Remember when SE released the FF7 port with DRM exclusively on their store? And remember their reasoning for not releasing FF13 on PC was " lots of complex issues like security"? I remember.
This is good news. The game is available on PC, but it's EGS timed exclusive. That explains why I never heard about it before.Workers at Beast Breaker developer Vodeo Games have unionized, creating the first certified video game studio union in North America. Vodeo management voluntarily recognized the union, which includes both full-time employees and contracted workers.
You don't even need to guess. 10 years ago Square Enix relocated their whole headquarter because of a fortune tellerBut then they turn around and release the Pixel Remasters only on Steam and mobile.
If you told me this company based all their platform strategy decisions on something completely insane, like baseball results or something, I'd believe you.
Just don't do sidequest, it is doable.Do I want to try or do I just give up already?T_T
Lol, they released a game? Clearly, no one has heard about it.North America has its first video game union at Vodeo Games

We don't have live reporting this year because of their secrecy after last year's Kuro early leak, but looks like we have something here.And also @Kvik
Yeah that person is leaking it live lol.We don't have live reporting this year because of their secrecy after last year's Kuro early leak, but looks like we have something here.

I have a pretty big caveat in mind regarding Carc, at least the vanilla version. Have you ever played it ?Thanks everyone for the board game stuff. Ticket to Ride and others I hadn't seen (that like Parks sadly don't seem to have Greek versions) look really cool. It seems like the best bet that works for 2 as well as 3+ players is Carcassonne? Any objections to that? Some warning or some other thing you wanna totally GUSH about instead? I'd probably get the 20th Anniversary Edition which is priced well, around 30, and comes with some mini expansion stuff like Rivers whatever that means. I'm reading both Catan and Ticket to Ride aren't as good with less than 3 players (but some pairs do seem to love it still, I have no clue). 7 Wonders also apparently isn't recommended for less than 3 even though it has rule variations for 2 players. It's cool there's also Duels but that costs extra, to get both it would be like ~66 total (if I get the 2nd edition of the big game) to get things that might just not click for the household and go unused. I need a modest starter for 2-3-4 players and maybe something super cheap for 2 players on top like the mentioned oldie Wizard and Ohanami which will be localized soon.
Before seeing the prices of some of this I thought I could get Wizard, Pylos mini, a small board for chess/checkers/backgammon and a modern board game on top but it seems like that's not the case, I can only get the one board game and maybe a small cheap thing on top as said above, if the main isn't too pricy.
Huge. Maybe Embracer will add 10 dollars to Asmodee usual port budget of some scotch tape and strings. The sky is the limit.Since there were talk about board games. Embracer is in talk with Asmodee to acquire them
Huge indeed. Isn't Asmodee the worldwide biggest boardgame publisher?Huge. Maybe Embracer will add 10 dollars to Asmodee usual port budget of some scotch tape and strings. The sky is the limit.
They are publisher to pretty much all the well known boardgames that isn't from KickstarterHuge indeed. Isn't Asmodee the worldwide biggest boardgame publisher?
Sure, but I was more referencing their usual steam review score. Now, some people are unreasonable, but there was a definite trend the last time I looked at it. On the other hand they have a natural catchphrase if they want one. Your favorite boardgame, now with bugs.Huge indeed. Isn't Asmodee the worldwide biggest boardgame publisher?
Japanese will add this, when western devs have begun to scrap the idea already, like usuali wonder who'll be the first japanese developer to add some weird NFT in some form in one of their games, maybe SE
In following up our deep dive into Devolver's financials, there was one extra thing we wanted to point out. In these mammoth documents for public markets, there's often a 'risks' section. It's filled with tedious, but legally necessary disclaimers as to why the business might not succeed.
But there was one risk in Devolver that the company has clearly been thinking about, so I'm reprinting in full: "New models may restrict the Group's game sales: There has been a notable increase in recent years in subscription-based gaming models such as… PlayStation Now, Google's Stadia, Apple Arcade and Microsoft Game Pass, whereby players pay a monthly fee for access to a range of games.
In order to secure exclusive content to attract consumers to the platform, platforms will often partially or fully fund a game's development costs in return for exclusive distribution rights for the title for a fixed period post-launch. In the event that Devolver adopts this distribution model, it may limit the financial upside for highly successful games until the exclusivity agreement expires."
This particular risk is around the 'timed exclusive'. But the idea of capped upside has absolutely been an issue in the streaming TV/film space. For example, Netflix "buys shows at a rate of the cost of production plus about 30 percent of production costs, but it retains most of its future licensing rights."
So it's really much closer to work for hire - with very nice overheads, and you get paid no matter how it does. (Maybe game platforms like Xbox/Netflix buying developers is sorta a version of the 'cost plus' model, now I come to think of it?)
But no, this 'cost plus' model isn't coming to games in exactly the same form. Xbox has made the point repeatedly that you can design revenue upside into the games you license to Game Pass. And you can have titles out on lots of console/PC platforms at once - unlike Netflix which just buys your entire show, forevermore.
Yet I do think the issue of 'who quantifies and retains the upside from a big subscription service hit?' is a valid one - and ain't going away. And very interesting to see it mentioned in a publisher 'risks' document.
There are definitely USB hubs that have it. I bought mine like 3 years ago and it has one USB-C port.Just realised, why is there no USB Type C hubs? Meaning a hub that has Type C ports? I only see type C hubs that have USB 3 ports.
Yeah I have seen some of them but I was more looking to extend the number of type c ports that I have.There are definitely USB hubs that have it. I bought mine like 3 years ago and it has one USB-C port.

I genuinly haven't played enough games this year to do that.
Looking forward to playing this, I'm waiting for early access to end before i start playing.New ship class
Hopefully they can finish the full game around late 2022. I would say there are still tons of things that could be worked on, but they may leave those for DLC or sequel.Looking forward to playing this, I'm waiting for early access to end before i start playing.
Just bought it thanks!moon releases on steam TODAY
You havent played a single game that came out this year? You don't have to have five games to vote for.I genuinly haven't played enough games this year to do that.
Yeah... They probably already working on Forbidden West PC port too, I can bet that it will release 12 months after the PS version.Nixxes already doing their thing
I hope they rebalance the progression a bit. I played the last major release for 15+ hours and I still didn't get to the 3rd ship class, the Geckos. A bit annoying after the whole reset. Does make me want to wait to 1.0 instead of delving in and out.Looking forward to playing this, I'm waiting for early access to end before i start playing.
Same.Looking forward to playing this, I'm waiting for early access to end before i start playing.
And there is one more reset at the final release... I will try the new ship in Free Mode first.I hope they rebalance the progression a bit.
