I've only seen Machine Games and Id Software use Id Tech, I don't think it's available for other commercial use and licensing, it's only for some Microsoft game studios.
The main problem with game engine is that generally, they are made for one thing only. Sure Id Tech is great, but try to make Elden Ring with it, I'm sure it's going to collapse very fast. RE is having this problem right now. It used to run game perfectly well, like RE 2 Remake or DMC 5, but with Dragon's Dogma 2 and MH Wilds, it's starting to crumble very fast. Even if you could license Id Tech 7, I don't think you could do that much except FPS / TPS linear games.
At this point, just shorten the bullet point list and simply put "Must not be a straight white male", it's faster and doesn't waste everyone's time.
Also yes, everyone needs to be white when you make something about Vikings. If I'm going to see a movie set in Japan, I want to see Japanese people. If you can't stand making a movie with white people, just go shoot your movie with some legends from Africa and leave the Vikings alone.
You mean, the part were jews are eating Christian babies? Or jews trying to infiltrate their enemy's camp and nations? Or jews being responsible for the death of Jesus? Yeah, I'd say that seems historically accurate as well.
theu are just doing more of what they have always done.
Well, for the first time in the serie, they will remove armor locked by gender, so what you said is wrong, it's not "what they have always done", it's going further and further.
At this point, if you keep falling for the slippery slope, no one can help you.
Nintendo is actively trying to kill emulation in any way possible. Nintendo has killed countless fangames. Nintendo tried to get rid of any artists who tried to draw Pokemons. Old games are delisted, then sold back at full price. Pokemon games run at like <10FPS.
Not saying the others are good either, but Nintendo is on a league of its own.
People might say that 23.976 fps is objectively an imperfection, but those that have seen 60 fps film footage knows it utterly destroys that movie magic feel. It turns movies into gaudy soap opera effect garbage even though 60 fps is closer to what our eyes can see.
That's just because people are used to it. I've seen comparison between 24 and 60 FPS movies, and since I don't watch many movies at all, and play games at 144+FPS, I always prefer the 60FPS movie version. To me that feels way more natural.
Furthermore, frames in movies generally have tons of motion blur, it's easily to see if you pause it and look at it frame by frame, none of them are very clean, since they are purposefully built for movements. If your 60FPS version isn't building with the same intent, then yes, the feel is going to be very different.
Also our eyes see constant motions. There's no FPS for the brain. A game running at 144Hz for instance will always look smoother than its 60Hz counter-part.
You're right, but it's still the same principle. Only the implementation can be patented, not the actual concept in itself. Which, given how different the 2 games are, is statistically impossible that they have the exact same code and implementation.
I would take the ratings systems away entirely and just do it with comments
How is that any different? Isn't what a player review already is, apart from the additional thumb up / thumb down? How will it fix what you're complaining about?
how many copies sold.
Unfortunately, I don't think Valve is legally allowed to do that. But anyway, again, how would that solve anything you're criticising?
Sees LGBT game controllers of all kind on that reddit page
Wow, even for Reddit that must be some Kotaku-level game journalists woke subreddit.
It's just /r/game
Oh... well, close enough I guess.
We were placed on "Woke Alert" curator lists before release, attracting negative attention.
Why do you want positive attention from the people who you say are bigots / homophobic and such? Shouldn't it be good that your game is being despised by the people you hate so much?
These reviews have dropped our rating from what would have been 96% to 94%
As if those 2% are going to make a difference between business success and bankruptcy. You chose to alienate the majority of people with woke shit, now you're paying the price. Even with 100% positive reviews your game will bomb, because sane people are tired of this. The "Modern Audience", according to Dustborn and Flintlock, is in the few hundred of people at most.
What should Steam be doing about activist reviews?
Pathetic hypocrite. It's fine when they are being the activists and infest all game studio in existence to corrupt them from the inside, but when people boycott them, as usual, they run to "Daddy big company" and "Daddy government" to help them.
It's ironically very racist to say "Asian samurai" to describe Japanese samurai. Is he thinking all asians are the same? Just another case of woke people showing their true color.
But I bet he can't even name 2 games anyway, and certainly not a single real Japanese samurai.
2024 is shaping to be one of the worst year of gaming for me. We have endless woke slops coming out each month, and the few games I was waiting for (EDF 6, Helldivers 2) all had massive terrible business decision which could have been very easily avoided.

Proceed to let nature control population by itself, all you have to do is try to not fuck anyone you put your eyes on
