They’ll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.

Don’t listen to their lies.

This is going to turn into a cult at some point

Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

I honestly think at this point, anyone still giving this scam money deserves the loss.

As long as they’re only hurting themselves, I’m all for watching stupid people fail miserably.

They have a management problem. Roberts has had a history with badly managing projects especially where his uberambition is unchecked.

They could’ve entirely and easily avoided the forever beta tag if they had released the single player early on (even if it wasn’t perfect), like they had promised and then continued to work on the persistent universe.

Healthcare is just a way to coerce the working class to produce value for the wealthy. That is the real reason why there is no universal healthcare in America.

He seems to know a lot about “young boys.”

Shameful, but this is the state of modern game developers. Scrap every possible avenue of paying your workers a living wage while surrendering to all latest failure tech fads.

Neither of those things happened here.

The examples people found include a monitor showing random technical text that someone asked a LLM to write (presumably the writer who goofed is getting paid) and some localized subtitles that were left with a machine localization (the rest of the localization was contracted out).

Even assuming a bunch of other stuff in the game was AI generated and just went undetected, which is likely, if it's all iterations on what people noticed it definitely doesn't fit your description.

People vote for this guy.

SCmSTR,

This guy unfortunately and unironically exists and likely has more power than anybody on the fediverse.

We have free health care? Coulda fooled me.

I’m disabled and can’t afford a working computer to play video games, you rich motherfucker.

But where's the free healthcare?

nostalgicgamerz,

He’s probably (attempting) to reference welfare … essentially trying to justify work requirements for it

Rich people always think they pay for everyone. Wrong.

We are in the same society. A society with no hope is not a stable society.

Its a lot more rewarding than choking on a small carrot.

Blumpkinhead,

Should have chewed first.

I got fucked up in a video game and can’t handle the defeat so I blame them for attention!

Anybody who has ever been unfortunate enough to have to apply for any of these healthcare or food stipend programs would know that it’s not as easy as the government makes it seem. In fact, the amount of bureaucracy, means testing, and highly restrictive income limitations means that most people don’t qualify period and people who do qualify have to spend an inordinate amount of time waiting to hear back from the government to know if they have been accepted or not, all the while hoping and praying they don’t get sick and can manage their money long enough to continue feeding themselves.

Case in point, my fiance is out of work right now and actively seeking work. She applied for both MediCAL and SNAP and was denied for MediCAL because she had earned too much already that year to qualify and the SNAP benefits totaled out to $20/month in food stamps, based on historical income, which is insufficient even for the most frugal of individuals to make work. This is for someone currently earning $0/month and being almost entirely supported by me.

After a certain point, it becomes a massive drain on your time and resources that could be spent looking for a job, so you stop bothering with the system altogether because who wants to spend hours doing paperwork and submitting claims just to get enough spare change to buy a bulk bag of rice to feed yourself a struggle meal?

I don’t want to hear shit about “handouts” from anybody. My fiance paid her taxes faithfully for years without ever having to rely on the program, so where are her benefits? She has undoubtedly paid more into the system than she will ever extract.
