I think their point is that if the people making the games were given fair compensation that they would be more willing to sacrifice IP rights.
I don’t see what makes them think that other than their own personal feelings on the matter, but I think that’s the message.
Listen, cut him some slack - it’s really hard to keep your hands dry when you’re writing inside of a bubble. They’re very soapy, and you can’t move too much or they’ll pop.
I’m a citizen of the United States.
I give you the pass.
Edit: in fact, talk more - specifically to other U.S. citizens about it. Exposure to other countries ways of doing things can only be a good thing, and if they tell you to fuck off - whatever, that’s their right.
People don’t like the things they believe to be challenged, and many people fail to recognize what is a belief and what is a fact.
It’s the problem with knowing enough to not know how little you actually do (know).
Disastrous, even
It’s a circle jerk, don’t get fooled into thinking this is some new version of trickle down economics
Just beat the game.
God damn it’s good. The only way I knew about it was because I was checking Steam new releases. Please god understand that this would have sold with better advertising.
You can certainly make an argument for young kids, i.e. teaching fractions and literally how to count (counting seconds).
Teenagers? No, not really. They’ll all have phones or something to tell the time by a certain age and hopefully they know their fractions / how to count. It might as well just be digital at that point.
A strawman that may actually be true, given how much poison the rich have dumped into our environment.
No I just don’t read what you’re saying, mainly because I’ve got better things to do with my time than to read a nobody bloviate about something they don’t understand. Your experience doesn’t matter, do you know why?
I’ve refuted your claim that it’s somehow all the publishers fault. You, for some reason, think that Bungie releasing a terrible expansion the first time they’re free from a publisher somehow doesn’t obliterate your argument.
You’re absolutely sealioning btw, you can keep the corpo speak to yourself. I’m not reading it, because it’s just a waste of my time. There are plenty of devs to defend, Bungie is not one of them.
You… please name the logical fallacy I’ve employed.
I’ll wait.
Invasions aren’t toxic. You’re brute forcing a game balanced around solo play by abusing action economy and boss aggro. You can, at any time, start a boss and boot someone. Not to mention the overwhelming advantage you have over the invader should you choose to fight them.
It could, literally, not be more in your control.
you’re obviously someone who is completely and willfully ignorant to what goes into game development
Icing on the cake? Shadowkeep is the first expansion dropped by Bungie for d2 without Activision. It is also widely acknowledged as the worst expansion. Congratulations, you’ve written an essay and proven you just shouldn’t be weighing in on this. At all.
The more words you use in your next essay won’t help, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s almost like you got an AI to spit this out with how much cherrypicking you do. What’s the term for a sealion that weighs in on something they know nothing about?
Good, fuck Bungie
Bungie shits in your mouth, consistently, over the course of D1’s life cycle.
“No it’s not Bungie, it’s Activision!”
Bungie splits from Activision in D2
Proceeds to release Shadowkeep
“Crickets”
Fast forward to Lightfall.
“Noooo, it’s Sony! Sony is at fault!”
God damn, the excuses Destiny players make for what is a shit company will never cease to amuse me. Idk what Bungie’s collective cum tastes like but it must be fucking ambrosia considering the lengths the community goes to defend them. That corpo-speak in the TWABs is puttin’ in work!
Testing? You expect this person to consider testing?
That’s an extra step that will realistically lead to more work! That’s outrageous, can’t have that. Just won’t do.
Released in January 2024, has had 16 Steam version patches and 18 Xbox version patches.
What, exactly, is your problem?
Before they started realizing they need to pay attention
Then why is this hard to understand?
Well, it’s stated at the end of the paragraph that the about me was written by ChatGPT.
