ironically live service games may be back in style by the time those response games out.

What is hilarious to me is that you just described Marvels Avengers. That game had a fairly robust 3rd person combat system, really good dialogue and scripted scenes, and an enjoyable single-player campaign.
I do love the low commitment aspect. I believe they’ve crafted an experience that will demand pretty much 0 hours of my time. :P
middling at absolute best, insulting is probably more apt. they took Black Flag and just absolutely gutted all the personality and removed ground combat and playable boarding. honestly it’s kind of sad but we’re talking Ubisoft in 2024 folks, nothing to see here.
The embracing of “A.I.” by Big Tech is a very obvious incentive as well.
To be frank, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Microsoft is at an all-time-high in profits. They’ve improved their margins vastly over the last few years. They might be at the verge of overtaking Apple.
Microsoft has laid me off more than once. Have I ever gotten severance?
This sounds even worse when you consider that, for US employees, no state requires severence payment to begin with.
Spencer noted that this was a “painful decision” for Microsoft as a whole, clarifying that the company will “provide our full support to those who are impacted during the transition, including severance benefits informed by local employment laws.”
This whole argument is unhinged. And these articles don't do anything but facilitate it, knowingly.
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!
