  • 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.

  • AI has not been invented yet. LLMs are not intelligent.

  • It's post-capitalism. Capitalism was only ever capable of bringing about merit based class mobility and prosperity temporarily before the sociopaths all trickled to the top over the decades and then shut that shit down. Neo-feudalism is the inevitable result, and that will eventually be dismantled by another working class revolution.

    All economies have lifespans.

  • I can't even wrap my head around it, let alone understand why technology with this inherent fallacy built in is being pushed as the pinnacle of all programming, a field who's basis lays in logic.

    Because line must go up no matter what.

  • It is. So many people who work directly for these people have testified that they obsess over their position on the Forbes richest people lists.

    They are mentally ill and have what can only be described as the financial equivalent of body dysmorphia. They are the last people who should be in power right now. They must be removed from their positions by any means necessary if we want our species to survive. Inevitably they will be by necessity; either by us or by a future generation.

  • I go one step further. Ideology is the enemy of progress. It all eventually corrodes and corrupts into anti-humanitarian bullshit, even if a particular ideology starts out good.

  • And from ex-ubisoft devs no less; the undisputed king of mediocrity. It's a testament to how utterly crushing the weight of shareholder influence and middle management bloat is on the people working there. Creativity cannot flourish within a publicly owned company that only seeks profit and nothing more.

  • What's important right now is converting people away from windows. I expect Steam OS 3 to be much more beginner friendly than any other distro. If an average PC gamers first impression of linux is constant troubleshooting, they're not going to try another kernel; they're just going to go back to windows.

    Even if valve stops support later, they will have still introduced many people to linux in a beginner friendly way and wrestled the gaming ecosystem out of microsoft's grip that much more.

  • It's normal for old versions of an OS to stop receiving support after a new version replaces it. That's not unique to steam OS. if I install an old version of bazzite, or any deprecated Linux kernel, modern apps will not necessarily be made backwards compatible with it.

    But steam OS will have more installs than any other Linux variant just because of Valve's brand recognition alone and the FOSS community will target it as their primary platform for software compatibility as a result.

  • I agree but steam OS is going to be a hell of a lot more popular and have more support as a result.

  • borderlands wasn't the first looter shooter. that was hellgate london.
