@crysanaaru @aitaikimochi There was zero risk for Square, why would they say no? It didn't work because of external reasons that was out of their hands. Not because there was anything wrong with the product when it was almost 1 to 1. I love bashing companies when they do stupid shit, this ain't it.

@MadsenMicro @aitaikimochi Saying that Square Enix is responsible for handling their own IPs is definitely not "talking shit", it is a simple fact. Companies are responsible for the IPs they own and for who they allow to use them and how. They actually should have just said no.

FFXIV CN Mobile announced its EOS will be September 30th, 2026 dang… It didn’t even have a chance to be released globally wth 😣

@ImZephyr_ @Dexerto The problem is if the questions get too difficult, you turn people away. But if it's too easy, scalpers will just adapt to it. And it does nothing to stop scalpers that already know about it. Then you're just back to square 1.

@MadsenMicro @Dexerto Disney questions at the parks are very easy if you have general knowledge of things. Many people may not know ‘Which princess has the most dialogue’ but they should be able to name the princesses. Simple knowledge tester questions is all they need, gatekeeping would be low.

The Disney store in London was forced to close after scalpers crashed a Lorcana TCG drop Hundreds of fans had queued for 12 hours, but were told the store wouldn't be opening due to "violent, aggressive behavior"

@crysanaaru @aitaikimochi That may be so, but put the blame on the right people or the right circumstance instead of just flinging it around talking shit. Square could've easily said no, but they didn't and that's pretty cool. However it didn't work and that's that.

@MadsenMicro @aitaikimochi They are still supervising it and it is their IP, another in a long line of failed projects. With this coming right after EOS of another mobile game with Final Fantasy in its name, you can't blame people for being wary no matter who the direct developer is.

@ImZephyr_ @Dexerto That just makes things really gatekeepy and doesn't really stop scalpers. Tons of people pick up a new hobby on a whim. Fx loads of Wargaming fans are just there to make fun minis without much lore knowledge. Idk maybe don't let a couple people buy the entire stock day 1 tho?

@Dexerto They should adopt Disney pin trading questions to see if the person truly is a Disney fan. Fail the easy questions about anything in the Disney universe, you have to walk away. Same should happen with Pokemon too

@aitaikimochi Jfc these comments blaming Square, when Square had nothing to do with this at all, and only gave their blessing to the devs lmao.

@crysanaaru @aitaikimochi Literally not even Squares fault this time. It's a completely independant crew who made a prototype and got Squares blessing to make it real.

@aitaikimochi Wat the hell 🙈 Square Enix should be banned from attempting ANYTHING mobile related, this is embarrassing 🤦‍♀️

@sagathena @PaulTassi Naw you should make your point more clear. Palworld is as much a single player experience as it is multiplayer. The way you phrase it, makes it sounds like a dig towards Palworld since it released almost 3 years ago in EA.

@MadsenMicro @PaulTassi You should reread my post.

Sorry Palworld I’ve been informed Steam concurrent players don’t matter

@sagathena @PaulTassi If a game that "only" takes 12 hours to beat, can somehow pull in 500k concurrent players 3 years later, then they clearly did something very right.

@PaulTassi I mean, depends. Is the Game online, live service and new? Sure it does. Is it a single player game from 3 years ago that takes 12 hours to beat? Not so relevant.

@Luzianos_ @Ayanarinashi Bravo you've discovered basic society. People lie. What do you want a private little plugin that scans for games that's disclosed the use of AI. It's not magic, it doesn't hurt anyone, and no one is forcing you to use it.

@MadsenMicro @Ayanarinashi Devs lie, players lie. It's not that hard to understand. How is steam enforcing the disclosure? "You have to per our guidelines" And?

A perfect plugin doesn't exis-

@SirCoffeebotESQ @Luzianos_ @Ayanarinashi Well apparently. Would love to know what kinda wonder coding he's working with.

@MadsenMicro @Luzianos_ @Ayanarinashi "How are they gonna know" Magic.

@Luzianos_ @Ayanarinashi Bruh wtf is this comment. 🤣 How are they gonna know if it's not disclosed? And what is that last part even about, if they didn't use AI, then they didn't use AI. Besides steam is enforcing disclosing usage of AI. So if it's not then it's already against steams own guidelines.

@Ayanarinashi So it only blurs a game if the devs have disclosed their game as having AI. What about the games that have AI (and it's barely noticable) but the devs didn't disclose it? What about games that got review bombed for AI use even though the game didn't use AI?

@casey_Payne23 @ImpactSuit @pcgamer These "checklists and checkmarks" is literally what makes story driven games interesting and diverse. Otherwise you might as well just play as a bunch of grey blobs. How about blaming management that made the decisions to cut venom, rather than random nonsense like "woke".

@MadsenMicro @ImpactSuit @pcgamer How can you remove them when stories and everything rely on them now? Can’t have a proper story driven game without these checklists and checkmarks. Spider Man 2 cut 90% of venom for this crap. Let alone much more

Xbox's CEO wants its games to cater to 'more than a billion people each day', or 24 Steams pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

@ImpactSuit @pcgamer I don't disagree that forced DEI should be toned down. But whenever there's talk about DEI/"Woke" all it sounds like is the removal of people of color, zero lgbtq, zero representation of anyone and everyone are super models. That would be terrible and boring for most games.

@pcgamer If they want to cater to a broader audience, start by REMOVING all the DEI wokefest that infected the industry and make games great again... I have a little hope this woman actually understands that...

@_Ken_SchWarZ_ @helldivers2 @SavetheChildren As much as you're in your right to complain, maybe don't try to hijack a post that's literally about helping kids. Just stop circlejerking the drama and move on. You've made your point with pointless graphs. Come back in 6 months and check it out the game again.

@MadsenMicro @helldivers2 @SavetheChildren Oh I have, uninstalled it last week, and all the friends that introduced it to me originally, haven't played in like 6 months or longer lol, I was the hold out ironically.

This week, we want to celebrate the recent efforts from our independent player community, the Freedom Alliance, for their HEROES '26 fundraiser with @SavetheChildren. steamcommunity.com/games/553850/a…

@_Ken_SchWarZ_ @helldivers2 @SavetheChildren You know you could just stop and walk away, right? No one is demanding you stay if you don't enjoy the game anymore. It's alright, please go have fun with something else. Even your graphs show a steady playerbase for over 2 years. Most Live Service games lose that in months.

Yeah, that's cool and all, but when are yall going to fix your game? Like...I'd be fine if you just said that it's still in ALPHA production...I've been playing since the beginning, and from there to now, I'd say the game functions fine maybe %20 of the time. While the other %80 of the time it's a clunky/glitchy/crashing dumpster fire. Sure, you've addressed the "Issues" on a rare occasion, and there might be a week or two of solid functionality, but then you just rebreak the game, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It's a shame, because yall really had something good going with HD2, but frankly you all have lost the plot. You either don't know wtf you are doing, or just don't care. All the copium addicts can huff all day long, but the reality is one day you'll log on (Assuming you're even able to without it instantly crashing) only to find that you are the ONLY one playing. So go on ahead and HUFF AWAY ON THAT COPIUM!!!

@DarksMusics @Pirat_Nation Ah yes Zelda, the massively popular "Sony" game. /sarcasm People really just type nonsense and hit reply without thinking or checking huh.

@Pirat_Nation There days are numbered thinking people will buy there expensive game systems to play a few games. There's no system sellers being made except maybe the zelda remake. Do this lose money pure an simple

Sony’s reported decision to slow PC releases could affect more than just Western PC gamers. It could also hurt the company’s presence in China, the world’s biggest gaming market. China is mainly a PC and mobile gaming market, where most gamers play on PC rather than consoles. If Sony stops bringing major single-player games to PC, it may become harder to reach those players. Many Chinese gamers are unlikely to buy a PS5 just for a few exclusives. A smaller PC presence could also weaken Sony’s ties with Chinese game developers. Programs like the China Hero Project have supported local studios and strengthened PlayStation’s influence in the region. Via:pcgamer

@AnxiousNeck @TheGameVerse As much as I'm feeling the Soulslike fatigue... Fromsoft is literally the maker of Souls games... That's like telling Nintendo to stop making Mario games. What do you expect?

@TheGameVerse I really hope not. I want something different. Soulslikes are getting tiresome.

FromSoftware has an unannounced game in development, confirms director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The previously leaked pirate souls game could be real 👀

@mrlsexdoll @IdeaBravaX There are so many studies on how beneficial regular orgasms are. Not to mention how it literally lowers the risk of prostate cancer in men. It's genuinely not up for debate and is usually always just religious nonsense trying to demonise sex and masturbation as some sort of sin.

But actually, moderate masturbation is beneficial for both physical and mental health. Don't treat it like some kind of demon or monster. When it's time to release, just release. Otherwise, you might end up having wet dreams, and most people probably don't enjoy waking up in the morning and having to wash their pants... Besides, it can help you relax and relieve physical and mental stress. Excessively suppressing yourself might just backfire. What do you think?

¿Qué sucede si dejas de masturbarte durante un año entero? Estos son los cambios que ocurren en tu cerebro y cuerpo durante 12 meses: 1. Tu pen* se vuelve más...

@CrunchyChickenW @jeffmacdon80258 @WolfofX So is half the planet, it really means nothing without evidence... 🫠

@jeffmacdon80258 @WolfofX Hanks is on the Epstein list my guy

He turned down $100 million to keep a promise. In 1997, Keanu Reeves vowed to his sister Kim he would never miss her birthday if she beat cancer. In 2018, Marvel offered him a lead role in a major franchise, but filming clashed with Kim's birthday week. Reeves asked to adjust the schedule. They refused. He walked away from the deal without hesitation. Kim later called him crying. Reeves replied: "I only have one sister."

@Metagamer20 @OzempicRoadhog @Helldivers_NOW Didn't say to stop making complaints or reminders now did I. Infact I keep saying there's plenty to be had, but apparently reading is hard. A post about literal fixes on their discord has several thousand people still giving it a thumbs down. That's hate just for the sake of it.

@MadsenMicro @OzempicRoadhog @Helldivers_NOW If we shut up about a problem, it will definitively never be fixed. It is the complaining and "being obnoxious" that eventually gets things fixed. Being polite and kind with AH doesn't work. They tend to just ignore problems unless there's a lot of noise made.
