Im happy. Best state the game has been in and can only get better from here.

Cool, but it’s not going to make the game any better.

They’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.

It’s… not supposed to make the game better? It’s supposed to make working conditions for the team better.

gradual,

I never said it was to make the game better, only that it probably won’t which is what’s mostly relevant to me.

I don’t really have sympathy for people working for blizzard.

@rigatti@lemmy.world avatar

You said it’s not going to make the game better, so is the implication not that it’s supposed to make the game better somehow?

gradual,

Alright bud, I’m just gonna ignore ya.

Goodbye.

Glad I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the insufferable people that just aren’t worth engaging with.

  • 100,

    you identified yourself?

    gradual,

    No, I’m not the one who is desperately trying to drag people into an internet debate.

    ArmoredThirteen,

    Are you a Magikarp because you seem like you’re hurting yourself in your confusion

    gradual,

    It seems like you’re just trying to fit in with your peers.

    Also, confusion has nothing to do with Magikarp. Magikarp uses splash.

    ArmoredThirteen,

    Nah I’m not worried about my peers I just think you’re easy to string along and it amuses me

    gradual,

    Sigh, more censorship.

    Gonna need better communities without the mod abuse soon.

    AstralPath,

    You’re self-filtering yourself from the community. Based on these interactions, I think you’re doing the lord’s work. Keep it up!👍

    gradual,

    Ok.

    So you just go and post an off-topic rant, because you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions?

    Do you even realize how narcissistic you sound like?

    Looking at your comment history I’m not really surprised, all you contributions looks like similar to this thread, but I’d like to give you a chance before banning you to keep this community turning toxic because of people like you.

    gradual, (edited )

    Lol, what? If they want better working conditions, they can work somewhere other than Activision Blizzard, one of the scummiest companies in the world that’s actively contributing to tarnishing the integrity of the medium.

    Also, I literally said “Cool” in response to them unionizing, so you’re just straight up lying when you say “you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions”

    I even clarified by saying what I prioritize.

    It’s sad watching you get this mad at me because I said I don’t like a game and then threaten to abuse your power to ban me.

    Seek help.

    turning toxic because of people like you.

    The real toxicity is from the people responding to me like you lying, calling me a narcissist, and threatening to ban me just to support the dogpile.

    Sound like someone who never had any difficulty to find work (or do not work at all). Many worker do not have the possibility to easily change work, either because of the lack of similar companies in the vicinity, added to various reason for not being able to easily move home (kids, mortgages, among other). And even when they can, changing company is a jump into the unknown. It can be better, on the start of an even worse nightmare. At least in a company they already know, they have contacts, friends, and now, an union to protect them.

    Also, I literally said “Cool” in response to them unionizing, so you’re just straight up lying when you say “you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions”

    Cool, but it’s not going to make the game any better.

    You are right, I’m caricaturing it a bit. The problem is that you immediately rant about it not going your way. If you’d really want to congratulate them for that, you wouldn’t immediately go on a rant about yourself immediately. Let’s get another example. Would you say to a friend announcing getting engaged “Cool, but I still can’t get laid”? No you wouldn’t, only a narcissist would.

    I even clarified by saying what I prioritize.

    That a bit the problem. You prioritize yourself, in a context that has no reason to. We are talking about the employees, not you. Either talk about the topic of the thread, even if you are against it, but don’t drag it to yourself at every occasion.

    It’s sad watching you get this mad at me because I said I don’t like a game and then threaten to abuse your power to ban me.

    Seek help.

    If I’m that much into banning everyone, I would have done it without giving you a chance of arguing back. The people I banned indefinitely are all spambots or bad faith trolls. Other than that I usually give 3-7 days bans when things go too far, to give people time to self-reflect and join us again on a later date. Considering how well your comments were received by the community, I doubt the community will miss you while your enjoy your alone time.

    The real toxicity is from the people responding to me like you lying, calling me a narcissist, and threatening to ban me just to support the dogpile.

    I see we don’t have the same definition of toxicity. If you consider that warning you to take a bit of time to self-reflect as toxicity, then you probably don’t have your place in this community.

    Tiresia,

    Besides, better working conditions for the team means more mentally healthy workers means a better and more creative product.

    Ok. It’s nice that you believe that unionizing is guaranteed to make better products no matter what.

    I still think it won’t improve the game as they’ve been listening to the wrong people for too long.

    But hey, maybe they can make a new game that’s good.

    echodot,

    Why are you arguing? You’ve stated your opinion, great we’ve heard it, but unfortunately it’s based on zero knowledge, so it’s worthless.

    gradual,

    Who’s arguing? We’re agreeing to disagree.

    It looks like you’re getting mad at me for disagreeing with you though. It’s ok for you to think what you want.

    @bright_side_@lemmy.world avatar

    Hey just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your perspective. I know that unions result, in general, in better working conditions. However me as a customer not only supporting such companies, if I choose so, but also benefitting from better products in general is a nice perspective. food for thought!

    Elevator7009,

    Did not know Tillamook was employee-owned. Their ice cream is great, now I have a reason to prioritize buying from them.

    RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) do games w A Video Game Flopped Harder Than Anything At The Box Office This Year, And The Mainstream Press Barely Noticed

    The American mainstream news media has been obsessed with pushing/covering politics for the last 6 or 7 months, and both political parties are giving the media massive stockpiles of ammo for ragebait-fuelled ad revenue. Why would they ever cover video games, something mainstream media outlets have historically blamed some of the worst tradgedies in American history on, when it will neither give them free ad revenue, nor continue to villanize video games?

    intensely_human, do games w Zelda-Inspired Plucky Squire Shows What Happens When A Game Doesn't Trust Its Players

    That’s kind of the definition of a video game: a game in which the rules are enforced by an unconsciously intelligent mechanism.

    A normal game requires trusting the players; a video game does not.

    kaffiene,

    Pretty sure you misunderstood the point being made.

    magic_lobster_party, do games w Zelda-Inspired Plucky Squire Shows What Happens When A Game Doesn't Trust Its Players

    I haven’t played Plucky yet, but this is what I liked about Tunic. It gives you a hint, and then trusts the player to experiment with the hint they’re given. It makes it feel like your own adventure.

    ?? Did you read the article. How does this relate to rainbow six at all lol

    proper,
    @proper@lemmy.world avatar

    I didn’t, and it doesn’t. I’ll just be on my way…

    aStonedSanta,

    Lmao I had the same initial reaction and read the article and was like oh. Okay. 😆. For any other perusers they mean your character resets every season aka Diablo or Path of Exile seasons/leagues.

    If I were a dev, that wouldn’t be my priority in a first person Game either.

    I repeatedly spend time deciding on clothing choices etc for my character only to proceed to never actually see them outside the menu.

    I’ve been holding out for an eventual PS5 Pro version since day 1. The base PS5 having less space than my stock PS4 Pro was the biggest dealbreaker for me.

    Very smart of arrow head to announce the update to get the public’s opinion before the change was implemented.
