Thanks but I’m a network engineer, I’m just saying your argument is pointless, the majority of devs support a certain language. How they or you feel about it doesn’t matter one bit.

Irrelevant

It’s Lemmy, the sentence “and why I blame Elon Musk” is basically the unspoken rule of everything.

Now don’t get me wrong, he’s a POS businessman just trying to manipulate the market into a profit for himself, but if there’s no reasonable way to blame him for something and it seems like you’re just going “thanks Obama!” It’s getting old.

I don’t think they fear the two hundred thousand people using fediverse compared to their hundreds of millions to billions of users.

We’re as much competition to them as a food truck is a threat to taco bell.

Damn Lemmy bugs always taking my X’s and replacing them with squares.

Thanks for continuing to be a part of the problem with videogame development and the reason AAA gaming is a disaster 👍

If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.

“If I pay full price for a sub par product now, it feels like a free upgrade when they finally give me what they told me I’d get six months ago!”

Do you also punch yourself in the nutsack because when it feels so good when you stop?

I love how you imply people here don’t enjoy playing videogames, when in reality we do, we just expect a 70 dollar product to fucking work.

What you’re describing is called being a “consumer whore” and is the #1 reason unregulated capitalism will always lead to our demise. Consumers are morons and will willingly pay full price for some broken loot box addled bullshit because they didn’t learn from the last fifteen times they got burned when preordering.

Hell if it’s what they promised and isn’t broken as fuck a couple weeks after launch, I’ll pay full price.

I’m definitely gonna let the beta testers speed run it first so I can find out if they’ve just massively lied to us (only 200 worlds or some shit, space isn’t fully open but just a bunch of pre-chosen “instances” you warp to and can’t leave, etc.) Before I even give it a thought, though.

Day one reviews are worthless too, even the non-corporate shill YouTubers still haven’t really gotten to play enough to be making assessments on day 1 and we all know it. They speed through the tutorial and then declare it a 7/10 cause they have to beat IGN to the front page.

Two weeks, see if it’s worth the price, go from there.

I guess I’m more specifically referring to the modern looter shooter live service bullshit that’s been taking over the industry. Not standard PvP multiplayer. Of course that’s the intended experience there, can’t blame that.

I was watching an escapist video about modern life service games and he said “saying a game is more fun with friends is a virtue of your friends, not the game.”

If a game needs friends to be fun, I think it’s just a garbage game.

How dare they keep the chores out of my fun videogame. Now how am I going to press my dopamine button?!? Huh?!? Think it’s just gonna happen cause I grapple 180 no scoped a guy with a kraber???

I need checklists! Grind! If the game isn’t a part time job I can’t even conceptualize it being fun!

Hopefully that DLC doesn’t come out trash, for sure going to put the nail in the coffin if it does.
