.

"They do it for free!"

Not anymore, fucko. Have fun selling your ungovernable site.

Yeah, it's almost as if people don't want to have kids when life is complete dogshit and the future only ever looks worse. But hey, maybe that mandatory optimism thing they're trying to enforce will turn it around. Don't believe your eyes and ears, everything is wonderful!

Fuck it. Hope the great filter eliminates us with extreme prejudice before we get off this rock and ruin more fucking planets.

Managers lower the bus factor to like .8 and force everyone else to work too hard to pick up the slack. Then they act shocked when somebody gets hit by a bus and it all falls apart.

Imagine a company telling you that you should get used to not owning the things you buy when arguably the most popular game in their most popular franchise is about being a literal fucking pirate.

The link's broken for me but I assume it's the RE8 Dimitrescu flyswatter thing?

We are victims of a system that disposes of everything it can't exploit. That should make everyone furious.

I have plenty of friends, we just never get to see each other because we have no money.
