Still kinda mad the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy XIV would require me to get a second subscription. Sorry, don’t want it anymore!

So anyway support physical media

So anyway support physical media

PlayStation delisting and removing hundreds of digital movie purchases from accounts just days before announcing an all-digital future is a level of audacity that will be hard to top.

This has such a huge impact on people in rural areas who have to deal with ISP monopolies with unusable speeds. The industry wants to act like the infrastructure is there for this to be the way forward, but big tech is just trying to leave poor people behind.

And so the PS5 becomes the last @playstation.com console I ever buy. Way to shoot yourself in the foot and lose a lot of people with this anti-consumer bullshit.

critics not wanting to engage with the idea that the mechanics are the point tho is so real though. i'd argue that goes beyond even hyper-difficult or niche systems-driven games, too. I think "the mechanics are the point" is nearly every Nintendo game for example

Mark your calendars! Reconnect returns for its final event - celebrating 25 years of #KingdomHearts magic! 👑🤍🌟 🗓️ June 25 - 27, 2027 🏰 Anaheim, CA More info: khreconnect.com

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

At this point I have to assume anyone who thinks “Well IGN gave THIS a different score compared to how they reviewed this other thing” is a legitimate argument are simply stupid.

Steam Machine discourse is really just a good reminder that no one can afford fucking anything right now

Furious doesn't even begin to describe how I feel

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

Saw Disclosure Day and loved it. Wonderfully made, a great message, and an interesting meta examination of Spielberg's past sci-fi works.

so many people who claim to be against "Gamergate" will never admit they've had their brains poisoned by it anyway
