bluesocks, miesiąc temu do games w 'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames

That’s a midwit take.

Valve’s real problem is their DRM.

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.

No, we really don’t have to hold them in a different standard. It makes sense they are kowtowing to the fascist regime though

finitebanjo, miesiąc temu

Yes my entire point is that what they’re doing makes sense. It would actually be strange if the did anything differently given their position.

T00l_shed, miesiąc temu

Right, so no need to say anything about different standards

finitebanjo, miesiąc temu

It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.

If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.

Fuck that shit. Standards are called standards for a reason. MS can eat shit or comment.

Well, fuck. Interplay was a huge part of my youth.

I’m interested to see the fan response to this.

I feel like the average video game player has really poor media and political literacy, but maybe it’s just the ones who make noise online who fit that profile.

Sport games sell very well every year and have tons of predatory monetization. The target audience is not very discerning.

Voroxpete, 2 miesiące temu do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.

Sure, they’ll just now promote games where Nazis and religious fundies murder journalists and gender minorities

So, more of the same or worse.

What he means is that they will still be a pos company that only cares about the bottom line and COULD NOT care less about the end user. Exactly the same.

Go fuck yourselves you greedy corporate colostomy bags.

Hopefully this shreds EA and their IPs to bits and we finally get some new and original ideas from the indie studios that pop up from the ruins.

TheBat, 2 miesiące temu do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Delete your EA accounts if you haven’t already.

If true… that is not saying what they were trying to say about their current company values.
