It was also labeled the next day when it was still the previous day in the US, but not in Hong Kong.

Honestly I can't get too worked up. This is how capitalism works. Screw over the people to make more profit for your shareholders. People are just mad because this time they noticed, and they noticed because video games are serious business.

Ah yes, the old 'it's all capitalism's fault' argument. Sorry no. This has nothing to do with capitalism. To the contrary, this is wokeness gone mad, where being woke means 'how dare anyone criticize China!' in exactly the same way as Google and Facebook and other woke Big Tech companies love to kiss China's ass.

Woah, there is so much garbage in that list.

Well, garbage will always be with us.  Found Jumpjet there, ah, I remember spending so much time playing what was, well is, a stupid game - I spend my time blowing up B-52s and then have to battle a bouncing skull of death ?

Wake me up when this discussion goes back into vidgy game news territory and leaves face palm territory :)

Unfortunately, the venn diagram shows a lot of overlap between face palm territory and video game news territory. :shifty:

Players found

Halo 4 artwork originally created by 343 Industries technical art director Kenny Kagnusson. The art features a number of iconic Halo franchise vehicles, including its Scorpion tanks and Warthogs, clearly emblazoned with the UNSC logo — the United Nations Space Command. Stellaris: Galaxy Command appears to overlay a character model over the image of Halo 4’s vehicles, as seen in screenshots posted to Reddit.

This in the broader context of them releasing a mobile game laden with MTX is nothing short of hilarious considering they went out of their way to ridicule shady business practices by corporations in the last major expac for Stellaris.

Anyone who's read their 2018 press release containing the two magic words (investors, mobile) knows what to expect, though. So...

Yeah. Never having used ScummVM, I guess it's much easier to set up than say, VirtualBox.

ScummVM is a piece of cake to use.

Assigning a lot of motivations there. For all we know the artist was on a harsh deadline and a lot of pressure and said **** it, your problem.

Yes and no. You are right that this was not a PDS (the team that designed the megacorp in-jokes) ****-up. This is, however, very much a PDX ****-up. They chose to sub-⁠contract the game to what is likely the cheapest and fastest Chinese alternative "Game Bear Tech" -- who promptly delivered what is, according to accounts from people who have tried the beta, simply a reskin of their own Nova Empire MTX trash heap.

So yeah, even if Martin Anward or Daniel Moregård didn't have any hand in this dumpster fire, the board most definitely did, but somehow expected it to go over well in a typical example of executive disconnect.
