Yeah, I don’t think it is, but it’s the end result that concerns me.

The UK is the testing grounds. After they figure it out, they’ll be rolling it out everywhere else.

Uhh the game looks awesome from what the trailer shows. I want to play it, and I’m already hyped for it. The combat also looks better than what it was in Horizon 1.

I honestly don’t care if they just copy games like this. I’m too tired of awesome concepts & IPs being completely misused & wasted by game publishers.

I’m hoping Tencent wins this one, because I wanna play the game. If they do win, I bet “Monster Hunter x Horizon + conventionally attractive characters” would sell like hotcakes.

Pretty sure christians get lots of hate on Reddit too. If you want a christian echo chamber just go to a church, not internet social media.

Edit: to be honest, a lot of us are on the internet just to get away from religious people.

Lack of diversity, imo.

If you’re (edit)NOT(/edit) into Star Trek, Linux, coding, or politics there’s not that much content. Which isn’t gonna attract too many new people, and is probably alienating to many of the new users checking out the fediverse.

I hate the ads & the Reddit app, but Lemmy feels like more of an echo chamber than Reddit does.

Which sucks because I did use to think that “Made in the USA” meant better quality.

That’s true, but we could subsidize the cost of labor too. People make a living wage, but the company pays less than that because government covers the difference.

Maybe the USA should heavily invest in the industry of the USA, just like China does, in order to keep up? No, then USian companies would have oversight & have to meet expectations, and we all know that they wouldn’t want that.

The deregulation & lack of inspections is probably so that the people don’t have as many legitimate reasons to demand higher pay.

If it means developers won’t make “live-service”/trash games anymore, we should hasten the SKG movement.

Harassment sure, but not abuse.

Isn’t there a setting that does this on phones? Wasn’t it the HDR setting?

Thank you for making laugh in the middle of my life loathing rant 😂

I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.

I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.

I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.

Toyota didn’t start out making cars. Does that mean they shouldn’t have started making cars?

Yes, DoorDash got its start delivering food, but that doesn’t mean they are restricted to that permanently.

And yes, I recognize that electronics are expensive, but that’s why I said to press charges on the delivery driver. DoorDash & BestBuy didn’t steal the package, even if they are being lazy about their delivery protocol.

But…

If we have enough evidence of instances where DoorDash drivers steal with impunity… we should be able to start a class action lawsuit against DoorDash since they are basically being negligent.

Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.

If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.

I think it’s a balancing act. We definitely do it to an unhealthy degree currently, but we need to do it to some degree. It would be just as unhealthy for anyone to come into your house at any time because why not?

Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

Some people are gonna be thieves even if you give them that help. Still others will take advantage of you for having the heart to help.
