Ah, I was talking about Unity which had some chests that you could only open with an app.

Yeah, in Assassin's Creed Unity.

Ubisoft seems like one of the shittiest game companies. They were one of the earliest companies that implemented Always-on DRM, requiring an app to open chests, trying to put ads when you paused the game, refusing to put games on Steam because they want more money, sexual assault/harassment allegations etc.

From the last time I had to use EA's launcher, I still couldn't easily pick an install location. It's incredible how shitty it is.

Yeah, they're a pretty shitty company. Weren't they one of the first companies to implement always-on DRM?

Definitely greed, Ubisoft did the same thing in 2019 because they didn't want to pay Steams 30% cut.

Aren't demos kind of making a comeback? I've played lots of demos on Steam.

I really don't understand why there's so much hostility towards masks. I've always worn masks when I was sick and it was never a big deal for me. Wearing a mask all the time during 2020-2023 wasn't a bother either.

Not really, it's just that a lot of guides nowadays are done on youtube. I personally think text guides are superior so I really don't want gamefaqs to go away.

I really hope Gamefaqs continues to persist. I still think it's one of the best places for guides.

I liked the online events because it was easier for them to get runners from around the world to participate. Also, I think the rhythm game showcases would have never happened without the online-only GDQs.

I'm guessing this is still related to that time where a guy running a tournament had his nude Chun-Li mod on.

While I agree that you could jump in with Yakuza: LAD, I think it might be worth playing the earlier games for Infinite Wealth because Kiryu is one of the main characters. There will probably be a lot of references to the previous games because of Kiryu's bucket list.

The other stupid part is that WFH makes more sense from a business perspective. Having to pay less in office rent and utilities is great for saving on costs.

Only write-ups I could see was for the description of the award. I don't remember if the games had write-ups during the voting period though.

Most people probably didn't even recognize the other games. I only know about Shadow of Doubt (which I think should have won) because Yahtzee made a video about it.

Or being one of the few games that require you having an SSD to run properly lol.

Best guess is people voted it because they didn't know any of the other games and didn't bother to check.

Sony seems to be the only company making high-end phones with the 3.5 headphone jack. Unfortunately, their firmware is kind of weird with them not activating 5G on certain regions.

I think the quote from Jane is pretty telling. Some people at Valve only help out when a project starts "getting pretty cool." It's probably the cause of a lot of inertia in game development over there. Also, just an interesting detail, Jane Ng is from Campo Santo and she stopped working on In the Valley of Gods to work on HL: Alyx.
