@gmzanatta The most concerning part is how much information Yuzu had on their users. Sure, they settled, but they also turned over all devices, hdds, domains owned by the LLC. No doubt Nintendo will be digging into the logs Yuzu kept. Yuzu sold out its users and fellow devs for safety.

Many people don't realize how bad it's going to get if Microsoft monopolizes where the consumer can purchase games. You remove physical copies from retail and cut out second hand sales, then they fully control what you will pay. $70.00 will seem like a deal.

The game looks incredibly intriguing, but I held off on Alan Wake 2 because of the lack of a physical copy. I'm not opposed to digital games, but I am apprehensive to drop $70.00 on a product that I can't own. Let's hope Remedy finds a way to print it.

A big game like Alan Wake 2 launching without a physical version seems to have hurt sales. Also being an Epic Game Store exclusive is another factor too. But maybe the game would not exist without it so I am not sure what you could do about it to be fair.

You can make the best content in your niche, but if you're too specific or honest with your titles & thumbnails, you get punished for it. Why do you see so many videos with vague titles i.e. "We need to talk" "I'm done." "I'm frustrated." Well, because trickery is rewarded.

This whole thread is a trip. People are legitimately arguing against complete games on physical media. "Just quit complaining." "It's actually their property. You should've read the TOS!" "Give up trying to own things, it's over." "Physical Media isn't the solution."

Nope. Not until video games can be preserved for the public in legal ways. Not until companies stop to take away ownership. Not until companies fully respect consumers and their rights, including the right to repair.

I was going to continue testing offline scenarios for the Xbox Series X, but I think it's a fruitless endeavor. Not to paint with too broad of a brush, but the Xbox community straight up doesn't give a flying fuck if they own their content or not. The community gets hostile if

My favorite part of buying secondhand games from Japan is their attention to quality. Games with the most minor scuffs will get discounted. In American secondhand game shops, you often pay a flat rate, even if the game disc is loose.

Silent Hill 2 is perfect game. It doesn't need to be reimagined. Any team that remakes it will fuck it up. If you want an HD remaster, good news! It already exists. It's called Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition. Goodnight.

@XiaomuArisu Yes, there was a planned crossover before CING was shut down due to debt. A few Hotel Dusk characters can be found in photos in Another Code R too.

The XIM requires an OEM Xbox controller to work with the XONE/Series. The Xbox detects the XIM as an authentic controller, meaning the upcoming unlicensed accessory block to stop the cheaters will not work. It's more likely going to block your boomer Dad's racing wheel setup and

The Yuzu lawsuit is about more than just the potential loss of TOTK sales. Nintendo wants to control access to their content, especially their back catalog of titles. They want players to pay for online subscriptions for access to a retro library. They fear the modded Wii U.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was more impressive than the garbage most companies are wasting resources on. The gaming industry could benefit from bringing back middle budget games. Seeing companies go all in on mediocre open world games with recycled assets and 6 year dev cycles is lame.

@KennyLauderdal3 If you're able to stream, try and reach out to your fans to let them know what's going on. Nobody wants to see you put out on the street for reasons out of your control. You might even get some leads on a new place or steady income in the meantime.

All things considered, this was a light penalty for Yuzu devs and a settlement is a better outcome for everyone. I don't agree with suing emulator devs. On the other hand, most emu devs don't have a paywall where they rake in 40k per month. Avoiding discovery was the best play.

[yuzu] yuzu will pay $2.4 million in damages to Nintendo to settle their lawsuit. This was mutually agreed upon by both parties.

One day, I'd like to cover a childhood favorite, Breath of Fire III. This game threw so many esoteric mini-games, side quests and off the wall twists every few hours. Truly a one of a kind journey.
