The idea that you can control capitalists with ‘your wallet’ is flawed. Its never worked that way. Capitalism is controlled by regulations, or its not and you get crony capitalism.
Most “normal” gamers dont care about the same things gamers that are more invested in the hobby do. I.e by and large, the “average” gamer isn’t voting with their wallets against the enshittening of the industry.
Poorly summarized: People have already voted with their wallets, which is why live service games and microtransactions are prevalent - They’re catering to a market that buys them.
TLDW: 8 minutes of vacuous navel-gazing which could have been distilled to the following 4 sentences:
But who involves themselves that much with games? Critics, journalists and enthusiasts. But what percentage of the whole do these people make? If you’re watching this video right now I imagine you’d be considered an outlying statistic a few steps away from the average demographic the industry continues to target.
Apparently you can install linux on these things but I rather just support valve and have a polished linux experience along with giving money to a company that is improving linux gaming.
It's a really cool roguelike basebuilder game and the Ancient Seals is the most recent of many updates for it that we've gotten, adding more goals in the game and an overarching narrative / progression in each cycle so settlements feel more connected than before.
It's relatively cheap, the developers are great at supporting the game and listening to feedback, and I definitely recommend it for anyone curious about it. The game has felt finished and very polished for over a year now so don't let the early access tag dissuade you from trying it out
tl;dr It's a good game and it's consistently getting better
The game is fully playable and has hardly any bugs. They have a set schedule for updates: every two weeks. I’m amazed at the changes they’ve done since I picked it up during the winter sale (9ish months ago). The devs are dedicated, that’s for sure.
It’s one of my favourite games. The devs are really good at making the choices you make interesting and meaningful.
