I can't say for sure I'd have bought it, but I've been wanting an nVidia Shield update or serious competitor for a couple years now.
I wasn't even aware of this project, though, so either they weren't trying to drum up interest, or I've had my head in the sand?
Hoyo has been hurting from these strikes, especially as they only affect some of the studios that they employ for voice acting. I have seen numerous and repeated calls to replace the voice actors because some characters are voiced now and some aren't.
So I'm not surprised that after months and months, they finally decided to just move on with studios that are still taking work.
I absolutely think that it's unethical to use someone's voice work to produce a replacement for them without their consent and appropriate compensation. And from that article, it sounds like Hoyo agrees with me.
Small size means a smaller battery. If they make the phone's processor too powerful, the battery will run out in less than a day, and then everyone will be mad about that. There's also less surface to dissipate heat.
Making things smaller is harder and more expensive, but people who want small phones don't want to pay more than large phones.
I did, at launch. It was somewhat fun, and I didn't regret my purchase. It's pretty much exactly the game you expect, from the ads. That alone makes it noteworthy, IMO. :D
Ahh, financial blackmail. That makes a lot of sense for him.
There are even games that already do this. I still end up second-guessing, but at least "you last saved 8 seconds ago" makes me pretty sure I got it.
Certain attitudes toward certain companies will guarantee upvotes, even if it doesn't accurately reflect the actions the company has just taken. They're just farming upvotes, clicks, ads, etc.
I've yet to find any way to "fix" the situation. People aren't interested in being open-minded. They just want to push some endorphins and move on.
And you can even return it, if it's released and you haven't installed it... Or if it's on Steam, and you played it less than 2 hours.
There really isn't a lot of reason to strenuously avoid pre-ordering if you're pretty sure you'll buy it at release.
And even better, a lot of games have pre-installs that can save you time at release. You could be playing the game instead of being mad that it isn't downloaded yet.
Nice! I paid for early access and thought it had potential. Time to finally see how it turned out!
to break even with what Netflix would cost in that same time frame
Sure, if you only watch Netflix stuff, but not Disney, Hulu, Peacock, Max, etc etc etc.
But also, if you're willing to give up a little content and a some quality, it's cheaper than Netflix. A lot cheaper, if you insist on not having ads in Netflix.
In theory, it's possible for games that don't use encryption. None of which are official Switch games.
There are 2 types of "free". Liberty, and price. "Free as in beer" means they mean the price version of the word. It's a really old saying now.
