- Comment on Ubisoft launches NFT game with figures costing up to $63K 2 weeks ago:
This is what happens when you try to develop as a triple a studio against trends. By the time your game comes out, you are too late to the grift.
- Comment on So, my weirdo Stanley Parable inspired game finally made it to Most Wishlisted Steam Games. And I'm pretty sure a lot of you are to blame... 1 month ago:
Certainly no underlying political message.
- Comment on There you go little guy 1 month ago:
How is this not “fuck the police” it’s a camera, controlled by the police, to surveil people.
- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 1 month ago:
Totally a bug to show ads, and not an attempt to see what they can get away with and then lie when there is a negative reaction.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 1 month ago:
Absolutely not. When the board is looking into it, it’s because they are not returning shareholder value and they are pissed about it. This will likely end with the C-suite being butchered.
- Comment on Musk’s X blocks links to JD Vance dossier and suspends journalist who posted it 1 month ago:
Free speech absolutist
- Comment on Concord Director Steps Down As Studio Behind Historic PlayStation Flop Waits For Sony's Decision 1 month ago:
You are conflating CEOs with game directors.
- Comment on Do people actually starve themselves to play games like World of Warcraft? 2 months ago:
I feel like this would be better suited for a WoW sub like the greentext sub and not the general gaming sub.
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 2 months ago:
Incels gonna incel
- Comment on "Concord servers are now offline. Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy" 2 months ago:
Honestly. I kinda would have liked to try concord, but I sure as shit wasn’t going to pay to try it.
- Comment on Windows 11 is now the most popular OS for PC gaming 2 months ago:
Staying on 10 until I can’t, then moving to Linux
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
I have some games on GOG. It’s fine.
- Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic” 2 months ago:
I would love to see reasonable competition to steam which would give consumers and developers better options, but Epic ain’t it
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
Capitalism
- Comment on USA | RFK Jr. suspends his independent bid to be president — gives support to Trump 2 months ago:
RFK was always there to steal votes to help trump. The problem is, he was too conservative and was taking votes from trump instead. So, they adjusted course and he is now just a trump surrogate.
- Comment on Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed. 2 months ago:
Agreed. Why would they force you to pay 40 in a genre already overpopulated and most of them are free.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
No thank you.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
Make your platform so bad in the interest of shareholders so no one wants to use your platform anymore. It’s a story as old as capitalism.

What?
- Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire. 2 months ago:
He was to build a bridge to the evangelicals, they were all originally super skeptical of trump and needed pence.
In some circles they were voting for trump, hoping he got impeached so they could have pence.
All of that has shifted and Trump is their second coming, but originally, it was not like this.

Disney has earned everyone going back to piracy

- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
What’s going to stop people from creating a new community and migrating the second reddit pay walls it.
Oh pics is now paywalled, looks like everyone is using pics_free
- Comment on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to last-gen consoles next month 3 months ago:
I heard the PC port was abysmal, so not sure it is even playable on the steam deck, let alone able to be verified.
- Comment on GTA 6 may "disappoint" players hoping for a technological "jump", says former Rockstar North tech director 3 months ago:
So basically it’s GTA5 DLC at a 70 dollar price tag?

Looks really good from the trailer, I wonder if they are using tech from Light No Fire
- Comment on Embracer Group is Killing Your Favorite Video Games 3 months ago:
I do think it’s a reasonable entry point for those who do not understand the labor implications of this. Approaching people with the sentiment that their favorite games are dying makes the segue into how problematic embracer actually is much easier.
We can ultimately be upset about both things, that embracer is killing games while also killing jobs.
