As far as i know the full game is entirely playable without spending a dime more than the price of the game.

That’s not the point, they took something that was free and community-driven and locked it down so you can only install things from the store where everything costs money. Only specific people even have access to make mods in that version.

as it is what bankrolls the studio to keep pumping out free updates every year.

They’re not a small indie company. Mojang earns hundreds of millions of dollars per year. They can afford to do something with the game other than pumping out dozens of microtransactions a month. They could optimize the good version of the game but actively choose not to. They promised a proper modding toolkit for the game but never made it because it would harm their paid store. The game practically lives off its modding community and in the last 10 years they’ve done nothing for them.

Nothing that bad, but the updates are insanely slow and the roadmap of things they promised in 2021 took 3-4 years instead of one. At this rate the game could spend a decade in early access.

Minecraft is a special case. They promise a lot and what we got is a version of the game that’s microtransaction hell. Texture packs, mods, maps, etc all cost outrageous amounts of money in the console/windows10 version of the game. The community is mad because they’re clearly spending way more money on making content for the store than doing any actual updates for the game. The most we get is something like a new mob every six months…

shocking users

Are they shocked though? It’s getting common for piracy sites to disappear or move to different domains, there are always alternatives

Even if one gets bored of the game itself, there’s a practically infinite number of mods and community content out there. New game modes like skyblock, mods that turn it into an RPG with magic systems, mods that make it an in-depth factory building game, mods that take you to new realms and thousands of items to discover… There’s a lot to enjoy.

Adventure maps are also fairly underrated. There are tons of community-made maps that can turn it into a different game. Notably, there was a huge Hogwarts campaign with quests and spells that turns it into a harry potter game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKcsoE5X4fc

The apocalypse will happen before we get Bloodborne on PC

No, sadly. You can share it with friends via family sharing though.

Is the first Rolling Sparks change just removing that bug where you free aim it at the ground to cause it to deal all it’s damage at once?

Yup. They also apparently nerfed how it works, so even aiming in a straight line won’t deal much damage to large enemies.

It’ll be delisted but should still be downloadable to anyone who owns it IIRC

I never knew that, thanks for sharing! Also, username checks out.

Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.

People said the same thing when the original Vision Pro came out. Aside from some rich people flexing that they own one, I haven’t heard anything about it after one week of release.

Apple will reportedly ditch the outside screen to make it more affordable for interested buyers, and instead of the $3,500 price, it would set it at around $1,500 to $2,000.

That’s still way too expensive for what it offers.

I played it on release and it’s pretty fun but not for everyone. It’s an open world adventure game (not actually a roguelike) and it’s pretty vague on what you need to do and where you need to go. It’s super polished and still interesting, I’d recommend it for fans of old-school adventure games.

That’s what the title says though - It was content meant for a DLC that never happened.

Oh yeeeesss, I had no idea they were working on a sequel to the original short

Very nice. I played the first one and it was alright, hopefully the sequel can be fun too.

I need to go to australia to see what this ‘plane’ thing is all about

TIL paracetamol isn’t a worldwide thing. Huh.
