  +1 to this, I feel like having a ton of money is what corrupts leadership, not necessarily their technical background.

  Maybe Spez and Zuck haven’t changed much, but I feel like some others started out as relatively reasonable people who were also technically brilliant, but eventually their companies started doing shitty things and they are both aware and apparently unwilling to stop it.

  Perhaps corruption in the Soviet Union is a good example of how even people from normal hard working backgrounds (i.e. not billionaires who have never worked a day in their life) can still be corrupted by power and a lack of accountability.

  Which one are you referring to:

  • Synthetik: Area (free to play): store.steampowered.com/app/…/SYNTHETIK_Arena/
  • Synthetik: Legion Rising: …steampowered.com/…/SYNTHETIK_Legion_Rising/
  • Synthetik 2: store.steampowered.com/app/1471410/SYNTHETIK_2/

  I’m interested in the top down kind of style, I was expecting an FPS but this could be fun.

  I also liked Doom 2016 and it worked well on Linux. I’m sad to hear that the later ones weren’t as good.

  Do you know of any games similar to Doom 2016 that you’d recommend? I liked how it didn’t waste time trying to tell a story, usually I’d watch a movie or read a book if I want a good story. Doom had enjoyable steady action and I felt like I could enjoy it for half an hour at a time without needing much time to get into it.
