Moola posted:it is genuinely hilarious how many times SE has self owned Sideshow Bob style, Spirits Within and FFXIV 1.0 being the most obvious examples I mean, that's pretty good business sense? Not putting all your eggs in one basket? If anything it's a refreshing change from how Squeenix had been sending their other IPs out to die with unrealistic sales expectations while treating Final Fantasy as the only thing that matters.

Pretty sure they've been making Space Invaders games for ages, I had fun with Space Invaders Extreme 2 on the DS.

The last Space Invaders game I played was Infinity Gene, and it was dope as gently caress. It’s coming to Games with Gold later this month, I think.

Space Invaders 64 is an underrated game that evolves the game beyond it's arcade origins with more complex mechanics and more thoughtful enemy design including boss battles.

Somehow despite playing it on PC and not N64 I knew exactly the version you were talking about and that game owned as a kid.

square was so sure that Spirits Within would be a massive hit that they created a film studio to make it. it ended up only making spirits within and a short for the animatrix and cost square 94 million dollars lmao

FF11 made Square so much money they let the guy who made it have carte blanche with FF14 and he decided to not look at anything in the MMO world for influence because he got high on his farts and the rest is history

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2022-01-10-take-two-acquires-zynga Take-Two is buying Zynga for $12.7 billion. They are doing this to make a huge expansion into mobile markets: quote:Looking ahead, Take-Two expects mobile to comprise over 50% of net bookings for fiscal year 2023 as a result of the merger, compared to the estimated 12% in 2022. Some other large industry mergers and acquisitions, for comparison: EA/Glu, $2.4 billion (2021) EA/Codemasters, $1.2 billion (2020) Microsoft/ZeniMax, $8.1 billion (2020) Tencent/Supercell, $8.6 billion (2016) Activision-Blizzard/King, $5.9 billion (2015) Microsoft/Mojang, $2.5 billion (2014) Facebook/Oculus, $2 billion (2014) Also worth noting that Zynga and Take-Two have both shown a lot of interest in integrating "blockchain tech" and NFTs into their games. Fun stuff ahead! Which one of you guys is still playing FarmVille?

Their stance is basically "wait, our mods were doing WHAT?" hopefully it's true but even if it isn't, it means they're sufficiently embarassed to be shamed into making it better

These are the people who used google translate to make the game available in multiple languages so I have to assume the mods are unpaid volunteers or something.

yeah, and while this isn't an excuse at all, the mod in question is so eastern european that he thinks 'transgenderism' is the correct english word choice. again, not an excuse at all, but different places have different perceptions of stuff and it's hard to get unpaid volunteers from around the globe to all be on the same page with regard to the issues of the day, even if nobody involved is actively hateful.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:a ban on politics is fine but when you try to extend that ban to being gay or transgender there is a problem Coming from gaming in the 90s, "Gay" was such a loaded word that I'm shocked it was not banned out of hand by automated script. I know times are changing, but how the devil does something like this blow up like this unless its trolling? If you follow the line of questioning it appears the user is bating a ban so he can push some hidden agenda. You have some poor mod who is use to trolls and stuff in general chat and follows rule 0 in that you don't feed the trolls. Also Gay and Trans people (along with anyone else) don't generally jump directly to "I am gay". Its more something that comes out of a general chat or if someone expresses interest in someone. So this really feels like someone was able to bate a poor mod and less like some kind of global conspiracy or company stand.

also we live in an era where people have their pronouns in their twitter bio and often have pride flags in them too, people absolutely introduce themselves with that stuff. spend literally two minutes in any online space with people below the age of 30 and you'll have a bulleted list of sexualities and gender identities you had never even conceived of before that moment.

like no seriously im gonna give you good faith here and assume its just cultural disconnect from you probably being on the older side given the 07 reg date/'gaming in the 90s' and sutff and probably spending time in older-leaning communities but like, this is just how people talk now. im in a couple official discords for mobile games and the self-intro channels are like 'hi im 20, im lesbian, my pronouns are she/her' and 'hi im 19, im trans' and whenever any new character gets added to a game with art they like everyone talks about how gay they are, both for the character and in general. people talk about how much they like when something is 'gender,' ie has transcoded elements to it. this is just how a ton of people online talk these days, especially younger people. its extremely normal.

Honestly, that last part in isolation reads like "Xoe" is either loving stupid or intentionally dense.  Discussing sexuality has no place in global chat. ??? not a place to discuss sexuality, fetishes, politics wow, you saying it is fetish or political???

this is a very good reason that discussions of "sexuality" being blanket-banned is a bad idea, even if what you really mean is discussions of politics relating to sexuality

haha what posted:baiting some poor mod by asking my basic human rights to be respected My point is that this person is addressing a mod, after reading the rules, and wants to talk about his sexuality on a public form about table top simulation. He/she/they attack the mod with out of context statements: quote:CHRY: Tabletop simulator is about playing tabletop games, not a place to discuss sexuality, fetishes, politics. Keep that to your private lobbies or public chats where these things are the topic at hand. Then as soon as this is all over, said person used this as ammo to attack the rep of the business, bomb the steam account and whatnot. If you replace gay with straight in the above context, a mod might still issue a ban but the trolling becomes more obvious. The mod is clearly but not well able to say "we dont allow conversations about sexuality in global chat for a chat about table top simulators" This would apply to anyone talking about any type for any reason. I am saying from what's presented, this is not someone being banned for talking about something normal, its someone pushing boundaries, being asked to keep conversations of that nature to more appropriate forums, and getting mad that they did something when He/she/they pushed the subject that based on the outcome, He/she/they was going to push till He/she/they got the response he wanted. So it feels like a troll to me. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
