Anecdote on how thin skinned Sony is:

When Warframe went fully cross platform, it launched great, they had little icons for everyone’s systems so you could see that the loading times on the switch were horrible. (Hardware issue, no SSD)

Sony freaked out and their legal demanded that people only see their own platform and everyone else be generic.

Why? Because they were scared someone would be playing on an xbox and beat someone on a PS in pvp.

Understand that you can absolutely go in guns blazing and have a great time.
The missions all have multiple paths to completion.

The issue is more that the regular mission gameplay encourages stealth and nonlethal takedowns. And does so exquisitely.

Then all of which are completely useless against the bosses.

Human Revolution suffers tremendously from the corporate decision to outsource the boss fights. To the point that you have to level up an fps character or the first fight is hell.

As i recall the devs themselves said they regret that decision.

Solid mobile game where it was entirely possible to use save editors to modify the amount of paid tokens and lootboxes you had.

Also there were fun tricks you could use to avoid base damage via strategic application of elevators.

Windows 10: how to re-enable the actual sleep function on your PC/Laptop. Not the crappy MS one that they can wake up on demand.

Control panel > Hardware and Sound > power options > system settings.
Change settings that are currently unavailable

Disable Sleep Enable Hibernate Save changes.

Optionally: change power button to Hibernate

From power options > Change when the computer Sleeps:

Put the computer to sleep: Never. Click on Change Advanced power plans Go down to and expand sleep.
Change the hibernate after setting.

You’d think the richest guy in the world could afford a decent fucking suit and a remotely passable haircut.

Well, no.
Deep Rock Galactic has fully optional skin packs to make money and they’re doing great.

Warframe has been chugging along for over a decade now and they’re doing great. Beating the pants off of Destiny 2 for average player count.

The live service trick is that live service only works if the company actually cares about the product. Those two companies stand out because they legitimately care and have great communication with their communities.

Fair, I have connections to a few that were fairly serious during 2, most of which were in tournies, one of those never bought 3, but the rest gave it a shot.

The ripoff that is S3 seems to be nails in the proverbial coffin.

They killed Splatoon’s grassroots Esport community thanks to them making a quick buck with splatoon 3, that promised a bunch of network functionality improvements that never materialized.

So now, a game that used to have multiple small but growing international tournaments now has nothing. Hell, they used to have tournaments on the main stage at PAX East.

Blizzard and forces the whole thing to be cancelled.
