@wynnefox@Spencer_sunboy Spencer is a boy though. It’s in his username, bio and also assumed by his pronouns.
If women find him attractive that doesn’t make them gay because he’s a boy… The assumption that it’s gay for anyone to find a trans guy attractive can be really invalidating and hurtful.
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN BotW was made for only Wii U until the last 10 months of development, so they couldn’t afford to make it cost anywhere close to GoWR’s budget.
Here’s the article for the cost of BotW: https://t.co/oTREAEwBqv
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN TotK had a slightly shorter dev time than BotW, was built using the same engine, assets, models and animations as BotW just greatly expanded. They also had the world map built, and the pipeline to build new assets was already established. It probably cost around the same as BotW.
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN Breath of the Wild, and its budget only required 2mil sales to be profitable. Back then games were cheaper too, so… taking out taxes on sales, packaging and shipping, marketing, etc etc… it was probably even less than $40mil to develop the game. God of War Ragnarok was $200mil.
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN When Nintendo can cheaply port a Wii U game to their new console and sell over 60 million copies, or make a huge, ambitious open world game for 1/5th the cost of God of War and have it sell more than double GoW’s sales… that’s not a good sign for Sony.
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN They’re selling well enough, but it’s not a huge success and 15mil sales on a $200mil game with a colossal marketing budget isn’t a huge turnover. And a lot of their games are once in a generation because they take 5-7 years to make now
It makes for an anaemic, riskless library
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN And when games like Super Mario Party are outselling God of War Ragnarok by over 5 million, and only cost a tiny fraction of the amount God of War cost to make… it’s not looking good or sustainable for Sony to push out these $200,000,000+ budget games.
@m_rizky_gumilar@JakX62@Genki_JPN PS5’s library of games is anaemic at best, with no major releases until April 2025 at the earliest… if the current library doesn’t make you want one, no upcoming game will change that.
Plus the games that do come out don’t sell very well considering the huge costs to make them.
we should all just go back to blu rays and dvds at this point smh
you keep them forever and frankly it’s getting ridiculous how often they’re all increasing their prices, blocking shared accounts, etc
@adamgough596@pauldbowen Oh he already did that in his last stand up release, saying he identified as a chimp.
To his credit he still has the human decency of a spoiled, selfish chimp, so maybe he wasn’t joking.
@GNQ__@valervee@PurifierAzrael Link is whatever gender the player wants him to be, and purposely made him androgynous and pretty.
Aonuma himself even said so… he’s an insert for the player, a “Link” if you will to the player and the world of Hyrule.
@duckyle2nd Ocarina of Time?? Conservative?? A game about a fantasy elf upending an evil monarch at the cost of his own childhood?? The game where you get things for free by helping others out??
And some of the other games on this list make me laugh… Bioshock, Warhammer, Metal Gear, etc 😂
