Clip Studio uses a monthly subscription model for IpadOS and Android. I'd rather pay a one time fee than pay forever.

You can write off a private jet, which is terrible for carbon emissions, but you can't write off an electric car?

Regardless of political leanings, if one of the steps in your master plan is "receive pardon from glorious leader once they return to power", you might want to rethink what you're about to do.

I realized the only game I play online is FFXIV, which doesn't require PS+. I almost never play the "free" games they add to the service, and spend a non-zero amount of time browsing said free games in an effort to find something to play rather than something in my backlog. So I just canceled.

My membership is up in December and I doubt I'll even notice when it's gone.

You can customize them through the emulator (or Steam) to make the controls a bit more modern. I found a community layout for AC2 when I played in on my Steam Deck that made it feel much more like how AC6 plays.

For the three of us who bought a PSVR2, the foveated rendering they finally added with this update is fantastic. Still not as good as playing it on a TV, but so much better than the blurry mess it used to be.

The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you're talking about when you call it "X".

It's so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.

You can ask people to call it "X" all day, every day, but you can't just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.

I've been a huge fan of the series for over 30 years at this point. I just wish the last twenty years were as good at the first ten.

I waited to buy every entry after FF10, and everytime (with the exception of XIV 2.0) I've been disappointed.

I really feel let down by XVI. None of the trailers made me excited, everytime they showed the gameplay I was betrayed, and when I played the demo I was bored.

All of the post-release feedback was so positive though, so I ended up buying it 2 weeks after it came out.

I still haven't finished my, despite having it for almost 6 weeks. It's just so bad. I was able to push myself through XV and I actually enjoyed the XIII trilogy, but this just feels like some Final Fantasy flavored (barely), easy to the point of inducing sleep, action game.

I agree for the most part. However, due to how Steam only lets its users review games in a binary manner of good or bad, and how prominent Overwatch 2 is (major publisher, highly advertised), I think this is a case where it is warranted.

It's easy to assume that everyone has the same level of interest and enthusiasm in the game's industry to follow all of the shitty practices, both in terms of development and just in general, that Blizzard has demonstrated over the years, but people like us are not the target audience for their ads and we aren't the people they're trying to get to play OW2.

Most people who fire up Steam don't know who Blitzchung is. They haven't heard about the whole breast milk thing, or about the bathroom camera thing. On top of that, they haven't looked into anything about OW2, so they won't know about how the game was only developed to move the previous entry's player base into the new fleecing "free"-to-play model. They won't know about the promised, yet cut content. They'll just see the banner ad and click on it to check to see what the game is all about. Seeing an immediate overwhelmingly negative review is going to make them pause and then check out the comments to see what's going on.

And also this is really the only way Gamers have to let their voices be heard against gaming companies like this. The statement of vote with your wallet doesn't work with a free-to-play title like this. It also doesn't matter, because whales are going to play it anyway and that's where all of their money comes from. The overwhelmingly negative review at the very least could potentially prevent additional people from falling victim to their schemes.
