Censorship happens because a lot of people that actually value free speech, open-mindedness, and diversity do nothing. Keeping people divided benefits the powerful, and the past several years of forcing this division by the powerful is proof of this.

The Muskrat’s Twitter answers to the highest bidder, not integrity. It’s also a good way to avoid appearing like an incompetent CEO and rake in revenue. Similarly to US Congress. Morals and ethics don’t matter to them as long as you pay the “leaders” well.

Which is what worries me. Are they referring to the thoughts of the consumers - or Sony’s shareholders?

Definitely. We’re in a bit of a stagnation era when it comes to games, creatively and in technology. But Big Tech is demanding more of everything at unsustainable levels, leading to burnout for consumers, devs, and even hardware manufacturers.

Yeah I remember hearing those words of wisdom when I asked about the car in Back to the Future. Seeing the Cybertruck is just a blast from the past... a much worse past now.

We just sent more than 50 billion to a genocidal dictator because their country has a lobby in Congress, when all of that could of ended homelessness and even hunger here. As the article states, we just bailed out an apathetic bank industry that will do more to enrich themselves than actually “stabilize the economy”.…

Shall we play “Where’s the lie?”

Whenever a social trend is on the way of becoming mainstream or generally recognized, corporations may feel the pressure and chase the trend for profit potential. LGBTQIA+ representation is on uneven ground because our western culture is rooted in bigotry, not as simple as prejudice and privilege; our culture was set…

I’m not worried. I have a basic grasp of the writing styles and trope preferences of the most influential people behind the Remake project.

If you’re familiar with Nomura and Kitase’s writing(Kingdom Hearts, etc.), they love their nonsensical time-travel/multiverse plots. I’ve learned a long time ago it’s usually a “bottom of the barrel” method substitute to continuing a plot that had already concluded.

A genuine psychopath in that case.

Mind, you have a zionist troll trying to “whataboutism” the narrative. They have prepared for this as well with the amount of “pro-genocide/Israel” bots on social media. How do you tell it’s a zionist? Their utter lack of humanity and empathy.

It’s more complicated than that, there is literally a Israel lobby in the US government. Sink on that for a moment - it’s not tied to parties, and we know both are staunch supporters of the IDF, which they’re taking full advantage of.

A capitalistic era that voids creativity looms so close.

Ah, Subnautica, my first open-world survival experience that my Au-DHD latched onto like a kid playing Minecraft for the first time. I can’t say I’m hyped for the sequel as that slot went to Dragon’s Dogma 2, but I’m still surprised there was a sequel in the works.

Yes, and with corporations, or Big Tech, at least, embracing AI mainly with the intent of an effective means of...not paying working people, there is definitely a power-grab in the works.

That’s right. It’s a trend in many corporations because they know they can get away with it. Whenever a company or corp skirt around the law and/or aren’t effectively held accountable, you start seeing the practice becoming normalized at an accelerated rate.

Eh, not like the tech bros developing these models have any humanity either, so that goes double.

Oh, god, Breath of Fire. ...Yes, I’d want that back.

You and I both. It would be a wonder if the PC version were to release this year, but with Square’s...”habits” with PC ports, that would be an ill omen if anything.
