Brent's desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don't shake the cables when you sit down or you'll risk crashing the whole website.

This sound like you don't play games very much because that's not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don't think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

The game looks great but I'm worried the enemies might be too spongy. Every fight shown in many gameplay videos is just the player wailing in a big slow enemy for 2-3 minutes until they die.

Ah well it'll be a million years until it gets ported to PC anyways. Still hyped.

It's the Hololens all over again and I legitimate don't understand why the internet is so obsessed with this. If the Meta Quest 2 can't break into the market at $400, this sure as hell won't. Everything they showed of the Apple headset is a gimmick. Watch a blurrier version of your TV on a 2 hour battery! Capture videos by wearing a bulky headset that's not very portable! Use apps that already exist on your phone in a clunkier way!

Am I missing something? It looks like good tech but I agree with OP, there's no market for this.

The original Doom for sure. I don't know if they count as mods since they're technically running on a modified version of the engine, but there is still a massive community making maps, mods, and even new game modes for it. Most recently the "MyHouse.wad" map for it has exploded in popularity. I've had so much fun over the years with doom mods, it's a treasure trove that most people have no idea exists.

There's even entire new games built on Doom. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (stupid name, I know) is a fantastic free open source karting game with a decent community, and it's technically just a doom mod.

If anyone here is going to play a single doom mod to see what's up, I recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered. It's good fun.
