Luke’s review of 2K22 is just going to be him screaming at this point.

I mean, a major game created by majority-white developers making the enemy brown-people-in-politically-charged-setting is making it more than that. That’s the whole point, the one many oblivious gamers and developers keep missing.

Maybe they could implement a system were a dev can flag their game as short so if a player were to 100% a game it would no longer be available for refund.

Yeach for it to be a review they would need to critique things. Like say the story, the game mechanics, the music, etc. This article does none of that so therefore it isn’t a review.

TBH the loosening of restrictions is kind of a bummer. One of the things that keeps me out of the steam marketplace is the herculean effort of sifting through the piles of crap to find a good game.

As someone who knows nothing about Tumblr, and very little about Boyfriend Dungeon, I find a lot of the (well-put!) discussion in this piece pretty broadly applicable across social media as a whole, whether that’s ‘social media lets people build communities’ or ‘social media acts as an echo chamber’ or ‘social media…

That is a proper epitaph for the human race, I expect.

This is where Nintendo is smarter than any western business. Not just in gaming, but retail and beyond.

When I lived in a town of 60,000 people I was working at Target. They expected constant permanent growth not only of sales, but of membership sign ups too. Except, this ignored the basic truth that a town that size…

Ah yes. The classic Cascading Failure. A thing that goes catastrophically wrong, causally linked to an endless chain of other Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong that all set off Even More Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong. Like a circular row of dominos, except each domino is an open oil drum filled with…

Because investors fear change and love stability. As long as Kotick isn’t personally implicated and continues to say the right-ish things publicly, investors will prefer to stay with the known quantity over someone new.

I mean, it’s not like Disney reopened a crowded theme park in the midst of the pandemic. That would be ridiculous!
