yes, for the most part. unless im REALLY interested in a game, i generally wait till i find it on 50%+ sale. the last game i bought on full price was hi-fi rush, and the last one before that would have been dmc5, if the rx580 i bought at the time didnt already have a code included

Just read the description on his profile. I love when people assume that they must be right because everyone disagrees with them

shakes head somberly

a surprise to be sure, but an unfortunate one

same goes for steam, epic launcher, etc. with the exception of gog (though generally if steam removes a game, they at least let you keep your copy if you already own it)

when you are so “left” you think liberals are leftist.

supporting an imperialist nation in its land-grab (and the ones that will likely follow) isnt left-wing

i love that you are supposed to rip it into piece, but only after you tabbed it

“abandon all hunger, ye who enter here”

goddamn i read parts of the article trying to figure out which company… Im not a marketing guy, but nobody can tell me that “nothing” is marketable brand.

would be interesting to see a chart like this for some recent western release for comparison

yup, though i think in this case it makes more sense to interrogate the honesty of craig brown, since the claim comes from him. daily mail is just reporting on (advertising) his book

if they did, they really didnt get their moneys worth: https://archive.ph/VNmp2

offtopic, but nobody can tell me that words like “phthalate” arent created to be mispronounced

i mean i guess thats one way to put it

didnt know a control sequel is in the works

I also have this one, maybe it will inspire you:

have some lemmy gold

confusion? if anything, this just makes clearer that the IBA is talking absolute BS

from this article:

She had previously competed without issues and was disqualified by the sport’s governing body only after she defeated Russian boxer Azalia Amineva in the 2023 tournament. The IBA is controlled by Umar Kremlev, who is Russian and brought in the state-owned energy supplier Gazprom as its primary sponsor and moved much of the governing body’s operations to Russia.

This week, the IOC described it as “a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA” in which Khelif and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan “were suddenly disqualified without any due process.” Lin was suspended for failing to meet unspecified eligibility requirements in a biochemical test.

The reasons for the two disqualifications are extremely murky, as is almost always the case with the IBA. The governing body has revealed little about the nature of the tests, including what was tested and who tested it. This lack of transparency would be unacceptable in major Olympic sports, and the IBA has been banned from the Olympics since 2019.

wait is it just straight up removed, or censored like b****?
