They’ll still make the Xbox consoles as long as they are selling. They’ll hopefully just ease off the “Exclusives” going forward.
It was a shitty way of trying to move consoles anyway.
Although they are late to the party, Sony is also trying to sell on PC and other storefronts. So my guess is that the console market isn’t treating either of them super well atm.
A quick internet search would suggest that no, you can exchange them, but not dismiss them entirely.
The game seems pretty hard-coded in regards to how they want you to play it.
I’m not making excuses. Just expressing how I understand it.
I get how bloodthirsty people can get and how little rationale thought comes with it.
It’s not good, no. More accountability at the top would be preferrable, I’d imagine.
You also have to take into account that many customers haven’t felt treated very nicely over quite a long time now. There’s definitely some pent-up feelings getting released as a result of people finally achieving functional boycotts.
It’s the internet. People will be dicks to others for no other reason than that they can.
And I really hope you aren’t referring to “me” when you say “you”. I’ve always voted with my wallet and for the most part, I try to be reasonable in my critique.
But this industry works like any other. And when a bad decisions made, the groundfloor workers are always the first to feel it. That’s just the sad truth.
I think, in Ubisofts case, people just want to see it burn at this point.
As I said, there’s bound to be other opinions.
As much as I dislike Ubisoft, it’s nitpicky as hell.
The Year only has 365 days. Billions of people have inhabited the planet and screwed over each other for thousands of years in various terrible ways. Add in shitty natural causes like plagues and such, And well…
Good luck finding a date something shitty didn’t happen.
I don’t think anyone really celebrates layoffs at a studio because they didn’t like a game they made.
I think it’s mostly reserved for when Devs or CMs have come out of the woodwork to shit on their own potential audience. A response to overconfidence and disregard of the customer. Because there’s definitely been some of that as of late.
Ofcause there’s bound to be other opinions, but I think this is the overall gist of the current situation.
We’ll no doubt see that number jump a bit over the weekend, but atm it’s anyones guess if it will do well or not.
So I wouldn’t crack any party poppers just yet.
I’ve only completed the first Pillars game and it’s an ok game.
A bit linear for a crpg in my opinion, but the story is pretty good. Like, you only really have a couple of choices that have any consequenses.
So not top tier rpg, but ok. But that’s just my unsolicited two cents.
There’s been quite a few titles that launched as “#1 Seller” that underperformed lately.
So yeah, I’ll happily dispute this as a sign of success.
I do believe Valve also counts as Indie. They are privately owned and self-publish.
Trusting science and following advice are two very different things.
Yeah, I know it was unrelated. And I’m sorry for high-jacking your comment.
Just thought I’d add my own little “funny” when it came to writing. :)
my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.
That sounds like my handwriting. And If written in a hurry, even I struggle to make sense of the mix of runes, hieroglyphics and child’s drawings I call my “cursive”.
Mint has treated me just fine since I converted.
I’m not proficient with Linux whatsoever, but Mint has literally been the most newbie user-friendly OS I have tried to date. So Windows can suck it.
For gaming, Steam runs things great. And for other things like GOG, Battle.net, Lutris has server me well. Proton does a good job.
