Comment on Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money"

  I feel this is true about much of what you see online currently. Videos that could have been an short how-to, articles that contain mostly AI generated filler. Also, if you want support on that you better join our discord.

  I have genuine gratitude to people who share their in depth knowledge online using old fashion HTML.

      They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.

  As usual the worst part is the title (by design, of course. Gotta farm those clicks).

  “there are too many but keep dreaming if you want big sacks of money” is not the guy’s quote. The frankenquote is ambiguous on purpose, it could sound either like sarcasm or like a semi-cautious encouragement.

  In the article, he sounds way more negative toward live services than that. There’s no “but”, he just says it’s an “illusion” and it “mostly doesn’t happen”.
