i need to look into those. it’ll be my first play through and the remakes might be a good way to do that

is FPS capped at 60 or can it be unlocked?

edit: looks like this article reports that the fps can be uncapped: https://www.pcgamer.com/ratchet-and-clank-rift-apart-pc-port-performance/

i vs L strikes again

what? all i see is an X? i must be too pure hearted compared to all you deviants.

honestly i’ve started to realize that startups are the modern day robin hood. they take and burn money from VCs and turn them into very low cost services. then they try to turn a profit and everyone runs away to the next new startup that is there to “disrupt the competition” but in reality is just the same company in a younger phase.

fucking lol

holy cow thanks for sharing this! on my wishlist now!

i pay for youtube premium, i don’t like seeing ads on my phone

what’s your guess as to the percentage of US military spending compared to its tax revenue?

i remember playing this as a kid on my family’s comp. the little stair* guys were great

ohhh noooooo

just want to point out that a majority of they regular names are already taken, that’s one of the primary reasons why new TLDs are such a blessing

man this book series is awesome. i hope they don’t screw it up

I would bet he was angry that this guy didn't work off the clock during a 'surge' to support his chronically understaffed 'team'.

this is cool, going to use this for our young one whenever that happens

this was really eye opening and reminds me of my family

I’m not arguing that the makers of the game are the victim. I’m arguing that the other consumers are.

You seem unwilling to hold a consistent picture in this dialogue as you keep trying to argue the same thing.

edit: and the answer to how a creator would tell the difference is between the incomes of the two events, one with piracy, another without.

So you agree there is a difference then.

edit: Revisiting this, as I've said before:

No, there is a difference, and my apologies for not responding to your statement about the mechanism.

The mechanism of harm caused by the first group (those that would have bought the game if the avenue of piracy did not exist), is that by choosing to pirate instead, they are removing their contribution to the profitability of the company and causing an increase in price to remain profitable. These increased prices cause undue burden only on those people purchasing the product.

There is no mechanism of harm caused by the second group (someone not buying the game because they aren’t interested in the game). In this case there would be no alternative action if the avenue of piracy did not exist because this group would still not purchase the game.

If I were you, I'd just write them off as absolutely crazy and move on. Not worth your mental energy anymore.

edit: to answer the question, gotta find a way to quantify your pain in monetary impact, but I don't think it would go far.

The harm is only caused by those that would have bought the game if the avenue of piracy did not exist.
