More garbage linkspam. Time to block this spammer.

Can we please not turn this group into ads/sponsorship/shitposts?

It would be nice if there was some editorial restraint, rather rhan mindlessly posting every single article from eveey single gaming site.

Same as I’ve been saying for 25 years:

Fuck Sony, and fuck their anti-consumer practices.

Think about it: even if you can get a psn account and play without a problem, this is being done to exploit and commoditize you.

Fuck Sony.

Microsoft needs this.

The OS is no longer your property.

Microsoft is not in the business of providing what users want from their computer.

More likely autotranslated.

It wasnwritten in a different language, then machine-translated.

I thought the same, and made a similar comment. alessandro replied veey shortly, proving (beyond a reasonable doubt) that he was a human.

However, he posts gaming stories incessantly, and without regard to whether they’re worth posting; nor does he bother reading what he posts. So while not a bot, I’m filing him under ‘karma whore.’

Again?

This is the definition of late-stage capitalism.

Capitalism could be loosely defined as:

• Take something
• Add value
• Sell at a sustainable profit

Late-stage Capitalism replaces the last two stages with:

• Sell at a maximized profit
• Scour the sales path for any remaining money
• Grab it all
• Take back the thing you initially sold

Myst was the most beautiful shitty adventure game ever. Riven was more Myst.

Imma give this one a pass.

My first real MMORPG was Dark Age of Camelot, and it was fantastic until they decided to protect cheaters who paid. After that was Guild Wars, which was almost as great. I bounced around between a handful of smaller ones until I came across RIFT, and instantly loved it. So much borrowed from the previous games, but the idea of rifts was really damned cool.

About once a year I log in, and realize that it’s turned into an unplayable disaster. Then I log out, feeling sad.

We need to stop promoting this bullshit.

You really don’t need a full article to say ‘late-stage capitalism.’

There’s nothing behind this but corrupt behaviour and greed.

There’s a lot of siloed misinformation here.

• it’s not because of a slowdown in the industry
• It’s not because of poor game releases/sales.
• It’s not because companies grew too much/quickly.

FURTHERMORE…

• It’s not just gaming.
• It’s not just IT as a whole.
• It’s everywhere.

This has nothing to do with performance or the economy, and everything to do with late stage capitalism. Companies have a round of layoffs just to bump up their year end statements. Worse yet, they then proceed to hire people back for less money.

It’s money-grubbing evil, no more and no less.

I didn’t know much about Unity when the mess started last fall. I did, however, recognize the Unity ad platform on mobile games. They are distinct in that they are willing to advertise absolutely anything for anybody - including phishing apps apparently published by organized crime syndicates.

So for ALL of their behaviour, both ad and engine related, I say Fuck Unity.

The entire article sounds like it was AI generated. “Faced with this, Capcom was not indifferent.”

You know it’s goung to be a shite article, but you read anyway because…well just because.

There’s one (and ONLY) Ren’py porn game on there which means that porn games are fsir game for best sex; but only one porn game made the list, so Baldur’s Gate sex is better?

Or maybe they said “let’s stir some shit up for cIicks.”

This “Day After”?

(Seriously, I remember watching that movie along with everyone else I knew, back in '83. Scariest, haunting thing I’d ever seen.)

And a day later, the developer has shut down.
