You didn’t have to storm off because there was a picture of a lettuce behind you.

I’ve listened to them a lot, but had never seen any music videos apart from Smoko. Need to have a watching session now!

I’d never seen the video for this. It is spectacular.

Despite the article talking about crashes, that outfit from Threads really makes me want to play!

I was semi-joking, but I also didn’t click the link.

Bro, no-one’s clicking a link with “spyware” in the URL.

Interesting, you sound like a 12 year old on Fortnite.

I think generally the majority of developers do think like this. They’re normally the ones passionate about good games and see fads and trends for what they are. Unfortunately it is not usually these developers in control of major decisions or greenlighting projects at [large] games studios. Even less so at publishers.

I wouldn’t say Metroid and Castlevania merging into the name of a new genre label is quite the same as expecting every game with the word “Soul” in the title to be a souls-like.

Rogue has a similar problem sure, but I don’t think it’s at the point of expecting every game using the word to be a Rogue-like. Recent example 40k: Rogue Trader.

Its a bit odd if a genre can have a monopoly on a word which has been used throughout games involving any magic or mysticism since the 80’s

Kinda. On PC you still use the Xbox app and game pass has Xbox branding. It’s not just about OS, it’s about store sales.

My point is that technically everyone that bought it bought it on iOS. The figures are the same whether you look at iOS sales, MacOS sales or “Apple ecosystem” sales.

Ok but we are taking about the ecosystem. Should we start saying “Xbox ecosystem” for everything on game pass, or the “Steam ecosystem” for games that work on PC and Steam Deck?

Leaving the EU was a major problem. All game developers in other EU countries pull from all over the EU for their talent pool, but that’s much harder for the UK now.

So you mean to say you can play on all iOS devices?

BrewDog has never been punk. It’s always been a PR machine. I kind of can’t believe how big they’ve got with pretty mediocre beers.

Someone should write them a strongly worded letter for infringing on white representation and ruining the man’s good reputation.

They’re technically interdimensional beings. They were worshipped as Gods by the Norse, not literally Nordic humans.

Also, it’s yet another hero shooter. Have we not moved onto another trend yet?

Good to see. I really enjoyed the demo and have it wishlisted. Poor choice of release date in my opinion though. I was never going to be prepared to buy a full price game the day after the Steam Sale finished.

Addicted to reading drivel.

I wouldn’t mind if my kids were glued to books all day, but newspaper opinion pieces should only be used as toilet paper.
