  • As far as I'm concerned blizzard died when they merged with Activision.

  • RIP remedy

  • Xfire was all we ever needed.

  • It's because the only way to become a famous musician anymore is nepotism. You have to be born into a wealthy well connected family so you can get record contracts and actually have the time to hone your craft.

    What you're seeing are industry plants; the hobby of trust fund kids.

  • How is everyone involved at every step of this so utterly mentally impaired

    Most of the shareholder oligarchs who own our economy are lead poisoned boomers and this is all just their way of competing with each other for the top spots on the forbes richest people list.

  • oof

  • It amazes me that anyone played any far cry or assassins creed game in the last 10 years and went "yes this is a good game". All they make is bare minimum surface level crap and it's been that way for a loooooong time.

    For Honor was their last good game.

  • OP, what is an example of an excellent game in your eyes?

  • me too Mario, me too

  • Arc Raiders launched as a feature complete game, mostly bug free, well optimized, with a sufficient amount of functioning servers, and with genuinely innovative game design.

    It sold incredibly well at 40 dollars. I've bought it 4 times myself.

    Expecting every game to meet those criteria is not "absurd". It used to be par for the industry and it still should be.

    AAA games from publicly traded corporations are just absurdly underwhelming. They want us to think these standards are absurd so they can keep their minimal effort bullshit gravy train running. It's not going to work anymore. That's the free market. Adapt or die.

  • Aka the market has rejected your overpriced bullshit. Adapt or die. Welcome to the free market.

    It doesn't matter if you're a mega corporation and previously had the winning formula. You adapt to meet evolving market demand or you die.

    These c suites got too comfy doing everything to only please their shareholders. They forgot that pleasing their consumers wasn't optional. We are your money supply. If you lose us, it all comes crashing down.

  • Not only that but E33 showed people what ex-ubisoft devs could do when you actually let them be creative.

  • Let's give Ubisoft to North Korea then

  • Allowing the working class to never have any kind of power is the highest priority of the ultra wealthy. That's the only real threat to their own position and gravy train.

  • that was the case long before social media showed up. those people were always going to end up superficial and thus incompatible with you even if social media didn't exist. consumerism is what caused the obsession with ego and image. social media is just another stage of consumerism.

  • The conservatives and white supremacists on sites like funnyjunk are always complaining about how hard it is to date because women don't like the MAGA shit and the lack of equality they support.

    Extremist ideologues are insufferable in general and nobody wants to be with them. From maga weirdos to misandrist radical feminists. Ideology is poisonous to peacefulness, good faith behavior, and rationality.

  • Imagine if this was all proprietary and these conflicts were resolved with costly legal battles or the abandonment of entire projects and IP.

    oh right that's exactly what happens with corporate software every day.

  • No. We all poor now.

  • That's essentially what I'm saying. It will always end up this way. Whether we call it late stage or post capitalism or just capitalism is irrelevant. It's a system that empowers sociopathy and sociopaths will always choose to enrich themselves at the expense of the country and it's citizens.
