The record is for time from announcement to release. ES6 was announced 7 years ago, so we’re getting there but not quite. It might still break the record by the time it comes out…

I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.

At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don’t think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.

Hmm I’m not sure about contributing. You’ve presented yourself as someone too broke to afford a VPN so I didn’t think you were buying CDs and ripping flacs. Sorry if I misunderstood your goals. I was more focused on the goal of obtaining files.

Edit: ps, not sure if you saw yet, but I pm’d you about another possible solution.

If they haven’t divested yet, they have no morals and no common sense. Or they are betting on a more friendly future for Nazis. Either way, I think we need to stop caring what Tesla investors think. They’re all Nazi sympathizers at this point.

Either way, if ruins it for everyone else.

How does it ruin it for everyone else? One slow peer does not ruin the network.

Doesn’t Proton have a free VPN tier? I think it doesn’t support port forwarding so your connections would be limited, but that might still work?

Otherwise, check the megathread and go with direct downloads. Those happen over https so completely encrypted.

Partly. But it was more about how the US is currently on the brink of another civil war, so Ubi felt like that might not be great for sales in the US.

Ubisoft is a weird beast. They keep putting out the same slop time after time and people keep buying it up. I think Ubi is just really good at production quality and marketing, and this is apparently good enough to garner sales over and over again. It’s like…they have talented devs, but they don’t let them cook. They have a very “top-down” approach to design to encourage consistency in their catalog, but it seems like it’s also what has caused them to stagnate.

On the one hand, I appreciate that they are fighting this fight and trying to put a kibosh on the next gen of gamergaters. On the other hand, I kind of don’t care so long as every game they put out is all flash and no substance.

yeah, sounds like they still have esports plans, they just have a longer timeline in mind for rollout?

No, but they can say that it was all Jim’s fault and then fire Jim.

It’s okay, I understand it came off a little snarky. I have a hard time not adopting the “reddit” tone in my comments. Lol

not at all! it’s an ageless topic. just wild to read an article from almost 10 years ago that feels like it was written yesterday. Esp when Civ 7 is the new hotness, but Civ 6 still has more players.

Zelnick is a private equity bro, so i wouldn’t put too much stock in him having actual, human qualities.

Basically I want Cyberpunk where all the lights and movement actually mean something.

totally valid desire, but I don’t think AI would give you that solution. If you went into a building and it was a weird, hallucinated backroom, would that give you that feeling that you’re looking for? Or would you be left feeling disappointed in a different way?

It’s astounding the way Republicans will ruin literally everything they touch. They can’t even keep a grant program running without turning it into an extortion racket.

when your job is to report on the truth, it’s natural to become pretty woke. you become less susceptible to the bs.

Rentry megathread is my first resource, personally. After that, fmhy, which others have mentioned.

Seems like that is Microsoft’S new strategy, pivot to PC where their storefront is just one of several options for buying games. Their super premium console they are teasing is probably just a Windows computer. Unclear what will happen with older Xbox purchases/if back compatibility will continue to be a concern. Might end up being the sacrificial lamb to our open future.
