This super bowl is boring as hell so far. I wish I could go play some RE 2 but I have a house full of people.

You can use this button to delete drafts:
I think that feature is pretty good all in all, for the rare times you accidentally close your tab/browser while typing a long post.
There is a feature that auto-saves drafts. Just click on the "Drafts"menu button and click "Delete Draft."
I haven't been keeping up with the Apex Legends threads; is there reason to think it's coming in lieu of Titanfall 3?

Oh, thank you two!
Probably just that Titanfall 2 kinda bombed and this is chasing the BR trend.
I think this is a Xenforo default behaviour thing.
It honestly drives me mad and would like a way to turn it off.
So dumb that even years after implementation you still can't scroll through card emoticons/whatever they call them on mobile when trying to post a comment on the activity feed.
I've never ran a company or made a video game or had to pay people. But...why can't Respawn just keep doing what they like doing? You won't make 3 Billion dollars but if you find a way to make money to pay your people and keep the business running you can keep some sanity by doing things that you enjoy. Unless making your own spin on BR is what you want to do and enjoy. Then by all means you do you boo.
Because EA are terrible and chase the latest trends
They've never known how to run their studios
Dota Autochess has 200K concurrent players: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/amqp2g/autochess_crosses_200k_concurrent_players/
I'm a huge dota fan but haven't never tried this mod and don't really get the appeal. Kinda just want it to die out so my favorite dota streamers can go back to streaming dota :(

Should that be EA and Respawn is the one being ignored?

Immersive-sim fans, check out the stand alone release of The Dark Mod, especially if you love the classic Thief series.

Because it didn't meet expectations.
Companies are not about letting people do what they enjoy. People have to start their own companies if they want to do that which is what many veterans in the industry do.
Companies invest millions in development and pay salaries, healthcare, and other benefits so they are not interested in what employees want, as far as they are concerned they are providing your food and shelter and in exchange you provide talent to execute on their direction.
sure. hd ball shots
Wait, it's standalone now?! Since when?
Hello everyone!
I can't see the link to the discord group while quoting the OP. Help?
Got Wargroove for Switch and I've been having a ton of fun. The level/campaign editor feels like it would control better with K+M, so I'm def gonna double dip with this game once it goes on sale.
And a PSA, if you're interested in trying Anthem but missed the demo, you can currently get a 1 month subscription to Origin Access Basic for 1 dollar. If you're subscribed to the service, you can play a 10 hour trial of Anthem starting in February 15th. The offer ends today tho so you have to hurry.

I think that you need to post in this thread first then you will be able to see it.
lmao
Minimalist puzzle games are great to play while catching up on VoDs, but too bad they don't offer a dedicated windowed interface. I put this particular game in windowed mode on the lowest possible resolution and it's still awkwardly taking up 50% of the screen width.
I don't really see how a "support ticket" system is better than a forum, honestly. If 10K people have the same question, then how is it more economical to answer those 10K people individually (which is what a support ticket system does) than just answer their questions in a forum?
Also, for the most part, people don't want answers, they want the devs to patch the game. Support tickets are useful for more bureaucratic elements, like asking for refunds, or general support, which is what Steam also uses it for. Arguing that it is somehow related to reviews is dumb as bricks.

Not to mention that public forums can help developers because users can find and share workarounds until developer fixes things. Obvious example is Subnautica where devs are sharing Steam Guide post for FAQ and fixes made by user.
Also, if it's an older game? You are fucked.
Have fun figuring out how to run Republic Commando on Windows 10 without a forum. I guess Epic isn't going to sell older games anyway?
Eh? The stand alone release is out like.... forever, 2013 to be precise.
However, it's a great game with some rough edges here and there. Everyone should try it. :)
EDIT: Apparently, i can not read. lol. The 2.07 UPDATE is out now.

Deep Silver withhold information about exclusivity since E3 last year so they can grab as many Steam pre-orders as they can before removing purchase option

https://www.spieltimes.com/news/met...t-epic-games-store-exclusivity-until-e3-2018/
That's always been my problem with this idea. I mean if 10k users have a problem 1 could make a forum post and maybe another (or even a dev) could tell him a workaround until/if the game is patched, then the remaining 9999 users could just google the problem and find a soultion. With a ticketing system the 10k (well probably less because I doubt every user would go to post a ticket) will have to be answered by devs each time.
I remember once at work (where we have a ticketing system for our larger costumers who also have a costum build software) that a patch broke some important part of the software and that day the guy who handled the tickets was out. So I had to rush a hotfix AND handle the tickets at the same time.
I remember that tickets were coming in faster than i could merge them (since I was trying to keep a single ticket so I could notify all the users at once). Then I imagine this happening with a product for end users and I can't see it working.
It should ... But so were the Exodus and then look what happened.
I mean thats horrible. Retailers sold steam keys and even their whole marketing team was using the Steam logo for trailers until January 2019.
Oooof. If true I imagine Valve would take serious action. Though I also have trouble thinking how Valve could independently corroborate this info. But, man, that's really abusing the Steam store presence and marketing.
Never heard about this site, is it trustworthy?
The situation keeps getting worse and worse, Deep Silver didn't expect PR nightmare of this magnitude, that's for sure.
That is not what he said.
The question is: "Was [the decision to release exclusively on the Epic Games Store] made before E3 2018?".
The answer is that the decision was not made before E3, but made well after that.

The thing is if I say "after" that wouldnt mean 9 months later but rather shortly after it.

its about time they get rid of the floppy disk icon, there's at least 2 generations of people who have no idea what that is.

The answer is that the decision was not made before E3, but made well after that.
they were talking about when they were informed, not when the decision was being made.
It's still implies that they knew about the deal before the game was announced as EGS exclusive, and they still decided to collect money from gamers.That is not what he said.
He says "well after that". That cannot mean just after E3.
It is obvious nobody can infer the date from the quoted answer.
True. It does not change the fact that the article does not give any info except that they were not informed before E3 2018 (at least).
The quoted answer suggests that they were informed "well after that", which means "after" but not "just after".
To me, the title of the article is on the verge of making it clickbait. There is no other reason to write "until" when you mean "before".

Deep Silver probably knew that game will be exclusive. 4A continued Steam development because game will be out on Steam for pre-orders.
Yeah that implies 'not long after'.
EDIT - ah, didnt see the 'well'.
'well after E3' sounds like a lot earlier than 2 weeks out from launch. Its a weird one for sure. You'd think Epic would want it pulled off the other store as soon as the deal was done to get their own pre-orders (does Epic do pre-orders?)
"Well after" in this context means the same as "Quite some time after" to me. He didn't just say "After". The only reason E3 2018 is given as a time is because the employee didn't want to mention the actual date and only answered vaguely and I guess E3 2018 was the latest point in time the interviewer asked.
It's not possible to narrow the deal down to a concrete date. "Well after" in that context could also mean January. Or December. Or I don't know. The only thing it tells you for sure is that it was not made before E3 2018.
Could it be months before it was pulled from Steam? Sure. Can we say it really was months before it was pulled from Steam? Not for sure.
There's already enough factual bullshit surrounding this entire topic that we really should be above deliberately interpreting vague interview answers in the worst way.
Picked up Quantum Break's Timeless Collectors Edition for $6.7. I already own the game on Steam, but I wanted that art book. Last psychical game I bought was TW3 and its expansions. I'm a sucker for Collector's Editions that don't come with junk. Just put an artbook in there, maybe a poster and a bluray with some behind the scenes shit. That's all you need.
Will probably be able to sell the Steam code for a profit.

The thing about that "Well after that" is that this is the kind of thing you'd need to know how accurate the transcription is to fully understand. "Well, after that" is different to "Well after that", because the comma would change the meaning of the sentence. As it's written without the comma, though, yeah, it does denote an amount of time after the noted event (E3).
Baron von Loathsome figured you'd appreciate this as we await another Arcade collection from Capcpom
