Never heard of this dude before, but I’m getting some serious second-hand-catharsis for the public naming-and-shaming Frost gave him on his way out.

I’ve left a couple jobs angry, but always bite my tongue.

It’s soothes my bitter heart to see someone burn the bridge and also take a shit on the ashes.

This seems like nothing news/fake drama to make people think about Deadpool and oh by the way go see that movie in theaters.

I mean there’s a time and a place.

What if someone has gamepass or a ton of free games on EGS?

They have those in the US too.

Such an obvious scam. “Do this thing that might lower your rates.”*

~in 99.99% of cases rates increased~

Isn’t everyone’s phone also their refrigerator?

According to SteamDB at the time of this writing, the all-time peak player count for Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs on PC has yet to reach the game’s 64-player quota. Only 52 players have ever been recorded to be playing the game on Steam simultaneously since its debut

Why would we compare it against an average coder?

ChatGPT wants to be a coding aid/reference material. A better baseline would be the top rated answer for the question on stackoverflow or whether the answer exists on the first 3 Google search results.

Total… Star Wars? Star total wars?

released with an MSRP of ¥29,980 in Japan, US$299.99 in the United States, £279.99 in the United Kingdom, and A$469.95 in Australia; with standardized pricing for the European market varying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Switch#:~:text=The Switch was officially released,for the European market varying.

By that same logic, the customers are also at fault because the requirement has been in the terms of service since day 1.

Not taking sides obviously this sucks, but blaming Arrowhead seems arbitrary.

I think the most likely outcome is one of:

1. Sony pays to reimburse people who lost access
2. Sony pays to reimburse anyone who demands a refund
3. Sony removes the requirement entirely
4. Nothing happens

edit: #3 it is apparently https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1787331667616829929?t=NhwAEm4fGpVJj-UyI1lrXA

It’s exactly a money thing.

Publishers are usually responsible for all the shit people get angry about, but they’re also footing the bill to build the thing years ahead of time.

Have you considered one of the alternative brokers which offer pay as you go liability coverage?

Brb. Gonna air gap my home real quick instead of updating windows.

Jai alai?

Just fyi:

• performant == effective
• performative == related to artistic/dramatic performance

Don’t blame the devs.

It’s the execs and PMs who have other priorities.

Lot of armchair philosophists disagreeing with you, but you’re right.

Sure, some people make art for art’s sake. But it doesn’t put food on the table. Like it or not, most popular media is created at least in part as a source of income for the creator.

It’s fine to pirate things if you actually can’t/wouldn’t otherwise engage with the media. But at least be honest with yourself and recognize that you’re stealing income from the creator.

You don’t need to go back.

That game falls firmly into the “formative/great for its time” category.

Your memory of it is better than how you’d react to it today, I assure you.

It’s also like the perfect example of a gamepass game.

I loved it for like 3 days and then it ran out of depth and I haven’t touched it since.
