Can you make your own character? I'm a little interested, but I'm not sure I want to follow the main character's story. If you have to use the main character, how in-your-face is their story? For instance, I want to explore Tatooine and do my own kind of thing there, and I don't want to feel like the game is expecting me to do stuff to advance the main character's story.

Looks like my jam. Used to do regular game nights before the pandemic. Time to start that back up.

Love the idea of it, appreciate the effort that went into it, found it a little hard to get into during early access, looking forward to giving it another go.

I’ll say one thing, after reading the whole article, it puts the goodbye message from Morhaime (https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/blizzard/22549840/message-from-mike-morhaime-and-j-allen-brack) in a different light. The article kind of shows the backstory behind that message, and it just seems sad to me, how he seemed to love everything about the games and the community and probably would still want to be there today talking to players and working with his teams if he could.

. . . the long-term goal of Neuralink is to improve AI-human symbiosis by increasing a person's capacity to communicate at high volume.
I know plenty of people who already communicate at high volume.

Are you recommending that over the multiplatform release of Monster Hunter Stories?

FWIW she actually made something out of nothing with Call of Duty esports, so I'll reserve judgment until we see how it goes.

FWIW I worked at Blizzard for a long time and can affirm that this was the basis of the decision-making to hold the release of the original Diablo until after the 1996 holiday (so the origin of the philosophy in question at least goes back to then, if not farther as detailed in the linked article). It was actually driven by our head of marketing, who encouraged the developers and company president to take more time with the game and get it right rather than rushing it out in time for the holiday demand. He said “No one will remember whether a game was on time; they’ll only remember it if it’s great, so let’s just focus on the game and not worry about an arbitrary schedule” or something like that. That marketing guy’s recommendation turned out to be the right decision, and it formed the basis of Blizzard’s ongoing philosophy for many years to come. It’s also listed in the company values, as part of the basis for “Commit to Quality.”

@Blue As much as I wish free-to-play was cancelled, I'm thinking there's some kind of typo in the opening line for this one.

Nice, picking this one up. Looks like just the Max Payne vibe I've been looking for.

@Blue It would be awesome to go back in time to 2004, but I'm guessing the headline and first sentence should say "2K24" and not "2K4."

Hey Blue, just noting that the game title in the headline should be Ancient Enemy, not Ancient Alchemy.

Holy cow that's a lot of money raised for a lot of charities in one year. Good on Humble on maintaining their commitment even as they've grown and evolved over the years.

Remember when games use to be about the gameplay?

Yeah, it's so much better now that they're about great gameplay and they give more people an opportunity to feel included. Progress!

Not necessarily. While it is true that feeling included often involves a sense of recognition and validation of one's identity, it is possible to feel included without necessarily representing one's own identity in a specific way. For example, one might feel included in a community or social group based on shared values or interests, regardless of whether their identity is explicitly represented within that group.

Which is the beauty of the words "an opportunity"—it's about adding a new way for someone to feel included, and not necessarily about establishing something that didn't exist in other ways before. So sure, while it's possible that all kinds of people might have found ways to feel included previously; this character is a good thing because it adds to the list of ways for people to feel included while also delivering what looks like an awesome gameplay experience that seems consistent with the vision for the game from the beginning.
