The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook
  • Im starting to believe the big triple A game industry is starting to collapse, not the gaming industry it self, but the big companies that make generic after generic blockbuster kind of games. They keep getting more and more desperate and predatory in order to appeal to the share holders and maximize profits because their type of games have become so expensive to produce.

    Remember when games didnt have to put the same amount (or even more) of the development cost into marketing? Good games sells themselves, every gamer knows it, but the monkeys with suits who run the companies nowdays cant compute that. Instead they keep coming with more and more shitty ways to steal our money. They will try anything instead of listening to their developers ( who are the actual gamers that know what works and what dosnt).

    And so here we are. Just in this year I have seen a single player game put a mechanic like the NG+ mode only availible for the deluxe edition (yakuza), an extra save game file or fast travels as microtransactions (dragon dogmas 2), extra missions and a 3 days early launch acces for single player game only allowed in the 110$ edition (star wars outlaws), and a company literally changing their former terms and conditions in order to sell a 250$ p2w pack and killing it self and the work of the last 5 years? in less than 24h (tarkov)

  • Helldivers 2’s Politics Appear To Be Flying Over The Heads Of Some
  • "I want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don't.”

    Wellcome to the post-internet era, where u can no longer tell if that obviously idiotic argument was written by a bot, a troll, your average right-winger or a twitter justice warrior.

  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Israel: cannot stand by as Palestinians risk starvation
  • Who would have thought that starvation is where Germany draws the line. I mean, is it really that bad compared to getting bombed, or shooted, or burned alive ,or whatever other hell one can imagine has been going on in Gaza these last months?

    It only took for them +30K of civilians deaths, but hey, better late than never.

  • A Muslim-American woman is murdered on the beach by her boyfriend. /r/MuslimCorner debates whether or not she deserved it.
  • A lot of people still required it for spiritual reasons. Atheism is not for everyone and some still need directions from a superior force in order to put their values/lives in order.

    I'm find that behaviour naive and kind of foolish, but as long as they are respectful with others and don't try to convert everyone else I don't see a problem.

    That's said, Christians are way less indoctrinated and usually are freely to choose, at least in my experience ( western europe ). If that's possible is thanks to the historically separation of church and state, which is something the other 2 big religions dosnt seem to like.

  • Tears Of The Kingdom Was Pirated 1 Million Times, Nintendo Claims In Lawsuit
  • For what i have read, they dont have a case and it should be a guaranteed lost for Nintendo if they try to pursue this to court. That said, they know the legal battle will be long and expensive and are preying on the Yuzo team not having the resources to fight back.

    Is not the first time they are pulling this shit.
