Oh they don’t want that one.
I don’t like this rebranding to “open social web” like it was made for them.
Sounds like skill issue to be honest
Seeing this crop up as a semi-frequent response before the game is even out yet isn’t really selling me on it. I definitely see myself as skill-challenged, so it sounds like I won’t like the game much and anyone I end up playing with probably wouldn’t like me much either.
In the article there’s a testimony from someone who doesn’t normally like shooters being into this game. That actually kind of speaks to me, but I’m convinced that’s because the general public still doesn’t have access to the game yet. Once people start getting crazy competitive on this, it won’t be fun anymore.
Is this game actually good or just hyped up because it’s a valve game?
Does Microsoft get a cut of all pc games sold? Do all pc games play on Xbox consoles?
I don’t think any of it matters, I’m just stating things as I see it. Microsoft wants profits, the examples I listed before have not been as profitable as probably predicted, so they are trying to make it up by selling older exclusives to eager PS customers. Sony sending exclusives to Xbox probably isn’t seen as profitable to Sony, so maybe they won’t do it.
I am more inclined to think they are just selling to other platforms because they have to after dropping so much money on Activision, Bethesda, and trying to keep games pass a decent value proposition.
Granted, I think selling multi platform is a good move and I hope they stick with it, but I think the PS5 is trouncing the Xbox enough worldwide that even without a whole lot of first party games, PlayStation has no real obligation to throw Xbox any bones in kind. PC ports seem to be enough.
Sorry, sometimes I don’t articulate well. I edited my original comment. Maybe it will clarify what I mean to say.
Not talking about this game. I’m talking about future western releases.
China pandering in games about to go into overdrive.
Edit: when a Chinese game made for Chinese people sells as well as this, you can bet your britches more western studios will try to get in on those sales. How do you do that? Give a bit of a nod towards China in your games and don’t add anything that will piss them off. I wonder if Ubisoft will put assassin’s creed in China next.
It doesn’t matter to me, but I’m just saying expect it.
Huh. TIL only socialists argue from a perspective of what benefits society…
Was your citation not just another anecdote with no citation?
Assuming a store with 9a-9p hours (every day), a 9-5 worker can shop 44 hours in a week, vs 40 they cannot.
You can’t just logic this kind of thing out mathematically because during those 44 hours people have lives to live and obligations to fulfill. Families to manage, food to prepare, appointments to attend, plus they need to sleep. Busy shopping hours are busy for a reason. Nobody wants to be stuck in a busy shopping center. They just do because that’s the time they have to do it.
Are you actually referencing a mastodon post made by one individual claiming to be a lifelong teacher as substantiated evidence to support your claim?
I’m also a lifelong teacher, and I think homework has its place.
That said, I almost never assign hw in my own classes unless students need more time with a project than I am able to provide. That said, some student are never happy when I give them a score based solely on how much (or how little) they actually participate in class vs poke about on their phones.
I’ve always believed that fiscal responsibility and interpersonal skills should be taught in schools. Add online etiquette and context interpretation to that list as well.
Also, who’s going to pay you? You’re going to school so you can learn how to make money for yourself later. If you don’t do your schoolwork, you might end up making less than others who did because you’ll be less experienced with it.
It’ll be exciting to see prices temporarily jump during the few hours the majority of working class folk have to do their shopping.
Students don’t learn by just going to class then doing nothing afterwards. Teachers give the tools, the kids need to practice them. Jesus I wish I could get paid for just going to school.
What you describe is often referred as a “generational leap”.
