“Live service” is a game that has an always online requirement. Just getting updates on the regular doesn’t make it a live service if the game works just fine without an Internet connection.

Single player Ubisoft games are all “live services”, due to some of them needing a constant connection to Ubisoft’s servers, and them having in-game shops that only work while online.

So far Warframe has been the ONLY example of a good live service game. It’s the OG when it comes to the model, but it’s also the exception, and not the rule.

Good riddance. Seems like Sony got the message; we’re sick of everything being a “live service”.

You don’t say. Kinda hard to avoid if it’s now a requirement to run anything.

You don’t say, Nintendo. Pretty sure they’re also using open source emulators, from the developers they really hate, to run their older titles.

Some of the biggest men on the Internet seem to have the biggest insecurities I’ve ever seen.

And what do third parties not associated with Musk say?

Musk has a history of “saying” things, and presenting mundane advancements that have already been achieved as things he invented.

Larian are good developers. BG3 is a finished game with more potential and replayability that anything else. Let these guys cook.

Star Trek for the technology and exploration (both of space and the human condition). Star Wars because WOW that dude just moved that shit with his FREAKIN’ MIND!

A Horizon movie could work, so long as it’s not going to adapt one of the game’s stories, and works instead as an expansion of the world rather than a retread.

Helldivers… I’m not seeing it. I’m not seeing it at all. It’ll simply be off-brand Starship Troopers. Besides, what story is there to tell? The game’s direction is partially, in some small part, driven by the way players react to alerts events. You’re not going to capture that in a movie.

Well, not Helldivers.

Hmm… I found it very difficult to customise Gnome. So I switched to Plasma.

Baldur’s Gate 3.

“This mod will ONLY work on a legitimate copy!” is just a plain lie I’ve seen many times on various mods over the years. Problems and issues caused by mods have never been because of a pirated copy.

Skywind is what I’m waiting for.

Not a good argument when a majority often doesn’t consider the entire world’s population.

Because OpenAI is anything but open. And they make money selling the idea of AI without actually having AI.

Furries have long since stopped being a small, niche, minority corner of the Internet. You can literally measure the success of a platform these days by how many furries are actively using it.

VRChat is the most popular thing that furries use. If you have random people popping in, you’re in an open, public world. But in VRC you also have the ability to open private worlds or extended friend worlds.

Fotgot about those. Not sure if many actually use them.
