Great to see!
I tend to just use the betas for a quick smoke test to check my project still builds.
The RCs are generally stable enough to use as a daily driver. And if for some reason its not then now’s the time to find those bugs before the release.
15·8 months agoI believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.
So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

Weird sales pitch. I’m not sure who he is trying to appeal to here?
Do you have a link to the archived screenshot?

Its a strange product, in the US they were ordered not to call them “chips”, and call them “crisps” instead:
The product was originally known as Pringle’s Newfangled Potato Chips, but other snack manufacturers objected, saying Pringles failed to meet the definition of a potato “chip” since they were made from a potato-based dough rather than being sliced from potatoes. The US Food and Drug Administration weighed in on the matter, and in 1975 they ruled Pringles could only use the word “chip” in their product name within the phrase: “potato chips made from dried potatoes”. Faced with such a lengthy and unpalatable appellation, Pringles eventually renamed their product potato “crisps”, instead of chips.
In the UK, they argued they were not “potato crisps” because they though their low potato content would get a lower tax rate.
In July 2008, in the London High Court, P&G lawyers successfully argued that Pringles were not crisps (the term by which potato chips are known in British English), even though labelled “Potato Crisps” on the container, as the potato content was only 42% and their shape, P&G stated, “is not found in nature”. This ruling, against a United Kingdom value added tax (VAT) and Duties Tribunal decision to the contrary, exempted Pringles from the then 17.5% VAT for potato crisps and potato-derived snacks. In May 2009, the Court of Appeal reversed the earlier decision.
If they stole the code that would be copyright infringement.
Wait… How do Trade Secrets work?
I thought that the individuals might be in legal trouble if they violate NDAs or No Compete clauses but that once the “secret” was out it was fair game.
Joystick but no keyboard is going to limit the IF options. That said it might be a great way to play gamebooks.

he expressed dissatisfaction with the Wii port, referring to it as not being ‘original.’
Assuming we aren’t missing some nuisance in the translation I don’t think I agree with this interpretation. The “port” is not the “original”, that’s just a statement of fact. No dissatisfaction is implied.
As for the recommendation to play the port that runs on modern hardware, well yeah most people don’t have the hardware to play the pre-HD versions at their best.
“That being said, I want to call out the way Unity chose to communicate these layoffs. Receiving a 5am email from ‘noreply@unity’ informing me that my role was being ‘eliminated’ and that I’d lose system access by the end of the day felt completely abrupt and impersonal. Unity must do better in how they treat their workers in hard times like this.”
Ouch
Thanks
Availability of Video Games (originally released before 2010) is approximately 13 percent, slightly above pre-World War II audio recordings (10 percent or less) and below the survival rate of American silent films (14 percent).
These are fascinating numbers, do you have a source?
I think you forgot the link text?!

I am aware of classifications and content descriptions. I’m not in US so the ESRB are not directly relevant but my local body does something similar.
I find the actual classifications to be a bit conservative so treat them all as advisory and make my own decisions. For example my son beat these (on easy) at four years old, I don’t think we would have enjoyed them as much if we waited until fifteen:
On the other end of the scale I can use these descriptions to see that while Saints Row (2022) is tamer than GTA5 it is still going to have content thats a bit rough for an eight year old:
Parental controls are another question but I use then for time limits on his tablet and content restrictions on consoles and streaming services.
The way I have parental controls set up he has access to everything M or lower but MA15+ or higher requires a conversation.
They help inform my decisions but at the end of the day we are making our own choices within our household.
