    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    21% decrease in revenue for LoL. If you don't think that impacts Riot, you are insane. Are they going out of business? No, I never said that. Are they losing people, and along with it interest from 3rd parties, streaming revenue, ... ? Absolutely.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I think you quoted the wrong post, you are talking about nothing I mentioned. Did I mention any harm being caused? Didn't think so. Where do I seem to be rooting for Epic to fail?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The stupidity of the people involved is hard to grasp. Fortunately I've known the games industry a long time.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Alternatives to fortnite will be brought onto the market, the market will fragment and individual games will never again reach fortnite potential. After the market is split across dozens of games, it will be far harder to generate income from them (compare a stream with 50k viewers to one with...

    Sirken knows too much, they can't remove him from the project but had to put him in his place.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    The young folks playing fortnite don't have a budget worth mentioning. Its the next bubble. I guess its too complex to explain like that, but teens have the attention span of a gnat and little expendable income, so fortnite is going to die before star citizen stops generating income.

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I'd rather pay 10% more on steam then get it elsewhere which is less convenient. In fact I think everyone that buys games on steam is already doing that.

    The time frame to send in tickets is longer then the games lifespan.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    When this fails there will be 210.000.000$ of salt involved. Pretty sure that would carry me until the release of 2 GoT books.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    This is only an issue when you want to make a game that appeals to everyone. The greed that makes companies expand the target audience for their franchises directly prevents them from making games that have a very strong appeal to a smaller audience, due to having to filter out all the...

    Path of Exile

    This game looks a lot better then I remember it doing. Been a few years since I played though, is it on a new engine or something?

    Asshat of the Year 2018

    I'd really like this title since there is no such thing as bad publicity. Runner-up would be cool also.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I played D1 online at a cybercafe. Everyone used that trainer, it was awesome. "legit" was a term used in each of our ganksquad lobbies.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The problem is any small-medium size studio with good practices and people gets bought out, and there aren't any big companies that guarantee quality left. If a small company can make the witcher 3 in a good 3 years, a company like Activision-Netease should take no more then 2 years. Anything...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I vaguely remember Blizzard admitting in an official statement that they were aware about taking too long to make new content / games.

    If you can't afford the 27k ship pack you'll be regarded a peasant regardless, so any should do. In case you are serious, the gray market has a lot of "cheap" offers.

    Fallout 76

    On the upside for the game, a large part of the consumers base is retarded. "I payed 60$ for a shitty game based on a 10 year old engine, but me and my friends have fun!" The kind of people that would have fun eating tide pods with their friends, are paying customers, and usually pretty loud also.

    He doesn't really. People that hate things don't tend to own them. I didn't vote Hillary, pretty sure I can still hate on her for legit reasons. I don't have to drive a Lada to tell you its shit.

    Weird, most reviews seem to indicate people have played the game. You talking about your family and/or colleagues perhaps?

    It wouldn't make it to 3 years if it was an independant game, its too bad for that. 2-3 months and it'll be forgotten here.

    The finer things - watch thread.

    people rationalize not having stuff like this pretty often sure, a 10k$ car is going to get you to the same places as a 50k$ car, and you can also take public transportation .. that doesn't change the fact that having the 50k$ car is the nicest option out of those i don't need a picasso to...

    Battle Brothers

    I have 71 hours in this game, and enjoyed at least 65 of those. Its basically a mount & blade like world-map, with roaming enemies. Combat is on a grid based map, its like blood bowl but elevations / cover and the importance of each action make it more complex. You command a small group of...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I got this game on PS4 last weekend and binged it until my (properly charged) controller ran out of battery. Fortunately I have 2 controllers. Really good game, overall I find it pretty easy but after running into a spike which wrecked my team I guess I need to go back and grind a bit. A+ game.
