My issue with games journalism isn’t even with games journalism. Games just suck now. Specifically the big budget ones that don’t need any more press than they already pay for. There used to be a time when videogames were on track to be the next art form. I’m not saying they can’t be, or even that they aren’t already, it’s just that the artistically barren and often morally bankrupt juggernaut games are sucking up all the funding and the exposure. Games journalism has been reduced to “take a look at this game that isn’t complete trough slop” and the audience of gamers isn’t particularly receptive to that message. I wish there was more room for analysis and/or discussion, but it’s getting less sustainable every day.

I can’t remember the last time there was a well funded and appropriately successful game that had artistic intent any sort of intentionality (before BG3)

Influencers make money from the platform and in most peoples’ capitalism-riddled brain, “the government is ripping up your paycheck” is more alarming than “the government is silencing its people”.

I’m disagreeing. It’s really that simple. $60 million fewer dollars from $1 billion in revenue over 8 years (using your numbers here, please correct me if you think it’ll make your case stronger) is still about $1 billion. Any way you cut it, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s just a few cents

The American “left” is on the far-right of almost every other country in the world. Not right, not even center. You need recalibrating

Okay, but, they’re already selling a product with a BOM of $20 at most for 70-90 monetary units. They can absolutely afford a few cents less of profit

it’s okay to tell billionaires to kill themselves

You can’t bomb a place or rape its people into stability. We have 200 years of hard evidence for that (not that it was needed). Literally any other approach would be beneficial for everyone except the war profiteers

How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this???

The amount of not KDE answers here surprises me. Y’all a bunch of nerds [endearing]

Sure thing! As one of the global targets of the BDS movement, there’s plenty of resources for reading up on their categorically evil activities:

Some places in China are so technologically advanced, that every single thing you do is approved, verified and protected by facial recognition. Carrying a wallet/cash, locking doors, encountering traffic, and even petty crime in general are a thing of the past. In exchange, you’re monitored at all times by multiple cameras everywhere you go

I’d only expect this from China

It is my duty to remind everyone, whenever HP is mentioned, that they create biometric apartheid systems for rogue terrorist states

it’s been the first result for over a decade. If you had searched you would have found

None of that is true. You projected your feelings on a nazi saying a game they haven’t played is shit. You’re going to start thinking some day, hopefully soon
