I think because (health aside), it projects huge IDGAF energy… which goes well with the stories.
Maybe these corporate parasites that ruin the industry could learn the lesson that it is a lot more profitable to not be a piece of shit. And treat people with respect.
You should read about unions and how they work.
Honestly how most people should act. Who give two piles of shit what some CEO type thinks or wants. They’re not the talent. They’re certainly not of value.
Employees to CEO: Do this for us.
CEO: I don’t wanna.
Employees: get fucked pal.
Great ideas, poor execution
Barely a framework for selling DLC, one would imagine
I gotta say. Props to Lemmy users here. This thread is just post after post of generally reasonable take on how enjoyment and entertainment work in reality.
And really just a perfect argument for why infinite growth live service games are a fucking cancer dreamed up by humans who are fucking parasites.

Nearly all social animals would be punished in some way for hoarding resources from the group. Between loss of social status all the way to being killed. Our closest relatives like apes straight up murder individuals that do this.
It’s a mental illness. We’ll probably find out it was caused by lead or micro plastics if our species survives this time.
For now. I believe the correct call to action involves guillotines. We can dial it back if things get better.
Fuck Spez… amirite ? Guys?
TBF Zoom was nothing special then
