I think the movement stumbled into two potholes almost simultaneously and everyone bashing on him got it out of both of them. His discrediting and rejection of the movement didn’t help but in my opinion the far bigger problem was just the lack of advertising.
Until all of the controversy I’d literally never heard about the petitions, nor had I ever heard of anyone involved with it. I was aware of the lawsuit around the shutting down of the crew but I believe that was the extent of it. Even the likes of Lewis Rothman weren’t talking about it until about 2 months ago, so how’s a random person on the street going to know about it?
Oh God the thing he does where he just draws random circles in ms paint drives me mental. I was trying to watch some of his videos in order to be able to form my own opinion of him, and that tendency drove me mad there’s literally no point to it.
The problem I have with him is that he just announces things, like with the stop killing games movement, he just said the movement is bad and he doesn’t support it but he never explained himself. Even to this day I don’t actually understand what his problem with the movement is. He isn’t a publisher, so I don’t understand why he cares.
That’s like saying that colonies on Mars are the future. In the future colonies on Mars will be the direction things are going, (assuming we don’t global warm ourselves to death first) but we’re not there yet. AI have yet to prove themselves.
Personally I agree. The problem is then you have to declare it and the way that steam currently handles that declaration is literally the worst possible implementation of the idea, - all games just get dumped into the same category of “uses AI”. I would actually prefer them to just take the tag away, then keep it in its current dysfunctional state.
It’s just a tag that says that AI was used in some aspect of making the game, but there’s no breakdown of how the AI was used, did it author code or did it design background elements that no one will really see, because there’s a huge difference there, and the distinction is important.
Yeah I hate this trend of you have to subscribe in order to not be tracked. I just agree to the cookies and then block them at the OS level. Get to have my cake and eat it too.
Yeah bikes were really useless in GTA V because even the narrowest alleyway could be driven down. Hopefully they have some narrow alleyways that you might be able to skip down to avoid the police.
He’s not a dictator (yet), if the republicans face a lot of backlash for this they might feel the need to rain him in a bit, give him some Xanax and a fidget spinner or something.
Well there hasn’t really been any good games for it. I suspect it’ll be like that until GTA comes out next year. Everyone was holding off in releasing until after that as they think I’ll cost $90 and that’ll open the flood gates
Unemployee in a local second-hand shop that was telling another customer the reason they have loads of switch 2s in is because there is basically nothing to play on them. You get it play the limited number of games that Nintendo have made and then does nothing else to do. So people sell them.
Star citizen isn’t an example of an open beta that got stretched out. It’s an example of a scam.
A game of similar scope to star citizen is starship simulator, except that isn’t a scam and, oh look, it’s making surprisingly better progress (there still isn’t anything to actually do in it yet but it’s much further along in much shorter period of time). You can tell it isn’t a scam because people aren’t being asked to pay extra to access some more unfinished content.
It’s an interesting game and it has some good ideas, but it’s incredibly janky. I’ve seen single devs develop games in less than a year that have better animations.
But despite it’s rather dated look and it’s clunky controls it does have a very large map and a large play account per map. That’s quite attractive to some people.
Although personally I suspect people are going to come up with a better version of the game in battlefield via portal.
That’s why if you are ever developing anything you never do it on company computers, it’s always on your own devices and on your own time. Yet time and time again supposedly smart people load up their side project on work computers.
