Eh, you always can. But that's beside the point. The point I'm making is not that you don't boycott other things, it's that this is the only thing you choose to. Which is just a symptom of being online in toxic places waaaay too much. You just shouldn't care this much about a mostly harmless video game company. It's super weird.

It's like when those weirdos keep voting EA as the worst company of the year every year, like EA? Really? Okay, that's where your priorities are.

I really don't know what to say about the modern pcgamer, at least the terminally online one like this.

I don't want to being whataboutism into this, but you likely support many companies that do truly terrible things every day, but this one is a bridge too far? This one? It's wild.

That's not absuing it, that's it being successfully used.

We want young people to use public transport, oh no, the young people are using public transport, the horror.

We do one thing. Must do other thing. Smart.

They want to use it as fuel again

Maybe they should chop the hands off cyber criminals as a warning to other would be cybercriminals too. In fact, life is too easy for someone who hurts a company, we should just shoot them all immediately

It's fun watching these companies die in real time

Sounds like you just want crash course https://youtube.com/@crashcourse

They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn't use anything fancy above that.

Honestly, it's only a setup that's gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their "real world" assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn't limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.

It's interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.

I love Soul Revear and the cain series, but they weren't even hits at their most popular ;) Embracer needs a huge injection of money just to keep going. huge

So, yeah. THQ Nordic is owned by the aformentioned Embracer. They got no money. Everything they have is currently being shut down and will likely all be sold off to pay the bills in the next year unless they pull a mega hit out of their behind

Post made me wonder where the IP ended up, Eidos published the series and owned the IP, that went through SquareEnix after they bought out Eidos, then they sold the IP to Embracer who is currently going through a very slow bankruptcy.

So outside the thought exercise, this is mostly wishful thinking. The best we can hope at this point is that embracer sell their IPs to someone else who maybe publishers remasters?

From software probably aren't a good choice though, they don't really vibe super well with the more straightforward European mythologies, they like to weave more (intentionally) convoluted worlds that don't super mesh well with the stories in the soul reaver series.

The closest I can think of would be the psvr exclusive Déraciné, which is a time travelljng story about faries in a boarding school, and it's still pretty far.

Shockingly, the American president does not have jurisdiction over the eu. I mean, they know this, they it's more political hot air for nothing, and we give them the attention they want for it.

I'm worried, given statements they have made, that they will. I fully expect that their next game will be botw 3, same map, new coat of paint for switch 2.

It's not worth complaining about this until it actually happens, of course, I'm just actively worried that we've lost something

I would say look at the difference between LttP, OoT, wind waker, twilight princess, skyward sword, and botw. Then look at the difference between botw and totk.

The former has every game feeling like a unique thing, I grew up being excited for this new world. Totk isn't that.

I know people love this game, yourself included. But keeping perspective is important too, or else you end up with Nintendoa arogant side where they get stuck making the same core experience over and over. You want nintendos interesting new experiences side.

I would far from call the new zeldas masterpieces, but I think my main worry is that he seems like he might be incapable of breaking the formula.

I'm fully expecting the next game to be breath of the wild 3, with a new gimmick but basically the same. And for a series as varied as the zelda series that is fairly sad.

Did you really just claim that journalists can not change the world by talking about issues?

It's hard to imagine a world where voting reform happens. We all know what we need. Scrapped or massively widened voter ID and proportional representation. But everyone who has the power to change these things will have gotten their job from the current state. They don't want to change what worked for them.

They don't care that there is auto aim, their goal is to have fun, not be the best there ever was without crutches. This is why it's so hard to talk online about anything to do with video games, the nerds make it insufferable. Op can't talk about this obviously
