What EA do? Besides not give me Dead Space 2 remake.

EA has been shooting itself in the face every year since 200...3?

I worked at EA in early 2000s. Place was filled with shotguns then. So yeah.

I mean Nintendo and steam aren't really shooting themselves more like being shot by the constant issues in the industry right now.

Plenty of indie games to enjoy.

depicting all of these as them shooting themselves in the face feels just insincere. Also just... bad taste.

What did Nintendo do? Oh god I’m afraid I missed it

i don't know, last complaint i heard was "nintendo did something years ago and it was bad" which, fair, but microsoft and sony are doing bad things right now in this moment and people are still mad at nintendo ending that one metroid 2 fan remake (which was so long ago that i forgot about it)

Ответ для TM64G

Sued Palworld, tries to patent common gameplay mechanics, and lost big in court and got several of their gameplay patents invalidated.

Ответ для shuberfuber
TM64G

oh yeah, they tried to patent the thing that pokeballs do and the court of kongo bongo (or whichever it was) said "no that's stupid and also way too hard to define" the palworld thing i kinda get? like a handful the designs were so stolen it was almost funny

Ответ для TM64G

Yeah. I do agree on palworld. Mechanics it’s a no no. We don’t want another nemesis system dilemma.

The thing is Nintendo can't sue Palworld as long as these designs don't compete in an area where the design matters. If Palworld made Trading Cards or plushies, Nintendo could sue. They could sue if it was an actual Pokémon clone. For a survival shooter, they can't.

Ответ для TM64G
Vee

Except they apparently never sued over designs. Have to admit, it shocked me at first, but thinking back to Action Replay and the like, it makes sense. If even their Groudon and Kyogre knockoffs on packaging wasn't enough, then Palworld sure as hell was safe

Ответ для Vee
Vee

(ok maybe not sure as hell, some of those designs are... Definitely really close)

Ответ для Vee
TM64G

honestly i have to respect the bravery to just go "make electabuzz egg-shaped and give it an autocannon" and put it into a game that you have to pay for

Ответ для Vee
shuberfuber

Because if they sued over design, they also open themselves up to a lot of lawsuits from other older games they likely took inspiration from.

Ответ для shuberfuber
Rubbereon 𖦹ω𖦹 🔞 #freeiran 🇮🇷

Plagiarism doesn't get accounted for in trademark and copyright law, so even if they wanted to they literally cannot sue over palword being unoriginal as fuck. If you allude to dragon quest, dragon quest didn't invent slimes, bats, golems and ghosts + the character designs are actually different.

Ответ для shuberfuber
Vee

It does make me feel a bit relieved (e.g. one of the monsters in the world my book is set in I made back before Gen III, and it resembles Lotad somewhat. So Nintendo not going after designs makes me feel a bit safer with some of my mon designs I've had to set aside b/c of games that came out since)

Having their software patents overturned sounds like a blessing, shareholders wont like it but for the industry its good

Ответ для DukeDragon28 🤝🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
shuberfuber

The overturned part was a blessing. But the "even trying to patent it" and spent millions to defend it is the "shooting themselves in the foot".

Ответ для shuberfuber
Shy Guy with a Bowtie 🎀

Everyone of the big three has patents to "common" gameplay mechanics. The thing is it's a common mechanic but with very specific restrictions, which people like to neglect. E.g. people saying Nintendo patented monster summoning, while it has to be from an object that is thrown by the player.

Ответ для TM64G
tomhoefwrites

The “Nintendo goes too hard after individual fan-game creators” criticism pales next to Sony and MS essentially trying to destroy what’s good about the entire gaming industry for EVERYONE. We all killed Nintendo for Switch 2 price hikes, which now seem mild next to what Sony, Valve, & MS are doing.

Ответ для TM64G
pinko-slime

It's like people are unable to admit that there's tiers to this stuff. Like yeah none of the big billion dollar companies are your friends but Nintendo just isn't in the same boat as Sony and Microsoft. Valve's issues are also kinda distinct

kennedy

I still haven’t recovered from the physical copy news. Sony is making a huge mistake.

Screaming Haunted Soul

I hope so too. Unfortunately, it's a cash flow problem, the CEO's are to busy counting the cash to put any effort into putting out quality games.

Imagine gasoline would be limitless... game industries are out of architecture idea... almost nothing looks original... it's always the same shit... and the few looking original are made of complex geometry with stunning effects... They reached an END... And that's all...

Nah. So many games are just limited by the shareholders wanting more and more money, whereas companies like Larian studios took a well known game and developed a game they themselves wanted to enjoy and developed Baldur's Gate 3. Developers just don't get enough time to actually gamedevelop anymore.

Ответ для Tease-a-bean
🏴‍☠️ 🅢🅐🅘🅝🅣🅗🅔🅛🅛 🏴‍☠️

Baldur's gate were made from passion, nowaday It's no more the case. Because shareholders urge to make it good fast... They kills the essence of passion to make it good as it always been.

What did Nintendo do? Piss in your cheerios? (Reminder that the GKC are an optional choice for publishers to use)(Nintendo isn't forcing anyone to use them) Nintendo also these last few years hired more staff and twice gave pay raises.

Ответ для knightingael
GESI ⚡

Dismantling fan events, suing for frivolous patents, charging insane prices for obsolete tech (switch 2), charging insane prices for slop, hating their speedrunning fanbase, boycotting smash games from entering tournaments... but yeah all they did was piss in that dudes cheerios

This is a list of stuff like 1% of people care about

Ответ для GESI ⚡

the switch 2 costs less than the PS4 did at launch and thats with accounting for inflation. "slop" isnt even a criticism thats just vibes based whinging (and iirc the only overpriced game is mario kart world?). the rest of that is annoying community stuff for sure but isnt related to the industry.

Ответ для GESI ⚡

The Steam Deck has comparable tech, but costs much, much more...

Ответ для knightingael
tomhoefwrites

Hardcore fans think Nintendo doesn’t cater to them enough. Which is true; Nintendo doesn’t cater to niche fans. A valid criticism, but nothing near as alarming as Sony & MS trying to upend the entire gaming industry for EVERYONE.

Valve didn't really shoot themselves, they got murdered by the AI bubble. All the others were making bad decisions before AI became an issue.

They have been fighting a case in NYC in which they assert that lootboxes in Counter Strike are not gambling despite operating a market in which the rewards they contain can be sold for money Like how Gambling in Japan is illegal but you can win metal balls that are exchanged across the street.

There’s also another case Valve is involved in that’s accusing them of monopolistic behaviour, specifically through price coercion. Where they told devs they’d kick them off Steam if they were undercut somewhere else. This included both Ubi and Msft, in relation to both their own games and store

Ответ для JayCee Jay
Penny Patton

This is true. Fuck lootboxes. Valve is no exception from that. I think most people are talking about the Steam Machine prices, though, which is hardly Valve's fault. If someone is mad at Valve over hardware pricing instead of Microsoft, Meta, Google, etcetera then they're part of the problem.

It's probably in relation to the Steam Machine price announcement. I think for what it is, it's not a terrible price, but I know it'll scare a lot of people off

Ответ для CrispyDakota13
Jarvin

To me that doesn't really feel like Valve's fault though. That's like getting mad at Squishmallows if their price were to go up due to a pillow company cornering the market on cotton/other resources used to make the Squishmallows in the first place. Weren't there projections of it being $700?

Ответ для Jarvin
CrispyDakota13

Don't get me wrong I do agree with you, I was just saying what I think the post was getting at. There were early projections of it being $700 but there was a long period where pricing was really up in the air due to the rampocalypse

They were, also unlike the other stuff here, valve is simply giving a pc gaming option for people to choose, you can totally build your own pc with steamos no problem, they want an open pc ecosystem, it's not like the others where you're forced to comply.

theplasmawolf

That is a thing not even close to making games or movies completely unavailable like Ubisoft and Sony did. Interesting take by the original image Of course, no one likes a high price for something, but there it's still a free choice. Sony and Ubisoft took consumers' money and ran away with it.

Ответ для CrispyDakota13
JPWKeeper

That is what it's going to cost for entry level gaming. The gaming industry now has to develop games almost exclusively for older hardware, or they'll die out because it was already a stretch to drop 500 dollars for entry level gaming, but 1,000 or 1500 is too much.

Ответ для CrispyDakota13
Crosknight

It is; which to be fair, is more due to ai companies snatching up the components needed and manufacturers failing to increase output to meet demand.

Ответ для Jarvin
AshOfCenturies

Valve is far from a perfect company, despite the glazing everyone gives it. There are many reasons why someone would be unhappy with them. Mostly, it's smaller things that tend to affect more niche areas but there are general things like allowing games made with AI to be sold at all and whatnot.

Ответ для AshOfCenturies
depth-vorpa

Despite how much I hate ai, that shouldn't be a reason to hate steam. Expedition 33 used ai, and it was basically most popular game at the time.

Ответ для depth-vorpa
AshOfCenturies

Just because a popular game uses AI, doesn't mean they should have nor does it mean we have to accept the usage of generative AI. Everyone has their own limits and lines. I'm merely offering one possible answer as to why someone might be unhappy with Valve.

Ответ для AshOfCenturies
depth-vorpa

Ah ok. I do not accept the usage, and a game using it might be incentive for me to not purchase it, but I do not think we should be going after steam, as they have done more for the anti ai crowd than any other gaming service.

Ответ для depth-vorpa
AshOfCenturies

Personally, I think the AI content label is much better, and easier to enforce, then a full ban as people will just do it anyway. In my opinion, there are worse things Valve has done to be mad at, if those are the sorts of hills someone wants to die on.

Ответ для AshOfCenturies
AshOfCenturies

The label at least gives consumers some warning and the choice to buy/not buy

Ответ для AshOfCenturies
Jarvin

I agree with the sentiment that Valve isn't perfect. I'm just thinking that juxtaposed with the meme shared, the comparison seems to be a stretch. I don't play on console so I wouldn't know this, do they verify if games are made with AI on their platforms and appropriately label it so?

I mean, steam/Valve isn't immune from some of the anti-consumer practices of the other companies. They still don't let you own the games you buy. And people really like to forget that they run a pretty scummy gambling system in CS2 with no age enforcement.

a random drop with a chance to get cosmetics you might otherwise have to pay for. & non-live service game can be played offline & many don't even need steam to be running. calm down thats like comparing the guy running 3-card-monte on a street corner to las vegas casinos. not great but not equal
