I spend the largest portion of my game browsing time on Steam (mostly because there is a cubic fuckton of shit to sift through) and honestly, I am glad that EA games aren't on there. I've come to the realization that I play indie games about 90% of the time despite having a high end 4k gaming machine. I've gotten into the habit of mentally filtering out the AAA garbage that dominate Steam and look for the indie gems that I actually enjoy playing. It's frustrating that the same garbage AAA titles always dominate the Steam charts when there's much better stuff that no one ever sees. |

BatteryGate beat Apples Net profit down from $18.9564 Billion to $18.95639 B.
Grounds enough to get some heads rolling, can't have that. The investor that bought in at $18.9564 wants heads to roll. |

| I feel like the layoff comment was added to increase the emotional response, they were most likely planning to do the layoffs regardless, but this drama is still one of the most fucked up game industry injustices that I can recall in recent times. Stardock is getting beaten down by attrition... I'm starting to think that Reiche and Ford are going to ultimately win this war when Stardock decides to move on and not bother with this IP any more. |

hahahaaaaa @ the soulja boy thing. It was pretty obvious that this was how it was gonna go down from the moment he announced these stupid things. I think he honestly thought he as in the right and this was all just business because, you know, he's just a business man. |

"Maybe just switch phone brands?"
Will that even be an option for long? "Apple wasn’t the first to ditch the headphone port — but, just as with its decision to include one, its decision to remove it has turned the tide. A few months after the portless iPhone 7 was announced, Xiaomi nixed the port on the Mi 6. Then Google ditched it from its flagship Android phone, the Pixel 3. Even Samsung, which lampooned Apple for the decision, seems to be tinkering with the idea of dropping it. Though leaks suggest the upcoming Galaxy S10 will have a headphone port, the company pulled it from the mid-range A8 line earlier this year."
I love the revisionist history on Blue's.

Looks great but $95CDN is a hard pass.
That and pushing the $15usd/month premium pass is just insane. I don't even want to bother to see if the game will interest me at those prices. |

DLC Simulator 2019?
Stellaris has made massive mechanics changes 2x now, neither of which required the purchase of any DLC. You can shit on the DLC policy all you want, but Paradox base games have a longer life and get more substantial updates than any other games I know of. The changes for Megacorp were roughly 75% base game, 25% DLC. |

Your initial insult to him applies broadly to people you care about. Insult his design ability, not his coding ability, otherwise it looks more like you don't understand job functions in the industry than it looks like you're making a sick burn. I guess we'll have to look at this announcement and see if he's just a "Game Designer". I'm sorry, but people that make indie games have to wear several hats. It makes no sense that he would announce a game and not be an active coder on it unless it's something someone else developed and is just using his notoriety to get publicity.
And I do understand job functions in the industry. I've been doing them for almost 20 years. |

WaltC nailed it. The guy is just a glorified level designer. I'd love to hear what his former coworkers (like at Midway) have to say about his coding ability.
He's a game designer, not an engineer. He doesn't need to be adept at coding. No single person is adept at every aspect of designing video games anymore - there's a reason many have over 400 people working on them. I'd imagine most Michelin star chefs can't raise cows.
Not defending him, but his fame comes from coming up with a killer idea for a game, not from actually coding it. Carmack did the bulk of the coding. Romero just gave Doom the concept that made it Doom. We can argue which is more important, and almost all of us would agree it's Carmack (which makes sense, he's a generational talent), but Doom wouldn't have been Doom without either. On the wikipedia page... Occupation: Video game designer, video game programmer
He has only proven that he once made some good levels for a game in the early 90's, since then has never designed a game himself that had any success, can't hold a job and has aspirations to make a game to return him to his previous glory. I find it hilarious how you guys will shit on Chris Roberts (an actual active game designer) and defend a guy like Romero. I realize Romero is kind of pathetic, so it's hard to kick the guy when he's been down for 25 years, but giving these game announcement schemes of his any level of credibility at this point defies logic.
The guy is unlikely to finish anything he starts, and if he does... it's going to suck. Lets see if he proves me wrong. |
