  • Entry level PCs costing less than $500 ‘will disappear by 2028’, research firm predicts

    Jump

  • Sure, but they tend to be low-end mini PCs with older CPUs, very weak iGPUs, a tiny SSD and something along the line of 8 GB RAM.

  • While you wait for a release date announcement, have a gander at Nivalis' opening moments [lifesim/management from the creators of Cloudpunk and set in the same world]

    Jump

  • I really enjoyed the world building in Cloudpunk!

    I am assuming Cloudpunk performed above their expectations and they are using this money to try and build out Nivalis. I do agree that fully interactive lifesim open world (with greatly improved graphics, I personally prefer the blocky voxel style of Cloudpunk) is a massive undertaking.

    If they pull it off, I will speculate they'll have runway success.

  • I loved Cloudpunk and its world. I would often just spend the time exploring different neighbourhoods and checking out the architecture and design (didn't finish the DLC though because of the mandatory racing parts).

    I am really looking forward to Navalis. The lifesim/management game spin on the world of Cloudpunk is perfect!

  • That's not the end of the world.

    I am a huge supporter of FOSS, whenever possible I use FOSS applications on both desktop and mobile. But indie games is actually one area where it would make sense to have proprietary engine and art (albeit maybe for a period of say 10 years for the engine and a somewhat longer period for art).

  • Bloodborne is the only truly great one really

    Got to disagree on this.

    Call of Cthulhu (2018) is pretty good, both thematically and in terms of gameplay. The Sinking City is also well regarded, but I have yet to play it. Dredge is also clearly inspired by Cosmic Horror and while it has its flaws from both a narrative and gameplay perspective, I really enjoyed it.

  • PC gamers win the first battle against Valve Corporation as £656m competition claim receives judicial approval

    Jump

  • By definition, a competitive fee/rate is controlled by the market, not by a single entity that set a rate ~20+ years ago.

    This is not matter of punishing anyone, but recognizing reality; massive network effects, immense switching costs and lack of market driven rate setting.

    They are an American technology, they can't escape the culture of corruption and criminality that dominates their region.

  • That's true. I've gotten pushback for criticizing Valve and there is a lot to criticize.

    They might be better in some way than other US tech companies, but that's doesn't mean much.

  • Bend the market to your will in the roguelike Insider Trading

    Jump

  • I am curious if that would be possible.

    Generally speaking economic strategy games (tycoon, city-builder, business sims) are a bad fit for the roguelike model; the "core" fans of the genre generally towards enjoying complexity and deep simulation and strategy development.

    That being said, Against the Storm was able to make an excellent roguelike fantasy city-builder, so perhaps a tycoon game would work too.

  • That's a mischaracterization. Trust me, it brings me no joy to see the US become a chauvinist, criminal oligarch regime. It's a disaster to be honest.

    That being said, you do not want to send money to a regime that wishes you harm and is composed of criminals. Nor is it unreasonable to make an assumption that the dominance of criminal elements is permanent and American civil service will get permanently debased and hollowed out.

    Mind you, this sort of outcome is not surprising and a foreigner living in the US could notice the foundations of such an outcome a decade before Trump.

    Jump

  • I was curious about this game, but I don't do early access / paid alphas for MMOs. There were many warning signs over the years; sales of Star Citizen style expensive JPEGs, the CEOs deep involvement in MLM and the decision to temporarily pivot to a BF game.

    If what is being reported is true, the CEO is indeed a full on scammer and liar.

    The funny thing is the main victims of the Intrepid CEO were other MLM hot shots (one of them sounds like he barely knows how to use a computer, let alone MMORPG gaming).
