Another comment explained what it is but to explain where the name comes from, you remember those capsule machines where you had to collect all the toys? Those were called gachapon machines, often shortened to just gacha (i might be slightly wrong on a little bit of the words, but they are the capsule machines)

Yeah we have custard but that’s a completely different thing to ice cream…

Custard goes on cakes

For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out.

A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example.

For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

Shut down is the correct term. A cancelled game is a game that never released. No need to muddy that definition.

AI is here to stay but I can’t wait to see it get past the point where every app has to have their own AI shoehorned in regardless of what the app is. Sick of it.

Is this an American thing?

Yeah it was out for a year or two and went free to play for another before being shut down

Egg in ice cream? What the fuck

Star wars 1313 was THE game I was waiting for. Got very sad when it got cancelled.

Also all is the in-progress and for some completed content that just got shelved for Disney infinity because the new management at Disney forgot why games mattered. (Same time when they absolutely gutted lucasarts). Just for them to start from scratch again a few years later when they realised they still need a videogame presence. Which makes the losses of what could have been hurt more.

That game came out. I still miss it though, but it isn’t a cancelled game.

Still keep going for a private server. That game ruined other mmos for me.

I thought that game came out?

That’s not cancelled, that’s just a game that was taken down.

There’s a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.

I think a lot of it is too get and propogate misinformation because some people won’t hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened

I don’t want to pay now then £200 for a phone and i want a small one.

Dream only of me!

When both sides are dickheads, you go for the one that’s best for you personally which for shopping usually means going for the cheapest depending on your morality stance and how strong it’s compulsion is.
