    GOG Preservation Program announced to ensure classic games compatibility with modern systems

    I don't think pirates particularly care about how other people perceive what they're doing, otherwise they wouldn't continue to do it.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree has leaked online a week ahead of its official release

    I don't see why that matters, I never said Nintendo was ever pro-piracy or HAL, etc. I'm saying that I had respect for Nintendo when they utilized blue ocean strategies. How particular developers feel about something has no bearing on that.

    Super Mario Party Jamboree has leaked online a week ahead of its official release

    Personally I have about as much sympathy for post-Iwata Nintendo employees as I do current era Microsoft. They should have just taken another job. The clout from working in big name companies is enough for you to work pretty much anywhere else in the industry. Sometimes you just have to accept...

    PlayStation 5 Pro announced, will cost $699 / £699 / €799

    Who is this even for? Does a person who would buy this actually exist?

    Things you recently bought or got

    I returned to the house I grew up in and found my old N64, so I did what any self-respecting rose-tinted adult would do and popped it open to get it all cleaned up for an Everdrive 64 X5 I picked up. Still waiting on some cables for upscaling, but it's been very fun and rewarding to work on the...

    Obsidian's upcoming RPG Avowed has just been delayed to next year

    I'm glad I can always rely on GBATemp comments on unreleased games to be unduly hostile...

    Nintendo is suing the Yuzu emulator team

    Oh I'm well aware, I've long given up on that front. It's just amusing how little tact they have anymore, makes the late 80's look like an era of consumer and developer friendliness for Nintendo.

    Sony lays off around 900 PlayStation employees; and reportedly cancels live-service 'Twisted Metal' game

    Not a big surprise, the whole sector has been cutting all the winter fat.

    Very cool Nintendo, I'm sure this is wonderful PR for your console release just on the horizon.

    'Avowed' gets new gameplay trailer and release window

    I'm sure everyone involved isn't really happy about being bought out either, but it feels pretty unjust considering they've made good games even fairly recently. If they only pump out shit for the next 5 years I'll eat my shorts but it's always been very clear that a lot of the devs at...

    'Avowed' gets new gameplay trailer and release window

    Ah yes, the very troubled history of Obsidian Entertainment with such horrific RPG bombs as "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords" , "Fallout: New Vegas", and "Pillars of Eternity". Oh wait...

    Epic Games lays off around 16% of employees

    I hope everyone who lost their jobs finds a better working environment, I can't imagine a lot of these people had Epic as their first choice... Also I always find it amusing that these types of press releases are never detailed, you'd think if it was just catering staff or something they'd be...

    Nintendo to shut down online play for all 3DS and Wii U games

    Had to happen eventually. I feel very bad for the WiiU as a console, in some ways it showed that Nintendo was learning how to make proper network functionalities for their consoles at long last. It definitely had more soul than the Switch at least. I'm thankful for the fan efforts that will...

    "It makes no sense to have separated bathrooms."

    As someone who is trans (Male to Female), I don't really think having combined bathrooms makes sense, at least ONLY combined bathrooms. Personally, I don't really care about where it is, I just want to be able to use it and leave, even if people decide the right thing is for me is to use the...

    Tactics Ogre: Reborn to launch November 11, according to a new leak

    Because the screenshot is from a PSP game which is a remake of an SNES game... Edit: Oh that is supposed to be a leaked screenshot, jeez this is more of a port than anything else
