It's the real world equivalent of giving a theme park the keys to your house so they can check you don't skip the queues but then finding out they've got a giant bin of stuff they've taken from customers homes
This isn't using their kernel access but it is proof that their security practices are woefully ill equipped to be trusted with root access, kernel level anti cheat is a massive security vulnerability, something really bad is going to happen.

I know this is an absolutely honking take but we all have them 🤷
They'd have to release something on ps5 for this to matter 🤣

There's a few times were this weird consensus builds that a refined masterpiece like assassins creed or resident evil 7 were superceded by a bloated sequel and I have a really hard time understanding it except that maybe people are dumb
My Initial RE9 impressions after about 2 hours is that it's gonna be great but probably not as good as Routine 😛
😌 I figured it out, the game needs to restart to disable HDR and my monitor has a fake HDR mode that was turned on by default, that caused the colour calibration screen to be totally broken so the game was set to be insanely bright
Initial impressions of Resident Evil 9 - I was immediately shocked by how ugly it is, this can't be how they intended to introduce their game -
I wish I had room for FFVII, Endless Legends and Dawn of War 2 in there to represent 3 genres that are also important to me.
Complaining about jank is why almost all games made today are in a dead world. Developers bolt everything down, nothing is allowed to move without their say so for fear of being labelled janky.
It's always pissed me off when people talk about a game being janky, what they're seeing is a living world that doesn't operate the way they demand it to, it's not for them, they're not the centre of that particular world and they don't like it.

I finally got time to play routine, I loved it more that I was expecting. Easily in my top 3 games of last year. I can't believe the junk some sites held up last year over this, what a sorry state games criticism is in
I'm just self conscious cause youse are right 😁, I am loving the pod btw, was cackling along to the levels draft, for my money it was a tie between you and Dave for the best picks, I have to give you a bonus point for picking a real bad level in that category though
I guess what I'm saying is I'm definitely not one of those assholes but also why should you let them ruin a great game for you, after all, isn't that letting them win? (no)
I honestly play those games because when I entered the igf a long time ago I didn't feel like I got a fair shake and I'm trying to help surface games that deserve more attention, it really is quite a noble and selfless thing to do
They're definitely right, it is really smug and annoying BUT every year I play 48 of the worst games you could possibly imagine & 2 you've already heard of just for that chance of finding that one game to lord over everyone with, I earned it
Listening to the last backpage podcast games court episode & they talk about how annoying people who talked about titanium court are and I'm feeling incredibly seen. This is a terrible idea but I'm going to try and defend myself!
I've had enough of watching IGN strip mine Eurogamer, I'm unsubscribing
Microsoft's pr working over time to throw Sarah Bond under a bus they already ran over her with about 50 times - www.eurogamer.net/xbox-insider...
Sarah Bond is the most obvious example of a fall guy I've ever seen, she appears out of nowhere with a seemingly redundant job and then took all the blame for everything despite not seeming to have any actual power to make decisions
Honestly quite impressive that Sarah Bond conceived and implemented a strategy entirely on her own at one of the world's biggest tech companies even though everyone apparently hated it
This looks exactly what I hoped it would be, it's sad we won't see this version :( www.rockpapershotgun.com/hardsuits-ca...
The other part of it is they don't want to make games like that any more so they have to sell it as a failure even if they don't believe it to be true.
Avowed being framed as a failure is infuriating. Here's an article where it garnered 6 million players in the first month- screenrant.com/avowed-hits-...
The failure was that microsoft gave it away for free instead of charging for it but the blame is being laid at the developer's feet.
This was the standout from the IGF imo, ALL the judges absolutely loved it, get it played!
The amount of times I've accidentally made code unreachable is 0 but I did use it almost every day for debugging, making it an error is incredibly annoying to protect against a purely hypothetical issue
The thing that bugs me about it is it was just the publicly traded companies divesting, there were still plenty of games coming out at those budget levels and making a tonne of cash
