Remember when Facebook’s overarching company bought out Oculus? Well, some VR games seem to start out as exclusives on the “quest” headsets. (I know Facebook [the parent company] changed their name to “Meta”, but I refuse to acknowledge that)

I don’t have the tech-saavy for emulation, and I’ll still wait for console exclusives to come out on PC (unless we’re talking Nintendo exclusives I’m actually interested in). I’ve actively waited for Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game to no longer be a Facebook exclusive, and now I’m doing the same for Out Of Scale.
In a roundabout way, you could argue both were factors.
Twitter’s echo chamber becoming cacophonous with spite and worse means less people visiting the site, and refusal to support the site would be a better look, but that pr move might be easier on the corporate wallet as well.
That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.
Considering this and No Man’s Sky having to spend YEARS clawing back good will, I think the lesson here is “don’t make deals with AAA publishers”.
It honestly reminds me of some statistics implying that deaths due to violence may be overrepresented in media perception, while deaths due to cancers and heart problems are seemingly underrepresented in coverage by comparison.
Talos Principle. The VR version of the first game, haven’t gotten around to the second game yet. I love the puzzles (when I don’t struggle with timing running past mines), and it’s hilarious that the philosophical test to make a Milton admin profile showed me how utterly unprepared I am for philosophical debate, and how weirdly contradictory my viewpoints might be. Mind you, the only philosophy class I’ve taken in my life was an ethics class.
TL;DR Talos Principle is amazing so far, even though it makes me want to slink off back to college and sheepishly register for a philosophy class.
Ok, so it’s just a taste thing in this particular case, and not some other logistical thing like preservation?
Strange way to say “my parents treated me like garbage, and I failed to break the cycle.”
Are they talking existing sales, or sales after the announcement? If this is just post-announcement, holy fucking shit
At this point, I’m hoping for there to be a spree of unionization.
Maybe a millennium from now we’ll have better means of keeping corporations in check, but in our species’ current and primitive state, unionization might be one of our only options.
I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)
