games

I hope BA gets past its steam review limbo faster than Nekopara did.

oh, the data for this actually updated

half of the 30 sales were wishlist activations

I guess it was just slow to update

He's still on an absolute tear, it's going to be close

~250k in the last week

(30)

I was just about to post that

why would you ever use copper armor

if you have a stone pick you can just mine iron

they act as if iron armor isn't the early game

Copper armor should have a 90% increased chance of being hit by lightning

its only use is suicide bombing during rain

These people deserve to be tortured

ok so the game drops are adding the good abandoned mob vote losers

copper gear works for early game beause iron has actual uses other than armor

i wish copper golems were still random button pushers

Minecraft wyf. ...... ..

StopKillingGames update:

Fuck Pirate Software

They're doing so good

I've been seeing this everywhere and I have not done any research to figure out what it is

something about making developers/publishers not being allowed to make their games unplayable

They want to get the EU to regulate companies making online only games that die when they pull the servers

is the main thing

So if you are closing a game, you have to patch it to allow lan/self hosting and remove drm

is an example of one of the proposed fixes

at 1 million signatures, the EU is legally required to look into it

The things they want are straight benificial unless you are a gay furry who chose a username to ape searches for bypassing paying for things

If they get the signatures, they will get this, EU likes these kind of regulations a lot

Interesting

Thank you for filling me in

and the proposed rule would be that you are unable to sell digital products in the EU, that do not have an end-of-life plan that leaves them functional (good faith definition)

which is really reasonable!

"hey when you shut down, release your server binaries, and if people want to they can fuck around with them"

They don't have to patch anything or release source code, nothing extreme, just a "hey you can't sell people something and then render it non-functional"

Its so downright reasonable that you'd think it impossible for anyone to be against it

and yet...

this tracker site is cool

ngga

what turned it around unirronically, was him dropping that video calling PirateSoftware a faggot

he had given up, and released the video with the context of

"well, I don't have to be professional or diplomatic anymore, I can just shit on this faggot for ruining a good thing"

idk who piratesoftware is, but what did he do

uh, tldr he's a faggot

both literally and literally

idk, he's just a complete and utter contemptable person, who made it his personal mission to fuck with this so as to feel smug about being important

Damn they are almost there

Explaining pirate software in a funnier way, he is the reason tobyfox yelled at matpat on twitter

he's been "making" a undertale clone for the last 8 years, which is way he was so against the stopkilling games thing because he has drm on it which he famously declared genius by using valves achievement system to do it

🫡 i did my part

Xbox is collapsing at the moment

^

did you see the leaked email Polu

the full one, not the one that MS "leaked" themselves

"xbox is only where it is today because we let people go"

Yah, it's really fucked

Phil is a shitposter at heart lol

ZeniMax is the largest cut so far, they're down 650

Rare lost a couple 100

the waiting until the end of the workday part

is so funny to me

"everyone keep an eye on your email for a surprise before you leave for the day!"

I wonder how many games will be cancelled

since studios aren't announcing it until the end of *their* workday, i.e seperete for Europe, EST, and PST etc., there will be more and more waves of news breaking

I wonder what the biggest cancelation will be, the Zenimax MMO is big but I could imagine there being more big ones once the US studios start firing tonight

they're going to cancel Bloodborne on PC Moon

it's ~10,000 firings total

https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-game-cancellations-july-2025 Perfect Dark cancelled too?

Xbox really did lose the console war

it's more amazing just how bad they are at publishing games

from which to greenlight, how to market them, and how to support them post-launch

compulsion games is likely being shut down

no news yet
