It was already clickable for me on the web UI, but apparently the correct formatting depends on the client as it doesn’t work in voyager.

No not really, games like the mainline Zelda and Mario titles have really long development cycles.

Technically correct, but what they call a “free trial” is effectively a sizable free tier of the game. The entire base game as well as the first two expansion can be played for free with no time restrictions.

I don’t recommend it, even for free. Lots of grinding with heavy P2W elements. There are much better options for free MMOs, like Guild Wars 2 or Final Fantasy XIV.

Metroid seems like a prime holiday release.

Maybe Hyrule Warriors in september and Air Riders in november. But we’ve seen so little of Air Riders that I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets delayed.

I could see the argument for large file sizes, but tiny games like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 also get released as key cards. I could see the argument for key cards being an improved replacement for “download code in a box” releases, but those are still a thing on Switch 2 regardless.

To be more clear, PirateSoftware thinks the status quo of only owning a license for a game, which can be revoked at any time, is a good thing that should be kept.

Stop Killing Games would give consumers more rights, which would bring the purchase of a digital game license closer to actual ownership.

The latest pile-on against him is due to him having some reservations about the wording and intent of the petition/movement and, because we’re currently in a era where False Dichotomy is king: anything other than 100% unquestioning support is treated as 100% unequivocal opposition, and vice versa. 😒

His video’s thumbnail is literally him throwing the petition into a dumpster. If we were not meant to see him as 100% in opposition, that’s kind of on him TBH. He certainly communicates that way.

Of you’re going to legislate immortality on games, then you’re going to need to make your argument for it clear and robust, who has responsibility for what, how deprecating technology is handled, and so on.

Missing the point, as it’s not a piece of legislation, it’s a petition. Nobody expects it to be turned directly into law, but for the successful petition to start a process between various interest groups ultimately resulting in a law that’s a compromise. Of course, if you tell people not to sign the petition, that process will never start in the first place.

Especially if you live in Malta or Cyprus.

That doesn’t matter at this point. The country threshold has been reached. Now it “only” needs to reach 1 million total signatures before the end of july, currently sitting at around 600k.

The Stop Killing games campaign is an EU petition to prevent game developers from making games that people bought unplayable, for example by turning off the servers of always-online games.

Pirate Software is a youtuber and game developer who made several videos criticizing the campaign. He thinks it’s unreasonable to expect game developers to do this and also asserts that people who purchase games don’t own them. His videos supposedly had a measurable negative impact on the petition, which at this point looks like it might fail. Combined with the fact that he often acted quite rude and arrogant towards supporters of the campaign, he is now quite unpopular among them.

Yeah, could be that or the testing methods of either site might have been flawed. In any case the difference shouldn’t just be brushed aside like it was in the article.

Japan’s Chimolog is our second source. Its tests showed the Switch 2’s display to be slightly quicker, averaging 17 ms at 60 Hz.

That’s quite a huge difference though, about half that of Monitors Unboxed. Would definitely be worth finding out why the results are so different.

Yeah, especially since replacing the mainboard is not trivial work at all. I assume it’s probably more expensive outside Japan though, with the weak yen etc.

The beating around the bush about who it was actually sold to certainly doesn’t bode well.

Correct. With the Switch 2 in stand-by in its dock and the joycons detached, I press the home button on the right joycon and the Switch wakes up with a little jingle as well as the light on the dock turning on.

It works perfectly for me using the joycons (just tested it again to be sure). Haven’t had a disconnect so far either. Have you already updated the controller firmware in the settings menu? Otherwise, unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with your hardware.

I’ve also enjoyed working with it. Switching to React Native for a different project later felt like a huge step back.

I guess it probably says something about my own age that I don’t consider the Steam Deck to be anywhere near an old system.

I don’t think it’s possible to test this at the moment as there’s no actual game out right now that uses both HDR and 120Hz at the same time.
