I just put my current durge run on hold to finish off a different run, so hopefully when I come back, the patch will be live.

Pronell,

I’ve finished the game three times and keep the end savefile, so I can still go back to my Durge and see what’s new.

The fact that they keep improving this game is just gold. And here i was, thinking of doing a full evil durge playthrough on honour mode. This update will add a new motivation to do so, if i don’t spoil myself by watching the new endings of course.

I played once as a goody-two-shoes, trying to keep all my followers in check (even the vampire). Are there any companions that stick with you on evil playthroughs?

I think all CEO’s should create some sort of tip platform.

They do so much single handedly for the company, most companies could simply not exist or have any direction without them and their leadership.

And to make things worse they aren’t appreciated and are hardly compensated.

Imagine having to go to lunches at fancy golf courses, trips with your peers to exotic locations, all for a measly few hundred million per year?

CEO’s are almost being mistreated and borderline persecuted infront of us, and all they want is to be treated and compensated fairly like the average worker with 3 jobs.

Maybe if we all come together and show them that we care , and more importantly, send them as much of our money as we can, then they will feel better about their terrible circumstances.

Sure, put it out for free and I’ll donate the same as I do for any open source software I use.

Blizzard is such a disgusting company nowdays. They don’t even try to hide it.

How about shareholders tip me instead?

If there’s a need for tips, your business model sucks and you should be ashamed of yourself.

If there’s no need for tips, you could just take some of your perverted bonuses or some of that ridiculous amount of money you take out of children’s pockets with micro transactions and show those people some love who did the actual work, you prick. They make millions and millions for you.

What a world we live in where asshats like that step forward and ejaculate their greed into the world and expect applause!

Disgusting.

To all of you who still tip in this day and age: will this convince you that tipping culture only exists to underpay (usually black) workers?

Empricorn,

You think we like it!? Stiffing the human who relies on those tips to survive will not change tipping culture.

Omega_Haxors,

Sure then, tip your landlord for all I care.

Empricorn,

Lol, nice strawman.

MeetInPotatoes,

As a white middle-aged guy who spent most of my youth waiting tables for a job…No.

I’d tip the developers any day, but not the shareholders or execs who treat the developers like slaves…

intensely_human,

Nah man. Tipping has its place and it’s not to take the place of regular payment for goods. Developer makes a product, I’ll buy it like a product.

Expanding the scope of tipping is not good.

thirteene,

Tipping is a exploitive behavior used to underpay staff with a high variance system. Employers need to pay a living wage.

“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn't lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

  1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.
  2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.
  3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2

I think you meant Overwatch. O2 seems universally hated. Rated “overwhelming negative” (17%) on Steam.

VelvetStorm,

They haven’t made a good game since wrath of the litch king.

icesentry,

Blizzard stopped making good games way before that.

Pong was the last good game, everything since then is garbage /s

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Pong was trash. Nothing has ever topped Tennis for Two.

Omega_Haxors, (edited )

People only play Overwatch 2 because they deleted the vastly superior original so they could squeeze out more money.

@frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Christ I’d rather play Paladins than OW2 and Paladins is literally TEMU Fantasy Overwatch

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

No doubt. Same with CS.

rickyrigatoni,

Overwatch wasn’t good either.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

You’re entitled to your opinion, but it was a very popular and well-loved game by many. O2? Not so much.

rickyrigatoni,

If overwatch was so good why didn’t they make overwatch 2 good

Buddahriffic,

Because it was made as an excuse to fully transition to a f2p business model. It wasn’t a game anyone was asking for and the only way they could get people to use it over the first one was by shutting the first one down. It was their way of pushing enshitification.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Greed.

rickyrigatoni,

good games make more money than bad games so clearly you’re wrong

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Not really true. While there are lots of factors in how profitable a game is, the biggest one is marketing. Regardless of how good it is. Brand name recognition. Like any other industry. It’s why games like CoD and Assassin’s Creed are ridden the fuck to death despite continuously getting worse.

rickyrigatoni,

wrong

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Hmm, you make a convincing argument…

rickyrigatoni,

another win for me :)

crusa187,

Pretty sure they meant to say Warcraft 3 was the last good blizz game.

jsomae,

That game was good mostly because of the modders who made Wintermaul, DOTA, Sheep Tag, etc… The base game had dated graphics even on release.

Skasi,

Very true, but only the fact that the game had such an incredible and easy to use map editor was the reason this was possible.

jsomae,

I don’t think he’s saying to tip for a Blizzard game. He’s not at Blizzard anymore (probably still has stock though).

I basically agree, I mean, I’d tip for a game I really like. Actually I do, indirectly. I buy other things from companies like FromSoft. I would go further than you and admit I agree with him despite the irony.
