    The Past “We made this game, and if you like it and want to support further development, we have these small DLC bundles, some skins or what not… Nothing fancy, but we wanna work on new maps to keep the game alive. There’s no obligation, the maps will be provided free of charge, we’re just happy the playerbase is so enthused”

    Now “We’ve made a new venue for buying skins, the marketing people call it a game? Look whatever, oh and while some of these skins look unremarkable, remember they’re only available for a limited time and those will cost 30% more than normal, but if you don’t buy it you’ll regret it forever when we take it away, either forever or until the GOTY edition.”

    (Seriously: Ban FOMO)

    Seriously it has gotten to the point where games are so content bare that people are talking about the DLC before the main game’s out.

    Mortal Kombat 1 made that mistake so hard it had to start giving skins away to try to goad me into playing it again. Great story, terrible gameplay… weirdly the opposite of Mortal Kombat 11… (Maybe it’ll help if your big DLC expansion wasn’t 2 characters that are literally just genderflipped recolors… How weird is that Cyrax and Sektor are female now. I mean, normally that’s fine whatever, but in the context that Liu Kang created this universe to be his ideal, did he just have a Rule 63 kink for Cyber Ninjas or something? Or did turning the Transhumanists into Transgenders seem like too hilarious a pun for him?)

    Disgraceful behavior…

    Right my Sims? looks to how horribly her game is glitching up due to owning more expansions than Maxis ever intended for Sims 4 to actually have

    But for real, the idea of an MMO still requiring a monthly fee in 2024 is ridiculous.

    in 1998 when it was a new concept and a lot of money had to go into maintaining the sheer volume of people using servers at a time when the internet couldn’t handle more than 20 Star Trek fanboys at once without using up all the bandwith, sure. I could see that.

    But in 2024 where even small Indie studios can afford regular free content updates and still make a profit from word of mouth game sales? Yeaaah no.



  • The rich do not think critically about the world around them. They have never had to fight for anything in their lives, all their success is just handed to them. They’ve never had to make hard decisions.

    This means that they have never had to be introspective or give any thought to how their actions affect those around them.

    They are simply disillusioned because their wealth puts a barrier between them and the harshness of life.

    So they do not recognize suffering when they see it, and when they do they blame the victim because they know that this couldn’t happen to them, and that means it doesn’t happen to anybody worthwhile.


  • This reminds me of when I kinda realized Fox News was pure evil because I saw them talking about how Obama was this crazy tyrant who was plotting to destroy the nation…

    And I just asked the guy on the TV “Wait, if he’s a Tyrant who doesn’t care about the Constitution hellbent on this evil, flaunting it as you say… Then why hasn’t he ordered your execution? Why are you on the number 1 rated News program talking about this in broad daylight in a high definition television that’s just sitting casually in the middle of this Hardee’s?”

    And then that’s when the lady behind the counter is like “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”

    and I’m like “I am a Ma’am, and this is a Hardee’s!”
