Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

[1998]

Not surprising. They been multiple rumours that developers/ publishers are very much not dropping the progressive agenda ,but are just going underground and being as public with their true goals.

I'd like to see a list of those 30 games. They are credited on 20 games for the past 5 years.

Not me. I try to avoid using the same username anywhere. But if that were me, I probably said something unsavory about a protected class.

As someone without access to The Numbers... I always wonder how much popular sentiment aligns with market perception. In this specific case, I wonder about game subscription services; years ago they were touted as the future and purely additive, and nowadays the sentiment seems a lot more dour. Is this reflected at all on the other side of the curtain? Is it something developers talk about? Is it even something you can track at all with the data you have?


Also you asked:


More generally, how do you feel these initiatives impacted the gaming landscape, and what do you make of their trajectory so far?


Anecdotally, games that are in Game Pass can expect to lose around 80% of its expected premium sales on Xbox. That’s the figure that gets thrown around. It’s less if it’s a big mainstream release, but generally… look at how low Hellblade 2 charted. Or where Indiana Jones came. Or even Starfield. Game Pass clearly hurt sales of those titles on Xbox.


But… if it’s a game on multiple platforms, it can be beneficial. That surge in players on one Xbox can have a strong impact on sales on PlayStation, for instance.

I am actually torn on subscription. I believe it can lead to lost revenue, and services like this make it harder for everyone else. Try being an indie game on Xbox right now that’s not on Game Pass…

Hope Microsoft closes their game division.

They're already on the verge of exiting the console race, and if nothing radically changes in the next few years (and it won't) then their gaming division is ******.

Recently they put some fat ****** woman in charge of Halo, so that franchise is basically lost, and even more recently the head **** has been making the news for firing thousands of workers and replacing them with *****.

We may even live long enough to see MicroSoft's fall from grace.

Not only is it illegal, it's unconstitutional.

Oblivion remake using UE5 is so ******* tonedeaf and hilarious
completely dead on arrival, might spur progress in openblivion at least

All I want is 64bit oblivion, that's it, nothing else.

I have never heard of this game series until now. It does sound pretty interesting though so I'll be sure to check it out. It certainly helps that the screenshots that are available look appealing to me.

Just found out GOG installers don't actually work on old PCs. e.g., you can't run the original(non-EE) Baldur's Gate installer on a Win98 installation.

[wndrbr]

Yeah, GOG installers are made using Innosetup with some custom scripting. They should work on Win XP.

[maidenhaver]

They should work on Win XP.

They do. I installed a bunch of dos-98 games to a thinkpad, last year.

[rusty_shackleford]

WinXP is NT-based, they don't work with Win98.

I can tell you from personal experience that you can install GoG games on WinXP (sp2).
Or at least you could up to 2020. Haven't tried subsequently.
I loaded a 2018 build of GoG Terraria on my old WinXp machine and it worked perfectly.

Both the installer and the game. Zero issues.
