It’s a joke about writing slurs and censoring them with an asterisk, implying Gamer is a slur

They have some new IPs but they’re purely game publishers nowadays, primarily more indie and AA titles afaik Edit: write this without looking, looks like they do also sell old consoles and some controllers and such as well.
Ask Irish people what they think about the drink “Irish car bomb”
Peanut butter?
A lot of games were significantly more expensive bc back then too
Well the new Tekken games launch with more and more characters, besides 7 which did launch with less than 6, and if you consider that the price of games has gotten cheaper due to inflation since the first Tekken it starts to make sense that they’re trying to make more money off them. Games have been costing more to make while costing less to buy for decades now and the industry is reaching a point where that’s become unsustainable but people just won’t accept a larger sticker price and longer development cycles so studios are finding new ways to make money. Personally I think selling characters as they come out for a few bucks is actually not a bad thing in fighting games, it keeps the games alive and interesting for much longer so long as it’s done well.
There was plenty of terrible, buggy games you just didn’t see because stores would drop them. PC had it far worse than console did back in the day. I think it’s also that games are just way fucking cheaper now, adjusted for inflation a SNES game was around 120 bucks and a PS2 game was around 75 bucks.
But it did mean they would ship them broken with no chance of fixing them, tbf.
Nah it’s everywhere, Lemmy is not special in that regard. Gaming culture in general has a large amount of people who just hate shit, regardless of whether it deserves it or not. Just ask anyone who plays an MMORPG
They did tho? Not being able to make a new save was one of those issues
Oh, seems so. I always thought they just had the same art style through a coincidence or something. IDK where I got that
Idk I think the new art style is good. They probably didn’t want it looking like Rimworld anymore and wanted to have 3D for the verticality that was lacking in the original.
It’s pretty good they do a good job of keeping old games available in a decent state
You own most GOG games, too
Private servers can be really really good, I’m just not a big fan of classic wow myself
Yeah I played classic and I played retail and I prefer retail every day. Would I have called it a good mmo during legion/bfa/shadowlands? Fuck no, but with Dragonflight they’ve really pulled their shit together and made a very good experience and I am definitely looking forward to the Worldsoul Saga
You can play on a mode without survival mechanics, or find the water filtration system and grow plants from the islands on your cyclops to trivialize them. Before you get there though they’re kind of a pain.
Rain World is fantastic, especially after Downpour came out. I love having a reason to beat the game at least 5-6 more times!
Minecraft first released 15 years ago, call of duty modern warfare was 17 years ago.
The “games that kids play” very rapidly becomes “games that adults play”
Maybe you should put your dick away tho, I think there’s better ways to check your vision
