I cant help but feel this is some sort of password reset question farming…
Anyway,

Is it though?
Me. I work in video games, and I have kids.
As a game studio - a developer rather than a publisher - it’s very much hand to mouth. You are paid by the publishers on delivery of milestones. Milestone reviews can sometimes be subjective. You’re basically the lowest link in the food chain and can be subject to a publisher’s whim, which can often be a bit random depending on your external producer. Keeping such a studio open in the long term is about chasing new contacts, and any gaps between contacts is expensive because you aren’t generating any income, but are having to pay wages. One or two project cancellations can easily shutter an independent developer.
In some cases studio owners may simply want out, or they might legitimately see a sale as bringing stability to the studio… Or it might just be greed. But I think it’s hard to say whether a studio would have a safer long term future being independent or being sold.
Reddit is Fun is not Reddit.
Most games, especially so called Triple A games, have too much text and NPC dialog. The last thing we need is more of this crap that the developers don’t even care about enough to write. How about we focus on making the gameplay good and not how we can fire more developers?
The whole Internet?
Duck Game has been reversed engineered, decompiled and uploaded to GitHub with improvements and bug fixes. So anyone can download this and build it. It’s all the other Adult Swim / WB games that are more of a worry.
Needs more arrows
Wait, this Sony?

Personally I wish they just made a bunch more Steamworld Digs. They could keep churning those out and I would lap them up.
I dunno. I feel like expensive boots have turned to crap over the last few years.
The PS2 controller isn’t wireless/Bluetooth, it’s got a big old PS1/PS2 wired connector. You should be able to pair a PS4 controller with an Android device and it has (more or less) the same layout.
Aldi UK beans aren’t as good as they used to be. I think they changed about 6 months ago. That said, they are still decent and my beans of choice.
And with worse safety, it would appear.
I’ve recently banned my kid from playing it too. I had only just unlocked it for the first time. I had previously blocked it because it was, IMHO, terrible. As a professional gamedev I find it offensively bad. But I relented, because lots of his friends were playing it. However, and this may be the experiences he was playing, it seems to be almost exclusively training kids up for gambling. Pretty much everything is dopamine based rewards. It’s like a casino. It’s worst than I ever imagined. I’m this close to banning online play in Minecraft because he is similarly gravitating to the same sort of experiences. In our case it’s not about money, he hasn’t spent a cent on these things. But the content is very problematic, I have concerns that it is encouraging developing minds that gambling is the norm.
Bad bot. You’ve removed most of the meat of the article. TL:DR - Oversized components and cheap solder cause weak connections and make the drives prone to breaking. It also impacts 2GB and 3GB drives.
As a parent myself now, I completely understand this behavior.
