I blame Jim Ryan. PS should have never greenlit so many GaaS projects. Almost all of them were cancelled . Sony needs to focus what it does best: quality, single player games.

I'm sure after trend chasing zombie media that trend chasing GaaS will go even better /S

I worry about Bend Studios..

Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have "about 40" video game projects in the works in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I think BG3 was such a hit because a) it released right around the time when D&D has become mainstream and b) it was iterated on for years in Early Access before being fully released.

I have a feeling that very few of these "40" upcoming games will hit the same chords as BG3.

Yeah, I feel like most Ubisoft games get a discount within at least a month of release.

Donald Trump appeals $454 million judgment in New York civil fraud case in c/news@kbin.social

Just to make an important distinction, Trump's lawyers submitted a notice of appeal which shows their intent to appeal the ruling. They actually haven't posted the bond to actually do this yet but many news sites are glossing over this detail.

Yeah so far Shiren 5 is the only Mystery Dungeon game that has been ported to Steam. I'm honestly surprised that Chocobo Mystery Dungeon hasn't been ported over too.

Yeah anyone on PC should try and cross reference prices on the various 3rd party storefronts vs Steam. I use gg.deals to do this.

Vampire Survivors: We just hit +200,000 positive reviews on Steam in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Added one to the positivity pile. This game is a brilliant pick up and play game that is very undervalued for the content it contains.

Drew Barrymore’s 3 co-head writers aren’t returning, even after WGA strike lifts in c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

[–] KyoStarr@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The problem with that argument is that Bill Maher received similar backlash for announcing he would return without writers, only to U Turn as well.

The long and short of it is that, 3 writers felt disposable by Drew Barrymore and didn't want to return to a working environment where they could be thrown under the bus at any moment.
