Tomato sauce!

I want a pizza cow… :(

The overlap between MAGA voter and EV buyer is… is there even any overlap? Those sort of people usually want lifted Turbo Child-Crusher 4000 coal-rollin’ pickup trucks.

My dad uses one as a macro pad for his invoices and other documents/paper work

Please don’t forget that even when this company made “better” games and was more profitable, their management and executives were wilful participants in rampant sexual abuse of their workers. Ubisoft is, always has been, and always will be a pile of festering shit and bankruptcy would be too good for them.

Huh. I’ve seen no sign of it on my phone. I wonder if it’s a country/location thing.

Gross. Going to hold onto my 14P for as long as I can.

It’s very good and an extremely faithful remaster. The only thing I don’t like is that most of the new voice actors are not as good, but there is a mod you can download (within the game’s own mod manager) to restore the original voices. Also the menu system is kinda janky, but it works.

Apple is likely counting on iOS fans who have resisted the temptation of getting one of the top foldable phones already available as they wait for a foldable iPhone

I think that has more to do with the fact that folding phones are eye-wateringly expensive. I expect a folding iPhone to cost even more.

I’m still using an M1 Macbook and it does me just fine.

This is very good, but I hope devs can’t just get around it by releasing a 5kb empty update to reset the counter.

EA execs: “Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have sold better if it was even worse.”

They can do whatever they want with Mass Effect, far as I’m concerned. I’m not supporting EA nor do I trust them to not butcher their own products. They are self-destructing just like Ubisoft is because they cannot make a good decision to save their life.

Not sure if you are aware, but selling a product that literally doesn’t work is illegal in numerous countries. That’s fraud.

Also charging this much for a nearly 30 year old game without doing a damn thing to make it even slightly functional on modern systems is bullshit.

A direct inflation conversion like that is not invalid, but it lacks a lot of context. Games might have been more expensive back then, but everything else was orders of magnitude cheaper. People were buying homes and starting families as young adults back then. Now many in that bracket live check-to-check and struggle to put food on the table. It stings a lot more.

also to clarify: I was using Canadian dollars. Major releases are around one hundred bucks here when adding tax, give or take a little.

It’s called AAA because that’s the sound I make when I see the pricetag.

Once again another reminder why I don’t buy games at launch.

Well, this and the near-$100 price that most AAA’s are launching at now.

Wait until they hear what data Instagram/Meta collects during use!

But they’re a US company so it’s ok.

This comes shortly after news that EA lost several billion in market value and Veilguard underperformed, so not surprising at all.

Nvidia is in the business of selling AI hardware. They want to hype up AI so they sell more hardware.

This is a salesman trying to make a sale.

Hot damn did they ever screw up badly with DAV.

If they just released what people were expecting (and wanting): Dreadwolf, a true Dragon Age sequel - then it would’ve sold by the figurative truckload and they’d be riding the money boat right now.

But no. The reality-disconnected decision makers decreed that it had to be ultra sanitised, corporate, Disney-esque slop. Not an awful game, sure, but absolutely not a Dragon Age game.
