An overview of the development cycle and why the game was released unbaked
Pretty cool! According to our list there is someone working there
but who knows
Another great moment on @FMPONE's Cache

Where the old textures from Max Payne?
Randy is kinda happy of the review bombing (I guess he’s taking it as an affirmation of taking the right choice)
AMC keeps their word on the threats of future content, and announces a new show (the third) based in the TWD universe. Will focus on young survivors that have been born and raised during the apocalypse
Thought I’d recognise mid! Good job, coming along nicely!
also yes, hoping Shawn gets back to commenting 
I think the idea of inverting map spawns like in driving games, is not too bad and could be interesting… you have to move the bomb sites tho and probably modify (the original) T-spawn ti accommodate for the bombsites.
Love the rough Brit accent (is that cockney?).
Dont understand at all what the cheat is supposed to be doing, not that I care, just looks fun.
Was this one of the maps FMPONE looked at when he was streaming map comments?
I do like a lot many of the angles presented there
First teaser of the spin-off clown prince movie that should start DC’s new strategy of doing Elseworlds stories and see what sticks
Quote from FrieChamp4 hours ago, FrieChamp said: Not entirely sure what report you are referring to specifically but I don't see anything wrong with testing out the waters on PC first and distribute via their own platform where their core audience is. Then tweak the game and add a layer of complexity later by porting it to mobile. Basically what Blizzard did with Hearthstone. Valve is not a mobile-first company and saying that the game would have been more successful there because card games are popular on the platform (just taking your word here) is a giant leap. Also, imagine what the gamers' reaction would have been if they had made a DOTA game for mobile first/only ? (actually no need to imagine just see last year's blizzcon).
Sorry, was at an event so didn’t articulate properly.
For report I mean the air quotes from FMPONE earlier (https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/topic/23186-ep…&comment=446651) of Valve not understanding their audience. I don’t believe it one bit! I don’t believe they are oblivious fans would want any sequel or any new AAA IP from them.
I do agree, what you say is right/the logical thing to do, but surely you can find ways around… like incorporating a spin-off studio and publish the game as if was an external dev. People didn’t go aggro on them when the Portal bridge builder game was published. Sure you can’t assume success if this was on another platform, but makes more sense in terms of broad strategy. Think this: by publishing on the same platform where your core audience is, brings to cannibalisation, you are competing with yourself for your fans attention… you think I’d waste money and time on a CSGO spin off when I can play the real thing? Yes there’s the odd time you don’t fancy going hardcore, but you’d rather want to catch me and keep me playing the same IP/brand for as much time I can play in a day, not just 100% of the time I’m on my PC. Also it seems to me just as much a big leap to assume that because you have a core audience, they’ll slurp up a completely different game.
I guess we all agree that Valve is somewhat “cursed”, but there are examples of successful spin-offs from massive IPs, think Hitman GO, Lara Croft GO, Fallout Shelter (they all made their way back to the big platforms!).

In a recent article on PC Gamer https://www.pcgamer.com/40-percent-of-…ont-have-steam/ Epic said they now have 85 million users and that 40% of them don't have Steam installed on their systems. How did they find that out? Well, it must have been one hell of a survey.
Not sure if you’re asking or alluding to the recent (found!) accusations that Epic Launcher has spyware features, as they accessed some Steam data. That easily gave them that percentage.
Also –as usual– you can spit numbers and make it look like something else. Probably most of those 40% just have Fortnite installed? Another one: my colleague installed it at work just so he can accept the free games as soon as the notification pops up (yes Epic is giving free games regularly, currently is The Witness).
I understand the comfort zone problem lots people have, but that’s just noise, business doesn’t care of people feelings and platforms have been popping up for a while. EA has their platform, Blizzard has it, and they have beloved franchises you can access only from their launcher. Deal with it.
@FMPONE CDProject came out to say they won’t go Epic exclusive, so I wouldn’t even talk about that. Plus they have GOG, if they were ever going exclusive would be on their own platform… like Valve did!

On the subject of Valve, I dunno how or why anyone would come out saying what has been reported, is just bollocks. Sounds like cheap damage control. If they cared about making a successful game, they would have made Artifact for mobile, it’s my understanding card games are quite successful there.
Ultimately it seems to show that the hyped flat structure doesn’t really work, at least can’t solve problems across such a wide spectrum of interest (google is pretty flat and I think there’s quite the parallel with Valve, how many projects have they killed because of poor engagement from the audience?)
Anyone at this years event? I managed to get the day off today, just heading to Brenda Romero’s talk.
Gutted, thought John Romero was on both days! ☹️

There’s a Sniper Elite talk tomorrow, @Beck you part of the crew?
NowTV movie pass is increasing price on the 5th so tried to get some stuff out of my watchlist: yep, got to 36 without ever seeing Taxi Driver before
Red Sparrow was unexpectedly long and explicit

This came up on my stream, haven’t seen it yet, dunno what kind of schedule they’re doing
