a section of North Port Road from the game QuestLord 2. Featuring some pickups like twigs & an apple. The road is surrounded by trees.

Original founders of Bossfight Entertainment re-launch studio as Bossfight Developer was shuttered in 2024 by Netflix, which acquired the studio in 2022

the old gang with Scott Winsett are back up to something. They're going to make a PC/Mobile product. Hope they return back to those days at Ensemble when they made good games. Their release parties were a blast!

they need to drop their f2p license churn habits

Federated Group Commercial #2
Federated Group Commercial #2 YouTube video by Lli ylsuo ires

When I was a kid I had to go to Federated to buy a modem. The place was filled with salesmen (college kids home from summer) David Rippy sold me my 1200 baud modem. He was the oldest of the Rippy Bros. They started Ensemble/AoE.

I come from the most ancient of times.๐Ÿ“ผ๐Ÿง™๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

And the more insult to injury is, instead of putting a plan in place where top earners pay their fair share like Apple/Googs... Valve has, Valve has the exact opposite plan. So if you're a big timer like EA, UBI or whatever you can get an undisclosed discounted%!!

biggest indie robbery

Was the standard cut. Now it's the sucker cut. I get 15% cut from GooglePlay. I get 15% from iOS store. If I sell 1 million$ worth, then the next penny I get the 30%. When the year is over that resets. That way smaller devs get a chance.

Steam & PC is absolute trash to dev on.

Couldn't imagine Rippy not setting himself a few with top tier golden parachute options from that Netflix Squid Game deal. And here he is again...

Never played a Fortnite before, so all of this sounds like billionaire people and exploited consumer problems. ๐Ÿคท

Liberate yourselves and stop playing AAA trash.

btw, Android/Apple are 15% despite what Tim Epic wants you to believe. I don't even have anything on PC/Steam and that continued robbery for mega yachts is why.

Imagine your family and friends spending 10$ on your little steam dream game and this fool is there to collect his 3$.

wandering wonder: I still remember when I realized phones would become more powerful than most desktop computers. For most of the world, that is already the case.

Technology Slabs. I'm still most intrigued with my phone & iPad than any coin-operated or console game that I helped create & conceive.
