the absolute state of parentingEpic's decision to enable real-time voice and text chat communications by default for children and teens also allegedly put them at risk of bullying, harassment, and other forms of harm.
Besides the $275 million record civil penalty imposed through a proposed federal court order, Epic will also be required to make text and voice communications in Fortnite an opt-in feature for children and teens that can only be enabled with the parents' affirmative consent through a privacy setting.

"that's not remotely legal, letting people talk to each other"
Re: It's Video Game News
a lot of that definitely felt like "everyone does it, but we can get a lot of money from this if we target the most popular game" but I do remember the auto-buy/refund stuff and EVERYONE internally said that was terrible, I don't know why we did it that way
Re: It's Video Game News
what is auto-buy?

Re: It's Video Game News
when you're viewing a store item, if you press a button it buys it immediately with no warning. I think it was like that for a month or so, then they kept it the same but added the ability to refund accidental purchases, and then eventually they changed it to hold to buy. although iirc Korea or something had a way to "undo" an accidental purchase for about 30 seconds, but it was because of a law thereKhaos wrote:what is auto-buy?
Re: It's Video Game News
there was also a bug where if you held the button down too long on the store page to view an item, it would still consider as pressed when the item page opened and would auto-buy it. that was fun

Re: It's Video Game News
i want people to be able to buy any item they want in 3 clicks. 1 to buy it accidentally, a 2nd to refund it, and a 3rd to buy it on purpose
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

Re: It's Video Game News
got my friend to play outer wilds and he beat it
it's video game newsI really liked the game. Incredible intention to detail in world building. Beautiful music. Intriguing mystery.
What I didn't like was how complicated it could be to solve puzzles. But any time I got frustrated, I just looked up how to do something.
Like I'd get all the clues, but piecing it all together was too much for me sometimes.
For exampleSpoiler!. I had the clues, but that solution is ultra convoluted and easy to mess up, and if you mess it up once without looking it up, then you probably move on thinking the correct solution is incorrect.
Game definitely left an impression on me. It's got a lot of heart and there's something tragically beautiful about it.

lol, mad respect for them going full throttle with the unsettling/erotic S&M vibe. I like it when designers have a vision and pursue it without shame or restraint. I have no idea if this game is any good, but it does have the stones!

I did end up getting no man's sky while it was on sale and the ship controls are such utter dogshit compared to outer wilds that it kind of soured me on the whole thing.Crunchums wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:54 pm got my friend to play outer wilds and he beat itit's video game newsI really liked the game.

Re: It's Video Game News
Also wtf how do you mess that part up, it's not tricky at all.
Re: It's Video Game News
that was literally the only part of the game that i got stuck on
i don't think it's ultra convoluted, but i tried the correct idea once and somehow it didn't work

and then it's like well guess that's not the right ideau gotta skate
Re: It's Video Game News
I heard they made multiple patches to try and explain/hint that part more clearly. It was hard when I played it on the original release.
Re: It's Video Game News
I guess I stand corrected then
Re: It's Video Game News
Outer Wilds is wonderful
Did you have to use a controller? So many PC players say they can't play Outer Wilds with a keyboard. I played it on console, so I wouldn't know

Re: It's Video Game News
i played with a keyboard and the controls for moving around felt very difficult
also there's one part where the fact that your thrust is on/off as opposed to a spectrum sucks

Re: It's Video Game News
my first impression was that a controller for the flying seemed way better, so I thought I was going to be swapping between keyboard and controller, since no way am I going to do the walking around fps sections with a controller.
but then I quickly realized that keyboard for the flying actually felt fine so I just used kb+m the whole time
