That’s cute that you think any new original top tier titles are coming out this year.
It’s remakes and sequel slop all the way down for the major publishers

on Internet centralization and the original sin of NAT in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
NAT is not a firewall (as you mention) but the premise that it should be trivial to run an internet connected service isn’t realistic when there are so many bad actors on the network

on Is Old or New Call of Duty better? in c/games@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
Call of Duty: United Offensive is my favorite game of all time.
MW to Black Ops 1 were good games but I still play UO to this day.
We play competitive S&D every Tuesday and Sunday and casual CTF and BAS servers are populated every other day.

on Physical Video Game Software Dollar Sales Plunged to an All-Time July Low of Just $85 Million in the US — the Worst Total Since Tracking Began in 1995 in c/games@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
I would consider Steam a special case compared to Sony or Microsoft trying to discontinue the production of physical games.
For one, the PC physical market was a mess of DRM solutions. Ones that either required middleware to be running on your PC like SecuROM or Denuvo, only allowed a limited number of installations before voiding the CD key, or required the disc inserted at all times, or a combination of all 3.
So Steam was a welcome disruption, it also didn’t outright replace big box software as a means of distributing PC games, it just phased out naturally. And there is nothing preventing a company from releasing a physical big box edition of any of their games on PC.
But with Sony ending production of discs, even people who want to release their games on disc, won’t be able to in the future

It is a visceral reaction from people who feel like your choices have actively harmed their gaming experience.
Really the gaming industry has been shit as a whole since Xbox tried to pull this crap in 2013. They just kicked the can down the road a decade and we are now feeling it

Yeah it’s a moronic turn of the industry that you can’t actually play the game off the disc and have to manually manage your console’s storage. I have hardly bought any game the last two generations because of it. I’m not going to uninstall a good game for any piece of crap game.
Depends on why he’s stalking you
