Unironically, COD getting delisted would probably get mainstream media coverage and legitimate outrage from people who “don’t play video games” but actually do.

Back in my day it way 8 star systems, up-galactic-hill both ways!

Is that what spaghettification looks like?

Glad to see I’m not alone. I seen the movie when I was about 4 and had nightmares of raptors for two decades.

That might be the best, most relatable thing, I’ve read in ages. When people ask how old my PC is it’s… well… which part?

Sure bud.

Does it matter? No. Is it annoying? Yes.

Yet.

Now make a couple of variations for UK and Australia (probably a shitload of other countries too but that’s a start.)

This is where I’m at too. DICE/EA were absolute muppets with the most recent Battlefield with own-goal after own-goal. Literally trying to make BF into a hero shooter with operatives etc. like, stupid bastards took Battlefield out of Battlefield and wondered why it was received poorly.

That being said, I really hope they’ve learned some lessons and this newest instalment knocks it out of the park. Could absolutely get back into a Battlefield game.

This is what gets me too. CBA has the money, they can employ Australians and pay decent wages! They should be ashamed.

I agree! But, I also think that might be some weirdness with how the system treats lighting on the normal icons compared to ones updated with their new materials in mind.

Almost all of the 3rd party app icons I have are various levels of blurry but the system icons seem fine.

Just to clarify something, because I think the majority of people here only know what iOS 26 looks like from the thumbnail. Below is an actual screenshot of the iOS 26 beta running on my phone.

Just like Android, things are customisable and the icons in the thumbnail are the most egregious version of the new visuals. I find it hard to believe anyone will actually use that styling tbh.

I still hold Call to Power as the best “Civilisation” game. I started playing the actual Civilisation games from Civ3 onwards and was pretty consistently disappointed because most of the ‘new and exciting features’ had already been in CtP and were often DLC in Civ. Kind of wish a modern CtP would get released.

One of the biggest controversies at the start of all of this was Ubisoft pulling The Crew whilst pushing people to buy The Crew 2. Frankly it’s amazing we haven’t seen that more often with the near identical sequels such as the Madden, FIFA, F1 etc games.

No one’s forcing you to buy a remaster… unless they are because they revoke your right to play the original so it’s your only option.

Remasters and remakes will still happen but companies won’t have as much freedom to yoink a purchased product from your pocket years down the track in the name of some profit strategy.

But I want to resell it to the same person for further profit 👉👈🥺 - AAA Game Publishers

Alternatively, when the console control scheme is tight and well made but the PC controls are ASDF + whatever random keys spread at opposite ends of the keyboard.
