"I wait until every game I want is at least 80% off on Steam and I refuse to use subscriptions because I support the devs!" types drive me crazy.

As a website where WordPress defaults to UK times, daylight savings weeks where I'm not in sync is a f'ing nightmare. I stop scheduling and only manually publish things.

130% tariffs on China, eh? I can't wait for my $1500 Series X, $1100 Switch 2, and $1800 PS5 Pro in a few months!

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

technically it's one from the employee themselves, just to the public instead of a reporter

Cool cool, more tariffs against China, among other things. Can't wait for my grocery bill to continue towards doubling as every electronic on earth becomes more and more expensive. winning!

Big sites should do actual journalism instead of just regurgitating single-source leaks all the time.

There is no one in gaming that can afford to buy those studios/IP for what Xbox is worth. They are unfathomably large, it's the same as asking Sony for PlayStation, even in parts it's unreasonable.

They have over 20k employees, you really want a majority of them fired?

Steam's community stuff is barely moderated and incredibly toxic

new game + is well handled, I got through it in a few hours each time to see the other endings. That first ending is far and away the 'worst', you lose so much story context without at least watching the others.

Google destroyed it. If you do not report on things in a hyper-specific way you simply cannot make money.

Hah, how come the store listing is all funky!?! When I did the original 300mb stub pre-load a few weeks ago it was able to be installed. People are having a hard time with it now, though.
