Their union demands were some of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. They wanted [...snip...] paid overtime for salary jobs

That's a bad thing? You want to work extra hours...for free? I'm in my 50s and that would not be acceptable to me. You want my time and expertise (well, the little I have) and you don't want to pay for it? OK then.

JFC. This game...please make it stop I just want to jump in and play, but I'm more casual than most, and every time I do start and then drift off for a few weeks before coming back to it, everything has changed. I mean I *am* complaining, but, I can't complain. I will one day push everything else aside and do a proper playthrough of it. Retirement is beckoning in a few years, so maybe I'll find the time then

@Xero, Honestly, it's (EDIT: Subnautica, just to be clear ) not even that much of a survival game really (imo). Once I got past the first couple of hours where you're learning the system and gathering stuff I don't think I once thought about actual surviving. Other than oxygen when you're diving (at least until you upgrade your suit), the occasional bit of food etc.. It's really not a concern. The atmosphere is what made it one of my favourite games ever. But then I was one of kids who actually liked the E.T. game, so ymmv

On the positive side, I'm hoping they'll stop that new requirement to log in to read more than the first few Twitter posts.

Check out the extension "Breakthrough Twitter Login Wall". Works in Brave, so I would assume it works in Chrome, and there's a Firefox version as well.

In typical Valve style, we'll never see a Portal 3 Seriously, I'd love another Portal game.

It better have PVP else no sale. Deathrace 2000 style!

"...so I don’t want to create the impression that this is happening overnight."...colour me surprised.

But it looks like that's all the dude does, just rinse and repeat package deliveries?

What else am I missing?

Nothing I think this tells you everything you need (or don't need) to know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZacyTGVyfHY
Games looks absolutely crap imo. Yes, this is the PS4 version, but the game's "story" is still the same. All that hype as well.

Seems they will be giving Watch Dogs 2 free to everyone..and the other drops which were cosmetics in Watch Dogs Legion, AC Valhalla...and I forgot the other one.

Herpes Dating...seriously? o_O

What could go wrong? I hope it does work out and the game gets published without ruining the franchise. I'll wait and see, but whenever I see TenCent in an article I prepare myself for disappointment.

Well, it shouldn't be too far off now surely; they already have the game engine.
(/s in case it wasn't obvious)

I love it when games that nobody on Earth would come remotely close to saying were "Game of the Year" come out with Game of the Year editions.

It's like digital "Limited Edition"....limited how?

Wasn't he the sheriff in Rambo? (The very first one)

He was..I watched it on TV last week here as well. Best Rambo film by far.

Loved these games. The early ones anyway. I'm hoping that EA don't f*ck 'em up. I bet they're having meetings about how they can add long-term monetisation to them, rather than just selling the games ffs. I don't/won't trust them until they're released.

BioWare book will chronicle 25 years of games…

...ending with a chapter on Anthem? o_O

Pfft...who isn't sceptical of Stadia?

If you run out ouf money you die in game? I'm talking IRL of course, 'cos if you have money then there are some jpegs of ships they will sell you If you stop spending on their stuff, then your ship's 'health' gradually drains until it explodes.

Like the Aliens series hasn't been trashed enough already? Anyway, won't he be too busy consulting on Gears for Microsoft? Or maybe they just haven't returned his call (for help) yet?

This makes me sad to see the console list with a better selection of good games than the PC .....

Tbh the whole lot makes me sad; they're all cash grabs/transaction (no longer micro). But then I'm an old f*ck who remembers games being games and not vehicles for selling sh*t like weapon skins and hats etc.. Told you, I'm old.

I don't own/I've not played any of these except GTA V, which I got in a sale a while back and I've played it for about 2 hours. It's sh*t imo. They no longer care about the non-MP/shop elements of the game, and Destiny 2, which I got for in one of the Humble Bundles and I've never even launched it. But then I'm more a Factorio-gamer, and not FIFA/Clash of Clans etc..

Exactly...they could have, you know, just released pay for DLC. But hey, whatever; let people buy the cosmetic items and I'll continue to get the DLC for free tyvm.
