2k has been like that for a number of years, VC required for everything and it's super egregious. The Show has inched closer to that, and has had a more amenable approach as you earn the currency in most modes, driving you towards Diamond Dynasty. Madden has kept their Ultimate Team and...
I just pay for Ubisoft+ and EA Play Pro and as long as I hit on a few games a year they're all essentially free to play for me already. Ubi+ is the only one I fair-weather sub to, don't have time for all their games and it's one of the pricier subs. Really nice that it's available on multiple...
This will be official shortly.
Basically what I didn't want to see. I want to see them challenge the Quest 2 model. We'll see what comes out of the keynote (currently in progress)
Now official: $800 for the HMD.

From a PDF that was inadvertently put up on the lawsuit fileserver (googly eyes probably just from the tweet I stole this from), which has since been pulled down, here are Epic's efforts to get first party titles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo on their store:
Lawsuit is yielding some interesting information.
Edit: actually, not sure if these are part of the suit or what. Not sure why they'd have been released otherwise.
MS increasing the publisher's share on MS Store for PC games from 70% to 88%.

Sounds like that's basically what Elon has just now said.
With Bezos stepping away from Amazon, that could be precisely what happens, though he's intending to get more involved running a number of his other initiatives as well.
I love the idea of it, and nostalgia usually gets the best of me so I roll a bard and... never leave Greater Faydark before quitting again.
Just wish they were doing more with the IP than expansion n+1 and ruleset servers.
Well, we're getting Secret Invasion as a series (which could be an entire phase of the MCU IMO), so maybe they'll just wedge Thunderbolts into Cap 4, requiring Cap to get an Avengers team together...

Seems like the Paramount properties have denied his, may just be a game or something.

Sounds like it's not in a great state yet.
I'll probably never see that screen, unless I get rolled in the beginning of a game or something. When I play I tend to start a new game, play it for several hours over a couple days and then gaming ADD hits and I don't touch it for months.
Your Vive or your Quest? Vive worked fine, but I need to replace a Lighthouse, and the Quest works so damn well wirelessly that there's largely no going back. If I need to buy more infrastructure to improve my VR setup I'd rather get another Unifi AP instead of a Lighthouse.
Ultimately all...
Quest 2 bundles are $50 off at Newegg. Went ahead and pulled the trigger on one w/ strap, going to pack up my Vive and dump it on Facebook for whatever I can get for it w/ one bad lighthouse. Interested in how a couple of them run on the same wifi network (have a v1) and tinkering w/ some...
Yeah, not sure video games have ever been more popular. Pandemic + scarcity extending the opportunistic buying window... if they could copy this every cycle they would.
Suddenly just overrun with technical problems. Game likes to start on my second monitor randomly, and having issues with the mouse remaining visible while playing. This then leads to inevitably clicking outside the game, which windows and shrinks the horizontal resolution to like 1/3 the...
