And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.
They completely understand… the numbers saying that they’re making money hand over fist and the number of people who care is sadly minuscule.
These games have hit a critical mass where people will casually buy them because they’re friends are and so its a common ground game to play with buddies.
I don’t think we can ever rely on consumers pushing back on anti consumer practises because of the reality of people.
Not everyone can afford to care about every issue.
As a result, boycotts are very unlikely to work in the modern world. There is just too much all at once for any one person to care about all of them, so even if you, lets say, care about 1% (a really high estimate) of things that are wrong in the world, and are willing to act, if we extrapolated that out to the whole population, the only things that would move would need to have double digit percentages of peoples care overlapping before anything stuck.
Really, the answer is that you simply need a government that cares about its people/consumer rights.
The USA and Canada, both are very far away from having governments like that.
Europeans are a lot luckier, but yet still, there is plenty to go.
What I’m reading is use crowd funding with boycotted “would have been sales” funds to lobby government to regulate predatory game monetization 😅 but alas regulatory capture is a bitch and as long as number go up the world be damned so I guess I’ll go back to this ftp Chinese p2w warborne above ashes shenanigans that hits the PvP fix lol
I think Europeans have a chance, and Canadians would have so many chances with so many things if we just got proportional representation, but that’ll happen when Pierre Poilievre stops being a racist alcoholic aka when pigs fly.
The video looked very like Serious Engine, so I downloaded it to see. Nope. Its Unity.
Comically long intro of a narrator and text. Ok, I’m a homeless traitor in Nazi Germany, trying to get my dog back.
Got out of the truck. Oh good. A box jumping obstacle. Hit the space bar. No jump. So I keep trying. And it knocks this box back into the corner, where I can see a mug of something floating there. Health or powerup or some shit. But I can’t get to it because I just kicked this box in the way.
I finally checked the controls. There’s no jump, just kick. You don’t jump in this game. Like old DOOM.
I gave up. I’m in this far. I’ll try it again later.
You need to get cod because everybody has cod. Its cod. You ever told a colleague/schoolfriend/acquaintance/anyone that you like video games? Their next question is “what prestige cod are you”. Cod is love. Cod is life. Cod is the game. You’re not a loser are you?
I could play through it. I’m 40, don’t talk and know the game like the back of my hand. But I’d prefer the Remaster since it’s not all fucked up in Blighttown or the last half of the game.
Not op. Link it and I’ll watch it. There are a lot of games I’m too lazy to play but want to know about the lore and storyline.
It’s very hard to find that sweet spot between complete silence and “omg you don’t need to explain every single item in every single chest!”
Knowing the game inside and out gives you the advantage of being like “you need to know this about what’s going on, also this over here is world building lore, that over there is just randomized loot tho so I’ll skip it”
It would be complete silence ATM since I don’t have a mic.I am planning on getting a pair of lappel mics once I receive the gift card I won last week, tho. Not sure when that’ll be, but I was planning on streaming damn near everything I do once I get that.
You could start streaming now as practice but yeah I’d only be interested after you got the mic. Let me know when you got that going and I’ll take a look. There’s a lot of us out there who just want to watch a semi casual play they of a game. Some conversations but not a 16 hour deep dive into the sword mechanics.
Same with personal banter, maybe tell a funny story but leave out life dramas lol
Just a chill game watching experience for a game I’m too lazy to play.
