The correct answer is because game developers are, as a rule, not unionised. No one is pushing developers or publishers to properly credit their staff, so a lot of them simply don’t.

I’ve played Risk of Rain 2 on and off for years and I’m not bored of it yet

Not surprising. He was sadly too divisive to be a widely-popular Labour leader, but afaik he’s well-liked by his actual constituents, and this backs that up.

Okay, I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head, but this can’t be true, can it?!

Surely Nintendo have made at least one game with some kind of procedural content??

I don’t know why, but I freaking love simple/arcade golf games. Surprised Golf wasn’t available already, but I’ll definitely be playing!

Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.

Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.

It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.

Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?

what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did

That's just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing 'new' products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.

Or, to use your example, everything I can find says MacOS added Bluetooth support in 2004, while Windows XP was patched to support Bluetooth in 2002.

MacOS is good software, but let's not pretend Apple hasn't built their entire empire based on pinching other people's ideas and marketing them better.

Nothing lower than a C-?

Hopefully it'll be an improvement on Force Commander
