All the NFT stuff has gone above and beyond to be as dumb as possible. There was one possible use case, the proof of uniqueness, showing that you genuinely own the one and only, and all others are copies.

So people used this technology to mass produce copies of the least unique things, because of course the actual use case is a pyramid scheme to scam people for money, and all the value of a blockchain item is the promise that it will make the buyer more money.

Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. That’s exactly what’s going on, and most gamers aren’t dumb enough to fall for it at this point.

Maybe mobile gamers are… That’s a weird market. I’ll never understand how people can shovel so much money into stuff like that.

Sometimes I’m reclining and I figure “hey I could play a game on my phone!”

Then, 20 seconds in at the best, I get hit with an ad and remember why I don’t play mobile games.

Emulators or just straight up portable platforms like a Nintendo Switch, are the one grace for gaming on the go. I've given up on phone games too.

To be fair, there are good mobile games. But like PC games you have to actually be willing to pay for them (with some rare exceptions). It's also likely that those games are multi-platform and you've probably already seen them on PC.

And like with PC/console/handheld games, 99% of the mobile game market is complete and utter crap

lowdownfool , to gaming in Quake 2 Remaster will be announced and released next week during QuakeCon 2023

This is wild. I was at the first QuakeCon, when it was called and we were playing the Quake 1 test (aka Qtest).

LennethAegis , to gaming in Zelda: Majora's Mask art director wanted to work on another 'weird Zelda'
@LennethAegis@kbin.social avatar

That's a shame that he was not able to. Majora's Mask is my favorite game and seeing the creator trying for something like it again would have been great.

Skipcast , to gaming in PAYDAY 3 will use Denuvo anti-piracy technology in its PC version

What’s the point if the game is already always online? Sounds like throwing money in the ocean.

@Raji_Lev@kbin.social avatar

The point is punishing the people who pay money for this sh*t, apparently (and they will, because for everybody who refuses to buy something that comes with malware bundled in there will be at least two screaming "SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY!")

JeevaBeans , to gaming in PAYDAY 3 will use Denuvo anti-piracy technology in its PC version

And that is a no from me.

Come on SEGA. Stop the sass and show all these lame ass video game and console makers how it's done.

Return to the console industry with a goddammit Dreamcast 2!

I’d buy a Dreamcast 2 in a second. I still have two original Dreamcasts and a pile of games.

I didn't really think about it until just now, but I would totally get a new Sega console. They at least have the internal developers to make meaningful first party exclusives to justify getting one.

Lucidlethargy , to gaming in Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'

One of my favorite physical game creators, Exploding Kittens (and Matthew Inman), decided to put NFC’s into their games…

I used to buy hundreds of dollars worth of games for myself and others from them. Ever since I got the email about it, I wrote back to them telling them I’ll never buy another one unless they reverse course of that decision. To this day, I’ve kept my word.

Crypto is bullshit, and I don’t want it sewn into the games I play.

What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn't engaging?!

Crazymick , to gaming in Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

You know what.. just fuck Google. Stadia was the last straw for me. I have been their biggest fanboy for 15 years and they are a company without a direction. The last piece I have to untangle is my email.

jordanlund , to gaming in Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

How long before they abandon this idea too?

DoucheBagMcSwag , to gaming in Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

Everyone: “hey I’ve seen this one before!”

Google: “what do you mean you’ve seen this? It’s brand new”

DoucheBagMcSwag , to gaming in Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

Lies.

After the Wii U Nintendo gave up on competing with graphical fidelity and features.

And the switch is their best selling device. Nintendo is done chasing the other two for graphics. Not going to happen.

I see the switch successor graphics still looking like shit but…performing better on an improved Soc and upgraded GPU

Pisodeuorrior , to gaming in Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

I honestly find it super hard to believe this.

Come on, it's a hand held, have they manged to squeeze a gpu the size of a ps5 into a Switch? And how do they cool it? Bullshit.

Also, Nintendo hardware has always been, by choice or not, at least a generation behind Sony and Microsoft, I really don't see them changing that any time soon.

Yepthatsme , to gaming in Starfield has the best release in the history of Bethesda, surpassing Skyrim

Yea it’s an artful masterpiece.

guyrocket , to gaming in Cities Skylines 2 has realistic economy, layoffs and even homelessness
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I remember years ago playing SimCity for the 1st time at my cousin's house. Started playing in the evening and stopped when the birds came out and the sun came up...much to my surprise.

I got Cities-Skylines about a year ago and I think I put less than 5 hours into it.
