Honest to God, this is a PR slam dunk if they do that. They get to write if the pay out as a donation to charity for tax purposes, get the lime light of them doing something generous for a cancer patient, and can show that they take the few breeches of their malware.qall seriously. Hell they could probably double the pay out and they wouldn’t even notice the loss.

40·3 months agoLike the other guy said it’s a patient. I don’t know why these days it seems like the patent office is allowing patents for vague concepts, But it needs to stop. The entirety of the video game industry is built on itineration of ideas and concepts that came before. How much longer before they try to patent jumping?

Games@lemmy.world•How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help)English
1·4 months agoHonestly sounds like an interesting concept. From I was.gling in blind at least your idea sounds interesting enough to warrant giving a demo a try.
My only word of caution is that you said you wanted to make a dark comedy about ethics and that’s going to be a tough sell at the best of times. That isn’t to say that there is no audience for something with gallows/macabre/dark satire humor, just that that group is small from the jump.
One of the more interesting takes I’ve seen on the trolley problem is the “double and pass” wrinkle. Where it starts with you and the person you value the most on the track on one side and a random stranger on the other. And your choice is to either sacrifice your loved one or spare both passing the decision on to the next person where it’s doubled. As in their loved one versus two strangers.

Games@lemmy.world•A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causesEnglish
205·6 months agoBecause Nintendo jealously guards even the ideas that their IPs create. You just saw them go to the courts to make their patents be a little more vague just so they could try to take down Palworld. And they know that as long as they can corner the market on those specific experiences you’ll have to come back to them in order to get it. It’s very much like a drug dealer getting rid of other drug dealers that might come into their neighborhood so that the only drug is their drug and the only place to get it is through them.

Games@lemmy.world•Sci-fi and fantasy are at odds in Split Fiction, which makes no senseEnglish
22·10 months agoI feel that Sci-Fi and Fantasy are different. Especially enough to be seen as two different genres.

Games@lemmy.world•Sci-fi and fantasy are at odds in Split Fiction, which makes no senseEnglish
3·10 months agoSee, I feel like both Sci-Fi and Fantasy have enough different that the should be sperate genres. I think the combining them is to the detriment of both. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve given up looking for something new to watch because I click Sci-Fi and every listing is Lord of the Rings.

Games@lemmy.world•Sci-fi and fantasy are at odds in Split Fiction, which makes no senseEnglish
255·10 months agoI guess I’m the odd one out then. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan. Ender’s Game still stands as my favorite book after all these years. But I’m not too crazy about fantasy. I’ve bounced off of books, shows, and movies that my friends and family loved. They just seemed to be mediocre stories with fantasy paint on it and people who like Wizards were able to gloss over the holes.
It’s not unheard of for people to not be interested in the other genre. But those people are outnumbered by consumers who just want the new thing.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•GTA 6's console-only launch reminds me of how much I despise console exclusivity - is it worth waiting years for PC ports?English
27·10 months agoI find it extremely hard to empathize with PC players from the mountains of PC only games that have never come to consoles.

In the first game: John’s last stand. The first time I felt a game ever said to me: “You did everything right, but it’s still not going to go your way.”
In the second game: the cough in the beginning. I had done a report on the mythos of the wild West while in highschool and knew exactly what was happening when it did.
