Comment on 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

  They didn’t even read the headline.

  The headline clearly says that Hasbro (owners of WotC/D&D) did layoffs, not Larian Studios (creators of Balder’s Gate 3).

    Listen, we all know gamers can’t read. What did you expect? /s

      This but unironically.

    The headline here on lemmy is unreadable gibberish with BG3 in the title. It could as well be

    Layoff 5blagagasjjee Swen shgrwaaahahaaaa Baldurs Gate 3 dacghgfrtf gone. Click here for ads.

    So i get where he’s coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

      I’m kinda with you on that, without knowing that Hasbro doesn’t own Larian this can be misread.

      But I guess that the overly angry tone made people quite upset about your comment

        …and you should read more than the headline, then you’d know that

      …is that an attempt at sarcasm or something?

      ‘There’s almost nobody left’: CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

      Same Lemmy title as the article. You know exactly who’s talking (“CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke”), about whom (“the D&D team he initially worked with”), what happened to them and who is to blame (“due to Hasbro layoffs”).

      As far as titles go, it’s pretty good at telling you exactly what the actual article is about. Sure, you may need basic knowledge about how a licenced product works, and that BG3 is under the D&D licence. It would be rather hard to fit all that in a title.

  I don't even think they read the headline correctly.

  Read? Lemmy is Reddit 2.0. Unfortunately, the majority don’t read articles.

    Yeah I was super refreshed when I moved here but it seems to have just absorbed all the bad habits I hated about reddit.

      Off-topic, but when I mentioned this in a different thread, an actual answer I got is basically the fediverse is really similar to reddit - how can the culture be any different?

      Anyways, if the fediverse starts to become Reddit 2.0 I think it would be high time to go.

        Or maybe people could steer the culture in one way or another by encouraging/discouraging specific behaviour. Nah, sounds like an unrealistic thing

        On a serious note, self-regulation should be simpler in a smaller community, so it might work better here than on Reddit

      It really has. It’s kind of depressing, honestly.

    Yeah… that trait isn’t limited to Reddit users

    If you read the comments, the majority have done so.

    Unfortunately, the exodus brought in more low quality users.
