I’m not disputing that Palworld isn’t popular, but I hate when companies advertise with “40M players”

40M purchases is fine, which is very impressive for a paid game. If I buy a game, never play it or play it once, then I’m not ‘playing’ that game.

I’m not one of those people who pretends they will play a physical disc game for the rest of their life

I do however like physical for two reasons. Firstly, the price, how tf can you justify charging more when you are cutting out all of the middlemen and listing on your own online store. Secondly, resale. I can buy a game, play it and resell.

If the tradeoff on going digital was that games were 50% cheaper, then I’d be happy. I wouldn’t have to hoard games and I’d have the convenience of digital.

Overhyped and overpriced

Then there’s Rockstar as an employer, terrible customer service, greedy and clearly exploit their staff from the UK union claims

This could be the greatest game ever created and I won’t buy it because of the company and also pricing

“Copies sold” is a much better measure

It bugs me when GW2 also does this with “over 12 million players” when actually it’s registered accounts.

I know people who have and use multiple POF accounts obtained freely, including a guy who literally has 83 accounts and uses them all every reset.

Oh c’mon. This was hardly a last minute publisher decision following Sony’s announcement.

I was raised by athiests, but neither parent gave any indication that they were and let me make my own opinions and decisions.

In fact, when I was young I actually went to church due to there being a free minibus, along with a youth club for any children.

It was around the age where I realised the tooth fairy and Santa Claus wasn’t real, that I came to my senses and realised that magic sky gods, bible magic etc was a load of crap as well

The difference is even now people are talking about the horrific stories of Nazi Germany

This will just be forgotten

How do they know this? How would you even measure temperature past a certain point

I’m very disliked - I’m not afraid to call BS out, speak my mind, I’m not false around senior management and treat everybody equally. I put my foot down with wrong doings, particularly those affecting employments rights (where others put their head in the sand)

I don’t do socials, I’m probably overly keen and grab work at any opportunity which makes others look bad. I’ve made suggestions that have improved the way we work, which others have taken credit for.

What have I learned?

It’s just a job. The only thing I have in common with most people is we work in the same place. I’ve learned not to care.

Or a stalker.

They all live in one shared house, he’s outside the front door.

Of course, it’s Japan. What do people think that anime was based on? Clearly not fiction.

They share the same bed

There is no world where Nintendo had you covered

Their hardware and systems, particularly any online connectivity is 20hrs behind. They’ve also be the shittiest of them all with price hikes

Now I’m imagining ‘Moon Melons, Moon Mangos and Moon Mangetout”

So true!

Also, I was quite surprised it’s 280km. Pretty impressive

With Discord losing some popularity recently, I think the best thing they could do is create some sort of hybrid platform with connected apps (ie your profile also having a snapshot of Steam, PSN, Bnet, Microsoft etc)

Maybe even partner with more niche games/companies

Finland does a lot right, but this I can’t get my head around

Surely the people are ordering are going to be those bulk purchasing for over consumption or alcoholics?

PS5 physical and sell if you are on the fence or only play on playing them once

GoG if there’s an option

Steam otherwise?

Thank you, I was mixing it up with the Vita

I’d imagine some of these people are actually conditioned into developing it
