Star Citizen says hello

They push microtranzactions

The Portal 3 gameplay mechanic they copyrighted was pretty interesting, did the guys who got it back ever make a full game out of it?

Because they’re known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

I could write a long answer to this or I could just say: money
actually here's another hint: risk

>game beta cancelled
>complain about not being able to invite friends to a product that would be cancelled anyway
The logic of artifact user is beyond human comprehension

because why the fuck would they?

what kind of mechanic was it?
A while ago a standalone mod with a third portal came out, don't know if it has anything to do with what you mentioned

Because people consume product and get excited for next product by default now.

The game was amazing, if people could invite their friends more people would have realized how good it was and kept playing it

And then you AND your friends would be furious instead of just you

Portal didn't push anything the tech it used was already utilized in a different titles. All it did was repackage the idea and tech into a soulless apple aesthetic.

they're too busy pushing niggers, angry women and trannies into everything

>soulless apple aesthetic
shit taste

Why bother for originality when you can just steal shit from other games and make millions?

Like Portal?

There's a difference between stealing from and hiring the people that made the original.

it doesn't make money
any question you have in life you can pretty much just follow the $ long enough and you'll get your answer

except it's not theft, it's called "industry standard"
why innovate when there's a new generation to buy the same slew of games every few years

there you go americans, here's your altar of infinite economic growth get to worshippin'

the thing with the camera? yeah there's a guy making a game with it. There's also a little of it in Superliminal

Echoes of the Eye came out less than a year ago and did.
