why are they like this

PChuds ruin everything

>10 years pass
>still no game
This may be actual fraud with jail time.

>>713698282 (OP)
there's no such game developed for PC. every dev studio needs hardware in mind, and its much easier to reference console hardware than whatever arbitrary cards and cpus are in PCs

>>713698282 (OP)
stake holders? what a masturbatory name.

The problem is, Java can't be ported to consoles. To port to consoles they would have had to remake the game at some point, just like Minecraft with Bedrock Edition, so they decided to do it before release so there wouldn't be two versions of the game. It makes sense, it's just too bad that the decision ended up ruining them.

10 years, nothing, not even a vertical slice demo, alpha, just a video trailer and a couple screenshots

I fucking hate when incompetent people get away with their shit simply because the competition is twice as incompetent

You are an actual fucking retard btw.

It should have been multiplatform from the start if they wanted to compete with Minecraft

>Riot reaches a point where it was becoming a sunk cost, the ROI wouldn't add up
>Riot helped Hypixel Studios shop around for a new owner
>nobody wanted to buy them
damning

while waiting i made a 200 word document detailing everything i was going to do in hytale

Lol imagine buying Hypixel and inheriting that monstrous debt that amazing.

>>713703634
Holy shit lmao
No wonder Tyron ditched them way before

Strung me along for 10 years with nothing to show for it.
I was really looking forward to this and thought they must be getting close.
Well, since nobody is ever going to challenge Minecraft, what are some good mods to "fix" it?

Obligatory Vintage Story shill reply
But you might wanna wait until 2038 for the game to be "finished"

stardew valley releasing on consoles has stripped concerned ape of countless dev hours. he fought with "talented and experienced" console porting devs for so fucking long. maddening shit. should have stayed on PC only and waited until M$ or sony or nintendo offered to do it for him

sevtech ages modpack is pretty good

>>713705751
Based choice. SevTech really gives that sense of progression most packs lack, and the gating through research and tech levels actually makes you feel like you're building toward something instead of just rushing full automation in 2 hours. Only downside is it gets kinda grindy mid-to-late game, but it's still one of the few packs that makes vanilla progression feel meaningful again.

>>713704664
iirc his publisher rewrote the game for him to port it and add multiplayer?

>>713703634
So who actually needs to pay this? They cant just lump the debt across the everyone involved.
I don't understand company debt at all, can't the hypixel people just declare bankruptcy and dissolve the company?
Really all the blame goes to Riot for making a bad investment.

>Java can't be ported to consoles
The whole point of Java is that Java programs are encapsulated within a Java virtual machine, so a computer only needs to run the Java VM and then it can [idealy] run all Java programs.
So Minecraft Java doesn't need to be ported to a console, a console just needs to be able to run Java and then it can run Minecraft.

This is one thing that is really appealing about Java to me, is that it's quicker and cheaper to develop a program that runs on multiple devices

>>713707796
consoles don't support java virtual machine

>>713709286
>consoles don't support java virtual machine
that's a shame

>>713707186
I assume Riot already paid the money and they just have to live with the sunk cost now that Hypixel will never make any money.

>>713698282 (OP)
I remember the SECOND they made the post all those years ago about going under Riot's wing, and the first thing that popped into my head was "yeah this shit is over" but mainly because Riot is owned by Tencent so it was likely the game would be Chi-Juden'd in some way with microtransactions, etc. As it turns out Hypixel incompetent enough to just fuck themselves over..

>>713699138
That's nonsense. A console is a computer like any other.

>>713709841
So this is the good end then. It can live in our minds as some sort of ideal and not be tainted my chink level monetization.
>>713709463
I assume they could try to sue for fraud or something? Not sure where the money/debt would come from/go to.
I doubt they would succeed in suing them, since bad management isn't fraud.

Each different card is not the same as the difference between mobile, Xbox, and PS. The difference in architecture between cards is minor and the bugs that arise usually stem from people using ancient cards, off-brand cards, or just refusing to update their drivers

vintage story is not a fun game

>>713703634
Tyron won.
The fat Swede won.
I hope their server crashes and burn.
I hope these lazy scamming fucks hang themselves.
