That kind of slavish devotion to the content of the source material regardless of how well it actually works in an adaptation is how you get the 90s Mario movie.

Konami asked Nintendo how they can revive interest in the Bomberman series like how Fire Emblem was revived.

Nintendo told them to just fill it with fictional women and/or girls.

And so we arrived here.

Short explanation:
Greenlight = You pay one-time sign-up fee to be able to publish on Greenlight (I think) -> Your game goes on Greenlight -> People vote on if they're interested -> Enough interest means your game goes up on Steam.
Direct = You pay per-game fee -> Your game goes up on Steam.

Longer explanation:
Greenlight was basically having you pay a sign-up fee to list your game on Greenlight, then people go on Greenlight, look at your game or have it suggested to them by Steam or whatever, then vote on whether they're interested or not. Your game gets lots of positive votes => Your game goes on Steam. There were some problems though, in that games often ended up in some kind of purgatory where they had no idea if they'd go up on Steam or not even if there was a lot of interest, as what was deemed as the right amount of votes was kind of arbitrary. Some games were allowed to skip Greenlight and some weren't, and it was a bit random. There were other issues, like a game getting a bunch of 'Not interested' votes simply because it was being shown to people who would have no interest in the genre, rather than there being anything wrong with the game. On top of all that, there were so many games on there and so much crap that people stopped bothering to look at Greenlight entirely.

Valve's idea is to instead replace it with Steam Direct, where you skip the whole voting system and just pay a fee to have your game put up on the store, with the fee there to help stop joke submissions and such. They mentioned you can get the fee back, but nobody really knows how that'd work. Perhaps they keep the money and give you it back if your game sells over a certain amount, or if your game stays up for a while without being reported as some asset-ripping piece of crap, or if your reviews are mostly positive. They apparently asked a variety of devs what fee they'd recommend and got responses between $100 and $5000, but they haven't settled on anything yet. Certainly seems to get rid of most of the worst parts of Greenlight, but I don't know how I feel about the fee becoming per-game as opposed to on sign-up. It's certainly much less hassle either way, and I guess it largely depends on how the fee is refunded, if it is at all.

All AAA-rated and most AA-rated corporations also exhibit a privilege known as “extraterritoriality”, meaning that any land owned by the corp is sovereign territory only to the corp and immune to any laws of the country within. Corporate territory is not foreign soil but corporate soil, just like its employees are corporate citizens, though dual citizenship in a corporation and a nation is common.

I dunno how interested I am in hearing the Idle Thumbs guys do a podcast entirely on their unrelated tangent topics, the big appeal of that show to me has always been how insightful they are on games as people who have worked in that industry in various forms, where most gaming podcasts/youtube people/etc are entirely from a player perspective.

There was or maybe still is an LP that showed off the crazy amounts of optional NPC dialogue you can find if you return to out-of-way screens that you have no real reason to return to, but it ends up being very charming.

I'm trying to watch Pewdiepie's response video to his racist shennigans or whatever, but the video is loving hard to watch. I've never actually seen any of his videos because whenever I tried I just saw a video game being played with an annoying guy screaming in the corner. But I guess that's what he does? Well, he has like a thousand videos on YouTube so I'm assuming there is more to him than just that, but this response video -- try watching it. It's here...well, I can't seem to actually copy and paste the link, but anyway, it's easy to find. But watch it, and see how every three or so seconds there's a cut. I mean, if he talks for ten seconds, there are at LEAST three cuts there. What the gently caress is going on here? Is it that he can't go more than a few words without stumbling over his words, or did he need to get rid of even more weird poo poo that could get him in trouble? This video has more quick cuts than a Bourne film.
