The owners of the company get a fat check while the employees gets shafted. Same as with any corporate merger.

And that means there was a failure of OpSec in that it allowed someone untrustworthy access to sensitive information.
A key part of OpSec is figuring out who to trust and how much of it they are extended.

OpSec includes vetting people and structuring your organization in a way that frustrates a rat’s ability to gain access to sensitive information.
Having a structured internal network for the union isn’t “a bit much”, it’s a basic necessity to proper organization.

Haven’t played a Nintendo game in over a decade because fuck Nintendo for how they treat the consumer.
Just because you’re feckless and have no integrity doesn’t mean other people don’t as well.

Yup. I loved the game and have been waiting for a sequel but fuck Sony, so this announcement might as well not exist for me.

Why else do you think they stopped releasing titles on PC?

Fallout 3 is one of the few games I’ve ever actually played all the way through (ADHD is a bitch) and man I’ll never forget being so mad that Fawkes, the radioactively immune supermutant, refused to go into the radiation filled chamber to save the day and forced me to do it instead.
Yes, I know the game has, since its original release, been updated to include it as an option (even if they have Fawkes shame you for being “cowardly” for choosing it).

Denuvo is an Austrian company, not American.
This isn’t about American corporate culture. It’s a capitalist culture.

on Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC devs faced “diametrically opposed” feedback from players in the West and Japan in c/games@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026
The friction in DD2 is exactly why I loved the game. It didn’t hold the hand. You had to pay attention to the world and actually immerse yourself in it.
It made it feel as if you weren’t just playing a game but were roleplaying a character.

Not worth buying with how they have treated the dev team with these lay offs but it’s a perfectly reasonable game to pirate if one wants to play it.

Also, it isn’t that big of a deal in a turn based tactics game to have all the animations be silky smooth or responsive like it is in games with real-time combat. The quality doesn’t directly affect the play experience for the most part.
A turn based game at 30 frames plays the same as it does at 60 or 120. It only doesn’t look as good. Can’t say the same for other genres.

This is why I pirate most games unless it’s from indie devs. Fuck any and every corpo entity. Like hell I’m gonna let them profit from me while stabbing those who actually did the work in the back.

Agreed on all points.
As I said in my other comment, Exodus isn’t a bad game. It’s actually very enjoyable. It just didn’t feel like a METRO game.
The 2nd game did suffer from sequelitus. It was fun but the writing was not nearly as up to par with the first, and that lack of hook in the writing made the last half of the game drag cause you weren’t nearly as invested in what was going on half the time.

on METRO 2039 | Gameplay Trailer - Renegade in c/games@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Just gonna copy my comment from the last time this was discussed on this sub ——— Exodus wasn’t necessarily a bad game. It just didn’t feel like a Metro game.
The first two games in the Metro series exemplified a rich, linear story experience with intricate and interwoven characters, condensed level design, and strict resource management. They had a very specific and distinct atmosphere and experience. There was very little extra fluff outside of hidden secrets and logs. Everything was centered around telling the story it wanted to tell, even down to the gameplay mechanics themselves like using bullets for currency.
Exodus broke away from a lot of it to have a more open experience which unfortunately required a lot of fluff to fill the empty space of an open world design. The events in each region didn’t really have anything to make me care about it. Even if it does provide a much larger view of how society outside of the Metro had adapted, a lot of the content just didn’t feel any connection to Artyom and crew like it was in the older games.
The open world aspect also completely invalidated the resource management aspect of the Metro games. They were not able to pull it off in the way that Stalker’s very intricate economy systems do for making an open world with the feeling of limited resources. It was way too easy to farm stuff. I never worried about bullets after the first hours, in a series where bullets are supposed to be scarce enough for use as currency.As a long time fan of Metro, Exodus kinda felt like something “other” wearing the skin of the series rather than an actual Metro game. I feel they wanted to have a good, traditional Metro experience but it is everything else that feels added on to try and bring in a wider audience that resulted in a lot of older Metro fans, like me, feeling like the game was half-baked.

Exodus is exactly how NOT to make a Metro game. It’s the furthest removed from the core gameplay of the Metro series to the point it is only a Metro game in name alone.

Layoffs are hitting the developers of hit titles such as the Dark Pictures Anthology and Until Dawn.
If you’re allowing anonymous people into your private server you have failed in your OpSec.
The solution to this is to not allow anonymous people into a private server used for organizing. You vet them first before giving access. Basic OpSec 101.
