Even if Sega came out with a new console, who cares? Traditional consoles are dead.

Sonic Adventure fans be like:

Original Ninja Gaiden trilogy is great (I hate Ninja Gaiden II's stage hazards but still).

Super Mario Kart... eh, it's pretty average compare to the kart racers that came after it. It's not worth playing beyond curiostiy or nostalgia.

There is nothing wrong with Super Mario World but for some reason it doesn't quite click with me.

Battletoads would be a fun game if knew what the fuck it wanted to be.

Original Metroid? It's kinda jank and a pain to play without a map, just play Zero Mission.

Zelda's overworld can fuck right off, I swear it's only there to sell strategy guides. Dungeons are fun but if I already dumped 50$ on the game in the 80s only to realize there is no way to get through it without a guide or a magazine I wouldn't be super jazzed.

Tetris is a timeless classic.

Atari was great until 83, I think Activision's 2600 library hasn't aged one bit. It's all downhill from there, computers were the place to be for Western titles back then.

There are no consequences for the leadership when they fuck up.

See, this is why the liveservice model is fundementally bad. Even if they don't fuck it up on launch, they can always fuck it up later.

Stick to offline folks.

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a try. It is one of the most creative games I have ever played and is now one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. This game is the game that made me take visual novels seriously. Before this I just though they were all typical, anime-esque romance stuff. I want to try more of this stuff.

Lmao, that's what they spent the meme stonks money on?

There is actually a fantastic video essay about Gamestop bros by Folding Ideas (the guy who made Line Goes Up) called "This is financial advise". I highly recommend listening to it, the whole thing turned out to be way more complicated than it seemed.

My hope would be that this encourages open source engine usage but it'll probably simply make Unreal Engine more popular instead.

"Redfall is looking awesome, it has Arkane's best gunplay yet."

BG3 guys continuing to be awesome.

Paying money to save money from imaginary lost sales...

and

404: couldnt_find_community

errors respectively, do any of you have this issue aswell? Has this been already reported?
