This always happens with mergers, and it’s disgusting that our government knows this and allows it to happen without a plan.
T-Mobile buying sprint did the same thing. “Oh, we’ll need everyone on deck!” Really? You’ll need 2 teams rolling out the same phone? You’ll need twice as many people managing the same amount of plans? That’s just not how it works.
Surprisingly, as soon as the heat was off of them after the merger they laid off entire departments that were “redundant”. Never trust a corpo kids.
We’ve tried layoffs, we’ve tried cutting funding, revoking investments, and still they refuse to be profitable! We’ll close them now to show them how they failed.
It wasn’t polished yes, graphics were not great and people were justified being disappointed and returning it if they felt like it was game breaking
But the vitriol is what I mean, the pure hate, the threats to developers, the anger thrown at them. That is what I’m referring to. If some graphical issues make you so mad that you need to literally threaten people then I think you shouldn’t game anymore. That’s where I say entitled and anger issues.
Yeah I think expectations are too high, where people expected a perfect game like cities skylines forgetting that when it launched it was also a very rocky start.
Gamers in general are just very entitled, and very unforgiving
Maybe they’re learning from Sony. That barely anyone runs out to get another console for exclusives, way more people will wait or just not play the game. They’re mostly just leaving money on the table
Bingo. AI is shockingly good at building simple things, helping with direct questions about items. It cannot replace humans in its current state.
At this point it’s CEO bluster just like the blockchain, where the suits are talking about technology like they personally handcrafted it while the actual engineers are sitting in the back of the room thinking “uh, there’s no way it can do that”.
I think we’re going to see a couple hilarious cycles of some shit thinks they can replace humans with AI, fail spectacularly, and then quietly go back.
Well, for one, I play role playing games. So, I like to experience different roles, different ways of thinking, and playing as someone like FemShep or female V in Cyberpunk offers a much different perspective on life than if I played as a male. I’m a male, I go outside as a male, why do the same thing in gaming?
And for a second reason, if I’m playing a third person shooter why would I (a straight male) want to stare at a man’s ass for 120ish hours?
