Its attached to the name because:

1. No creatives at Bungie can come up with an original idea apparently
2. Bungie believes the name alone will carry it (it wont)

And then they made Myth II, which they had to recall (that almost bankrupted their company) because trying to uninstall it could delete your system folder and brick your PC.

At least with Myth II, Bungie actually made the right call and did the right thing.

Are they adding a PSN Account requirement to a single player game again?

Should be illegal. It's not, but it should be. Globally.

But it doesnt let me play with 4 other players, and thats honestly a huge L. Teams of 5 only have the pption of highly competitive games like shooters and MOBAs. Thats it. It would be nice to have other options for once.

The implication that generative AI would spit out pixel-for-pixel copies from its training data is flat out wrong. Even generative AI would have made more original assets than what Bungie put in Marathon. The worst part is that this is like the 4th time they've been caught doing this.

Being inspired by an art style and using that style is fine, and completely normal. Thats how art works. But copying and pasting 1 for 1 is not fine.

Is it only the management though? You mean to tell me absolutely none of the artists knew about this, or that literally ONLY ONE "ex-employee" artist knew this was going on among the art team? Do Bungie only have one artist making art assets for textures across various objects, as well as assets they use on their website and in their trailers?

"Ex-employee" is a scapegoat, but I guarantee you there was more than one artist, entirely unrelated to management, that knew this was going on and will happily blame the scapegoat to absolve themselves of their involvement.

Rule 1 of Lemmy: Worship Linux, or be subjected to poor treatment, unfortunately.

Sailing is back on the menu once Empress decides, I guess? Is Empress still the only one cracking Denuvo, or has the Denuvo Cracking scene changed much in the last 5-10 years? I don't really keep up with it much.

"Thin your paints"

I also have an old account with ~$6,000 USD on it. I don't worry about it so much. Also, I don't think it includes when a game was purchased on sale, because on my account I have one of the Star Wars mega bundles that came with like 20 classic Star Wars games, but it says it was like $220 or something. I absolutely bought it when it was on sale, and not when it was full priced, because that money would fund Disney and I don't want to fund Disney any more than I feel is absolutely necessary. So some of the prices may not be reliable with what was actually spent. (After manually adding up the purchase, I only spent ~$59 USD on the bundle which I bought in 2018).

By comparison, I have put ~$10,000 USD into my car, with $7,000 on the engine alone. So seeing the $6,000 might have been scary initially, but given the value of the dollar, I am kinda surprised the number wasn't bigger.

Also, my account is old enough that it doesn't include anything from before 2016? or some year like that.

Emulation requires hardware many times more powerful than whatever you are emulating. This is very different from a native port, which are the examples you listed just now.

I agree with you, but I also recognize that saying that to someone that clearly enjoys Nintendo products would be incredibly mean. So while I also imagine what I said could be seen as mean, it is far less mean IMO than just blanket dropping the entire company.

Like, I used to love Nintendo. But when Iwata died and Fils-Aime left NoA, Nintendo changed for the absolute worst. I could not hate Nintendo more, actually. Still, I try to not be super mean to most people that like Nintendo products.

I am American citizen, therefore I imagine it would either be illegal or extremely damaging to their cause if I signed for one that is designated for European government.

I will join ones here in the States though.

As an American citizen, I agree. I literally do not care what anyone else thinks about the reputation of America or Americans in general. Sure, it's mildly annoying when people from other countries stereotype me as loud/ obnoxious, unruly, violent, etc. But it's a very short-lived expectation they have, at least in my case, and only ever amounts to a tiny, minor inconvenience, if anything at all.

I don't let the reputation of others define me, mostly because I don't care about it.

Wait, you don't know about Mario's other brother, MAIIIO?

Well yes, if you are paying Nintendo to rent games you already own physical copies of.

Maybe she is just Canadian?

Nintendo has been called "Big N" for a very long time, so I wouldn't attribute that to this.

The 60s? Don't have to fight in a war?

Are we just rewriting history to ignore Vietnam?

Nothing wrong with that. But seems like a made up quote.
