I mean.... Not really? Labour added value is totally a thing. Being able to buy a single console from a retail store near you and either walk away with it or have it shipped to your home in a few days instead of having to buy 100 and wait 6 months for them to arrive from China is the value added by retailers and the…

Wow this is.... Irrelevant. Pure Linux and mac gamers are the four leaf clovers of the gaming community

I dont see an issue with this. They gotta stay in buisiness somehow. And they still allow you to give most of the money to charity so it’s not like that’s changed. They just don’t allow you to give ALL of the money to charity. Just MOST and keep some for development and operational costs 

OK? Even if what you say accurately reflects the situation where you live, what the fuck does it have to do with anything discussed here? 

Oh hey you left a lengthy comment under criticism of a game you like

Ofc they do. The kind of rules that allow em to bust into the wrong house without warning and shoot you when you try to defend yourself from the strange men invading your house

Answering your comments is engaging with someone. And here, I will engage with you some more

I mean the authors ultra right wing nationalistic views and denial of Japanese didn't help i would assume 

On the other hand I assume the writers ultra right wing nationalistic views would be right at home in most games

But what’s there to stop all the people who’ve been historically shit on to leave now that this program exists and even worse reactionaries to join?

Personally, when they start actually phasing out super sexist designs that make me uncomfortable to look at

I mean people who will blindly defend anything in this ball park notwithstanding, the developers of this game genuinely seem like they are surprised any of their content has generated discussion at all. It really doesn’t feel like they are doing this on purpose, just that their this far up their own ass and out of…

What? What the hell are you talking about? You do realise that what you say here directly contradicts what you said before about this being just a fun piece of entertainment?

To be fair I remember the prepped libertarian AMURICA FUCK YEA faction that blasts the constitutioni24/7 in the radio is pretty openly mocked in game 

Games aren’t subjective, there’s as much objective criticism as any other media, perhaps more.

Yea but thats you enjoying mediocre game, doesn’t make the game not mediocre

I played this game. I liked it. It has absolutely no staying power whatsoever. As an ip, it has nothing going for it. nothing. Its as big stabdard as it gets. Nothing wrong with that. But why would you pick a game like that for a sequel or to make a big deal of in or??? 

It felt like a disappointment because it left no impact in the gaming landscape. Nobody talks about it, no one has it in their top 10 lists, everyone remembers it as “that one zombie game ps5 had close to launch”

Blockchain has been used in a lot of areas, like banking, with quite good results. The fact crypto bros dominate the discussion instead of actually interesting and useful applications is one more sin they commit every day 

Are pieces of entertainment excempt of all criticism in your mind? Nobody said it wasnt entraining either. The article straight up says its quite good pure gameplay wise in places.
