I think the fact that people treat them different is the argument that, when the company themselves are taking a cut of that RMT, they have a financial incentive to design systems that would make you want to use it, even more so than when it's something done against the TOS.

It's why Diablo 3 had to remove it, the grind got much better after it was gone.

You are very confused, the pity is only for the S rank characters, getting an A rank does not reset it, and every game resets your pity when you get a S rank, they being the new one from the banner or someone that's been in the game for a while, but the second time you hit pity will be the banner S rank, just like genshin and star rail.

you’re not that much more likely to get the 4* you want from a banner than the 5*, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get it at all

This literally happened to me lol, wanted to get some constellations for YaoYao and walked away only with Alhaitam and no constellations. Didn't spend a dime though, the only money I put on genshin was buying a skin.

It's not a rarity, all eastern games show a percentage because their local jurisdiction (often china and japan) require it by LAW, they didn't do it for the goodness of their hearts.

Yes, I'm on the camp that lootboxes and gacha should be for adults only since it preys on the same desire, also I know card games are like this too and it was wrong that they got away with it for so long BUT you can at least sell your cards.

But the industry said you whales were rich gamers that had too much money and didn't know what to do with it! /s

This reads like “the only moral Skinner box is my Skinner box.”

It is, MMO players have been doing this to gacha games for years now, it's just pot calling the kettle black.

Working? They just put a small print about lootboxes, they don't even raise the game's rating to AO for having this literal gambling with money, they are useless.

Not very many I bet since everyone is an internet tough guy, I never actually fought in my life.

They were promoting it on last year's TGS with Harada from Tekken and everything, they aren't sleeping.

I would watch videos fact checking these knives, I think I saw a chocolate knife or cardboard knife

 

Update [Fri 16th Aug, 2024 10:10 BST]: The Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon recompilation project has now added support for the English version of the game, as spotted by the individual Rondleman on Twitter.

I've been enjoying playing SM64 recompiled so this is great news.

 

Hello, now that the free tier of Proton doesn't let you select a country anymore, I can't access my japanese exclusive browser games so I'm searching for a new free VPN just to login.

I know all that you are the product if it's free bla bla bla, I just want free one that let's me connect from Japan, that acts more like a trial since I don't use a VPN enough to pay monthly for it.

 

Yamamoto: As a publisher, we would like to deliver it to PC users as well, but per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing on console. In other words, there are no plans to port it to PC currently.

Did a PC gamer piss on Itsuno's mom or something? Even smaller companies like Falcom, Compile Heart and Tamsoft released their games on steam, but Vanillaware continues to refuse to do so. This is so puzzling when you combine it with the other news that they ran out of money as they were developing it.

 

The main focus of Infinity is a live service offering, which is all told via the modern-day story. To start, Infinity will launch on the same day as Red and will contain several features that you would expect from a live service.

‘The Exchange’ will be the item shop, offering players the opportunity to purchase daily and weekly in-game cosmetics for Red’s two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke

We don't even have a gameplay trailer but we already know it's a live service single player lmao. Hard pass.

 

Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a 'mixed' rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been 'mostly negative.'

Maybe release a game when it's ready, so many of these online games are releasing broken and getting their roadmap pushed back because they have to fix it asap.

 

On January 26, the organizers warned they'd have to switch to CS2 if nobody signs up. Despite its open nature, they received zero signups. "Valorant is not dead." assured the announcement post.

 

"I was like, ‘How can this be happening?’" he tells us. "And ‘How come no one is talking about this?’ I was looking at all these game preservationist organisations and nobody was saying anything and the date was just getting closer and closer. So I got worried and pretty much totally out of nowhere I decided to write an open letter to a few different organisations in October, telling them, ‘Hey, you guys have got to start raising awareness of this because thousands of games are going to get lost to time.’"

As a direct result of Cosmo's open letter, the Game Preservation Society in Japan was able to successfully download 876 DoCoMo games before the shutdown occurred on November 30th, but these games now sit on aging hardware with the process of removing them from a device being far from simple.

Crazy that history was almost completely lost because there's no money for these companies in preserving the games they themselves made.

 

This is an ambitious japan only game that had an open world but was also an adventure/survival horror, very unique.

 

My favorite ecchi currently, funny and with diverse bodies that are rare in japanese media, I also used some of the yoga instructions to repair my lower back strength.

 

Ok but where is the ROM? This is the world version, what's already out there is the japanese one.

 

The news comes years after the eldritch horror maker's dispute with publisher Nacon began. In 2020, the studio pulled The Sinking City from all stores, accusing Nacon of missing payments, holding back €1 million in royalties, and claiming IP rights to the game -- something the studio insisted had always belonged to it.

I can finally buy it now, since the only place you could get it before where the money went to Frogwares, was on epic.

 

As much as people would love to think that localizers are getting what they deserve, this isn't the bad ones being removed, it's just cost saving.

I for one won't pay for AI translation of anything since I can do that on my own if I wanted to read a machine translation.
