1 daySo Roblox is already complete shit exploitation machine but adding in this crutch as you put it to kids that are in the one of the most influential part of their development and making this the norm and to not develop any skills, to accept slop as art and not developing their own style and stunting their ability before it gets a chance to develop.
To use your own analogy, I see it as giving a perfectly able kid a crutch and teaching them that’s how to properly walk. You get fucked up adults that can never run.
According to a statement Does it play? gave to Kotaku, the license-checks may have been introduced to combat refund scams, but were designed to convert into unlimited licenses afterward.
That appears to be the case, with an SIE spokesperson telling GameSpot the following:
“Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game’s license, after which no further check-ins are required.”
So yes, it was a big brain move by Sony to make piracy more appealing by screwing with paying gamers.
Considering the publisher and parent company, Nacon, filed for insolvency and one of the reasons the studio is shutting down, it’s possible that it would be delisted.
That’s just a damn shame. I guess I’ll be on the look out for when greedfall 2 will be deslisted and see if I can grab it for a decent discount.

I guess I would call this the Telltale model where you have episodic releases. My only concern would be the overall price a person for what would be considered the full game in the bastardization of the Paradox DLC model where the “complete” game is hundreds of dollars.
Still it would be a interesting early access experiment.

Yup. AI might, and I mean might, be a force multiplier for senior developers but this whole “Everyone can just let AI code” is bullshit that will lead to a giant mess of unmanageable code when your developers your maturing don’t understand the underlying code or good software architecture.
Oh and also I’m right there with you with the fuck that whole ELOC bullshit as a metric.
Looks like they may be implementing a pay as they go model

For digital purchases? I don’t remember having that on my ps3 and 4 days for games that was purchased but then again it’s been literally a decade since I’ve used one.
The free PS+ games sure, you had to have a connection but for games you outright bought, as long as it was on installed your machine it was playable with or without a internet connection. That’s what I remember at least but then again, it’s been a very long time since I’ve used any console.
From another site:
There is speculation in the PlayStation homebrew community that the change was a way for Sony to sneak in code that will hamper modders. An online check-in is a common tactic against modded hardware, as it prevents illegally downloaded games from being played on the console unless it connects to the internet, which then begins the process of downloading and installing the latest firmware.
Inconveniencing everyone because of a sale you never had. Brilliant.

I think that at that price, I’ll wait until my current Xbox controller and old steam controller I currently use dies or it’s on a heavy discount before I pick one up.

The original deal was that 90% went to the three execs and 10% went to the workers.
So I would say feel free to hate all of them already.
Congrats on making the dumbest statement so far today.
