Individual plans are a rip-off yeah, Spotify is one of the only services I subscribe to and that's because I have a family plan, so it's not so easy for me to just cancel it, when others are relying on it. It works out at €3.40/month ($3.95) per member. The value there is really good.

Spotify lets you just listen to anything, I can put a playlist on and it will keep going forever and I have discovered many tracks I would have never listened to, or even known they existed. Buying music is great, but only when you know exactly what you want, I'm not a big music person, I like listening to it, but I don't really have a dialled in taste. Spotify is great for that.

There will obviously be a tipping point though when they inevitably raise the price too far and I will abandon ship.

"people like you"

People asking about their certification process?

Even if I was complaining, Sony should want to improve their process without the need of it.

I thought consoles had their long winded certification processes? Do they not catch these types of games there?

A popular but unofficial Android app by "catfriend" was weirdly taken over by someone with no credentials. So everyone lost trust in it and the new maintainer was very sketchy in their responses to concerns.

There's no controversy with the official project.

The final final update?

2026-01-14

Wait until they rename Windows to CoPilot!

2026-01-14

This is just sad..

2026-01-14

Maybe we should just be banning AI?

2026-01-14

If there's not riots from what is already happening in the US, then there definitely won't be from a video game being banned.

That's a very out of touch take.

Yeah, I mean I still give them a go, but ultimately I think first person is better suited to shooters.

If Division 3 has a beta or whatever, I will probably try it too regardless. If the game is good enough even with TPS, then that would be great. I doubt it will be anything remarkable though, given Ubisoft's implosion.

Well yeah that's the thing though, you are filling in the blanks. I can't remember all the marketing material, I think they did cut a lot of the map though.

Even if they did manage to make it expansive and interesting enough, the third person would ruin it for me. It was clearly made with slow camera movement of controllers in mind.

Our low fertility rates are finally starting to catch up to us.

Yes, the whole reason they started on this game 11 years ago is because Mojang banned a whole bunch of MTX. Hypixel lost a lot revenue because of it (good, literally exploiting children) and went to make their own game.

Hytale will be drowned in MTX eventually.

It has always been a pile of shit anyway, but yeah.

2026-01-13

It's gonna be the real name thing, honestly. But I do feel GTA VI is going to be a lot more "censored" than the previous titles, I hope not.

2026-01-13

Eh I remember it looking a lot better, it does look very bland in that trailer now I have watched it back. I suppose your mind fills in what you actually want from the game, but then after it releases you realise you get exactly what you were shown, a mediocre and boring game.

2026-01-13

Israeli Overwolf payment processor too. Fuck that.

2026-01-12

Yeah for external DRM, but if a game has Steam DRM, then there's no official label or warning.

For example, Witcher 3 is DRM-free on Steam, but there's nothing (AFAIK) on the Steam page saying that.

2026-01-12

Epic Games is a scumbag company :)

2026-01-12

Well the new owner, was one of the original founders.
