I definitely do not think it’s a scam, and it actually looks really good! Eurogamer has a great video on youtube about it, they really liked it! I was actually a bit surprised how positive all the early reception has been so far.

Capitalism only works for society’s benefit when it has substantial and effective competition (which is impossible in nearly all industries when you have state-enforced monopolies via intellectual property laws). The problem is that capitalism’s core goal — the accumulation of capital — is directly at odds with that…
Look, let’s be blunt about things.
It’s the classic Fascist argument - whenever awful people do awful things, it’s secretly not their fault, because somehow they were actually helpless victims who were FORCED to do those awful things by people criticizing them.
But the cost of living was also less back then. Technology should have lessen people’s working hours in general so then we would have created a society where most people have a small businesses and is constantly spending. Capitalism truly shines when the base needs of the citizens are met (housing, and food) to where…
Anyone who thought 2024 was going to be better/less terrible than 2023 were kidding themselves. The layoffs will happen till late 2025 IMO. The correction in tech and gaming will have to happen and the excess pandemic hired staff will be gotten rid off as everyone scales back.
I see the sentiment “we were promised a future where technology allowed us to be free of tedium and grunt work so we could pursue art and culture but what we got was technology making art while we labor in the gutters for ever-decreasing pay”. Hard to argue with.
I blame business major cunts who’ve never had any…
yeah but i mean...any excuse to put stuff up my ass will do!
Yeah. It really helps to ignore games until they’re out or coming out the next day. I see all these people talking about GTAVI already and it’s like why.
it honestly MIGHT be releasing prematurely.
This is the one complaint about this game I don’t understand. Why would you want to fly between planets? There’s nothing there. That is the nature of space, vast stretches of nothing in between rare points of interest.
I was happy enough with Starfield , its hit the interim stage that I’ve done nearly everything I want to , and the tools to allow modders to add big content mods arent released yet, hence I’m taking a break from it .
Bethesda couldn’t write an engaging story if they tried. It’s always an afterthought. They focus on world design first, then write stories around it to explain things.
“Hype” just doesn’t seem worth it to me. Game after game, I see people getting hyped up and then inevitably being disappointed when it doesn’t live up to their wild expectations. I gave up on hype years ago, and I’ve enjoyed my gaming much more since then. Sure, I don’t get excited by gaming anymore, but that seems…
“Why has my Whopper got a turd in it?”
“Jeez, I prefer democracy to a dictatorship and see that repubs are doing everything they can to destroy this country and its institutions, as well as obliterating long-standing norms in pursuit of holding on to power so they can enact their fascist policies. But Biden seems like he’s not pro-choice enough... so I am…
It’s a transaction, bobby. They make games. If we like them, we buy them. That’s it.
I get this sentiment. I’m Palestinian, and I think a lot of people misconstrue my wariness these days of being in a Jewish environment for disdain, hatred or animosity. And that thought keeps me up most nights. The fact of the matter is as a Palestinian, a Jewish person can mean anything. It can mean the people I’ve…
