@jpofferz_ttv@chronotj point is that what you call exploitive practices the corpo would call compelling offers. it's obvious bullshit but they won't stop if it works
if you really think content creators can sway individuals off from personal convenience, idk what to tell you, look at the last decade
It was always going to end up this way and physical honestly stuck out for longer than expected, but it's still a huge bummer
If everyone's just building PC's anyway what's the point
PlayStation is ending production of physical game discs for all new games, starting January 2028.
From that date, new games will be available in digital formats only.
@JonathanDeer10@chronotj sure, but what's the trend over time? are they trying to get ahead of the curve? not trying to be difficult just honestly asking, feels like if the physical product is on a downturn and it saves them a lot of money, they may as well bite the bullet now
@jpofferz_ttv@chronotj kind of, yeah lol
I really do think people like that stuff, whether it's good for them in the long run or not. mobile games make 50 billion dollars a day because it's fun to push a $1 button and get a think
@chronotj no I think it's just shifting consumer tastes + corpo minmaxing, Gamestops were always fated to become Blockbusters but the way its all played out is surprising. Xbox & PS game passes aren't as compelling in the same way early streaming was
League of Legends Classic is coming as a new game mode ‼️
You will be able to play with the old champions, runes, and items on the original League of Legends map.
Can't really get a sense of the character itself but the backstory and characterization is inspired, him being an undead naive rich kid adds a cool layer to the whole "cute face/dark force" trope dynamic which aligns well with a Kirby-style char design
The creative here is great
“I like street fighter but I also like viewers” is a sentence I never thought I’d hear on an Evo stage but here we are. Dunno if I’m angry or disappointed, probably both
@SomeRando298 nah I hear u np, I'm just saying I think it's semantics
I just don't think it's wrong for a variety streamer to joke that they pull less viewers playing a fighting game, it's not a value judgment or anything lol
