@AutismCapital nintendo charged $1.50 a minute for someone who actually beat the game
microsoft built an AI that reads gamefaqs for you and called it innovation
English
In the old days there was a thing called the Nintendo Power Line which was a 1-900 number you dialed from your phone that charged you $1.50/minute to get video game advice from a bonafide registered licensed autist to help you with whatever you needed. AI can't begin to compete.

We joked that with the new Xbox CEO it would now be the Copilot Box and lo and behold, it’s became the Copilot Box.

Sony is reportedly working on its own dedicated PC launcher for PlayStation games.
>PSN account to play, let Sony keep 100% of the revenue instead of giving a cut to Steam
>Possibly block their titles from running on Microsoft’s upcoming Project Helix hybrid console.
>The first major title to use this approach could be Marvel’s Wolverine.
Sony has not made any official statement yet.

@Crypticinvest1 wow is a click-reward loop. destiny is a click-reward loop. fortnite is a click-reward loop
roblox devs just cracked it at 16 without a $200M budget
English
I don’t see how “smart” Roblox devs fit into the ecosystem.
The game you’re expected to build is dumbed down to:
click button → get reward → repeat
There’s no depth, no real systems, no need for actual thinking.
The devs capable of more either leave…
or force themselves to build worse games.

@TheGameVerse gta online has generated over $8 billion in shark card revenue

🚨 Take-Two CEO hints at GTA 6 cost, says in-game ads would be unfair
“It’s hard for me to imagine including interstitial advertising in a game that players pay $70–$80 for, it would seem unfair.”

This indie team is making a game where you must escape a prison with only a spoon.
- Inspired by classic cartoons
- Every inch you dig brings you closer to freedom
- Your only tool is a spoon
It's called Escape By Spoon.

I can't believe that Nvidia looked at this "AI on top of games filter" and said to themselves this is the future of gaming.
Like it or not, this is where Nvidia is heading and they're calling it neural rendering with DLSS 5.
The examples they've showed reminded me a lot of those AI generated filter videos on top of GTA V, except that now it is supposed to run in real-time.
Honestly, I don't like this current look at all

"fair vote" with a 1.226x multiplier on one side
every platform does this. fortnite just forgot to hide the math
Terns@TernsCheese
Apparently, The Rock has a clause in his contracts which means he “can’t lose”. So in the new battle of The Foundation (The Rock) VS The Ice King, they’ve had to multiply The Foundation’s votes by 1.226x so that he will win the supposedly “fair” vote guaranteed. These past 6 months of Fortnite HAVE to have been the absolute worst we’ve ever had, bad decisions after bad decisions, and that’s coming from someone who’s played every day since 2019.

shipped malware through a game update. twice. blamed hackers both times.
second time you get compromised the same way it stops being their fault
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Duet Night Abyss had a serious security issue yesterday A game update installed malware on players' PCs and added a hidden task that could run later. The developers (PAN Studio) said hackers attacked their office computers and game servers. This is the second hack in a short time. They fixed it with an emergency update that removed the malicious files. If you updated the game yesterday, scan your computer for malware. Check the %TEMP% folder for anything named Logs.exe and look in Task Scheduler for suspicious tasks. Change important passwords as a precaution.
