That’s the anti-woke propaganda the text you’re quoting is complaining about. If you listen to anyone right wing long enough this is what they’ll bring up eventually. it’s “fake news” basically – very dangerous fake news.

Perhaps you misunderstood the poster?

Edit: nope, I did.

can you explain?

misrepresenting the anti-woke crowd? I think they literally believe that stuff, forced diversity etc.

Edit: nvm, I was wrong.

yeah, I think there’s been a terrible miscommunication somewhere. It might help if you clarify – do you yourself believe that there is a sizeable contingent of people who want to force games to include all walks of life?

jsomae, 19 godzin temu (edited 19 godzin temu)

those are the people 1984 is talking about, or rather to, I believe.

Edit: nvm, 1984 is among them perhaps.

Out of curiosity, did you like Andor? Because it had all that stuff too but it was well written instead. Just think about how many women are lead roles on Andor for a second.

They made the product they want, they’re free to do that.

But they aren’t free – Disney has total executive control. This is nothing new though; they used to use this power to censor queerness in shows before (e.g. Gravity Falls). They may still perhaps, and may do so again. Disney in general reigns in everything to make it a sterile corporate product and the artists involved have to swim upstream to make something they want.

We should all boycott Disney and take its capitalist grip off our culture. Then we can have vastly more diverse media, certainly with more queerness.

I just want to remind you all that Gary Bowser, switch modder, owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He also is in a wheelchair and has kids.

Please don’t post hearsay. If you want to post something incriminating, take a second to verify it first. This is how bad rumors propagate, and as a society today it’s a problem we’re facing like never before. Do your part!

In this case you’re completely wrong.

It was previously announced that no announcement on switch 2 would be made until 2025

I don’t respect the way IP is abused by large companies. I support short-term IP as I think it does help individuals in a net-positive way for everyone.

I could be convinced that short-term IP is bad too, but regardless I think long-term is the the big problem. Games from the 80s should all be public domain by now.

I respect that.

I don’t exactly understand Google’s response. “[Many of the tickets in this database are merely flags and not actual incidents. The issue in question is over six years old. It was deemed non-intentional.]” Equivocating?

I’d be thrilled to get another Morrowind expansion.

Yes! Tamriel rebuilt is really cool.

Article mentions the death of flash was a nail in Neopets’ coffin, but they don’t mention the open source Ruffle project which resuscitated Neopets’ flash content.

No, it’s unreasonable to expect the servers to stay online forever. Instead, they should be required to hand the keys over to the community if they stop providing the online service.

I never play games that are pure online with no LAN support.

so that no further intervention whatsoever is necessary for the game to function

I mean, I’d accept “release the source code” but this doesn’t.

jsomae, 5 miesięcy temu

I wouldn’t require source code, no. I would just consider that one acceptable form of allowing the game to continue being playable. However, it requires intervention from the user, so it wouldn’t be accepted under this proposal.

Under the proposed rule, a company would not avoid penalty by releasing the source code.

Good point.

Moreso, I like to be able to have control of the game. If I play a game with my friends that I like, I don’t want the game to be changed into something else (live service) so I can’t come back and play the version we once did.

I don’t think he’s saying to tip for a Blizzard game. He’s not at Blizzard anymore (probably still has stock though).

I basically agree, I mean, I’d tip for a game I really like. Actually I do, indirectly. I buy other things from companies like FromSoft. I would go further than you and admit I agree with him despite the irony.

The dorf fort devs made like $3k-6k per month throughout the 2010s. They did end up going commercial to get more. But it was hardly “not even a little profitable.” I mean, I’d take that deal to do what I love too.

That game was good mostly because of the modders who made Wintermaul, DOTA, Sheep Tag, etc… The base game had dated graphics even on release.
