How many people have flypaper’d themselves to that shit, I haven’t seen any numbers

Can’t believe Nine Sols got robbed

Quality as well. Ass vikings had audio mastering that’s outrageously bad for a title made with so much money and the omnipresent vaseline smear of TAA in the recent titles hasn’t done their art direction any favors.

It’s all insultingly preachy and puerile, apart from taking me right out of the setting. GTA didn’t make me a serial killer, this whiny shit won’t make anyone a decent person.

To quote Homestar Runner, like a flaming sack of crap

The stories have also gone downhill to accomodate new bastard genres with fomo shit

Fuck you, Ubi. Apart from all your shitty practices, it’s a 15-hour game that’s 40€ with a 50€ complete edition and cosmetics bullshit. That shit won’t fly anymore. I might get it in two years when it’s 10€, but only if your kill your launcher as a requirement.

edit: also, it came out a month ago. Learn to suck on the long tail of sales before you sacrifice your employees to Chtulhu, they’ll just make their own vaguely middle eastern platformers in Unity or UE and make more money than your shitty company.

I would be careful with such generalizations - not because I’d be downvoted into a hole (I’ve turned the scores off and just DGAF), but it’s epistemologically a bad habit. However, whatever I’ve seen so far that SBI had their fingers in does have a certain fellow-kids, safe-edgy, corporate-approved, plushie-anarchist tone, the dialogues are atrociously bad and disjointed from their theme (Sable’s postapocalypse, for instance). They can do a less funny version of Joss Whedon’s relaxed banter and they tend to stick it everywhere. But what I really dislike about SBI is that it’s obviously a grift, making developers cough protection money to add pronouns and hair colors to characters.

People robbed themselves.

Are you fucking kidding me? It’s 79.99€ on Steam and you’re talking as if the opportunity to experience it is lost forever. If it’s worth a cat shit, I’m looking forward to its proper release in 2026 at 15€ or less.

Putin will be sad

Provided as feedback: celebrity drama is not games, plz piss off with this kind of content.

I agree. We are in the honeymoon phase about to face varying degrees of eternal september and besides someone still pays for bandwidth and domains and who says it won’t be enshittified once it gains traction. This is clearly not a new paradigm.

Good, we need a forward escape from the accursed social media into a new paradigm. Anything eroding that tower of shit is welcome.

They’ll erode the popularity of all three with this shit. You have a hen that lays golden eggs? We have one too! Let’s smash them at the speed of sound and hope it results in a megachicken that lays eggs double in size.

Randy bought it, it’s his property now. I understand hopoo needed money, but they should have made some provisions for extreme idiots attempting enshittification or inept fixes. Their legacy is getting bumfucked a bit, RoR2 is a travesty now.

it does not fulfill the demands of the product safety law

You should mix it up, if your posting history is all ubislop marketing, people finna block your ass.

Are you for real? There’s more games than ever and more of them coming out all the time. It’s just big budget slop that’s enshittified. That is, if you don’t care about game being about a thing you’ve heard before, i.e. some franchise.

I agree with you on everything, other than

I legitimately want to scream sometimes as I feel the continual death of local computing and actual software

…it seems to me that it’s never been better, there’s free software for everything, osm data for mapping, it’s just that our expectations have shifted.

Fuck you, Mozilla. I’ll turn off any option you expose and run away to Librewolf or Fennec as soon as you cross the line. And the line is ublock origin, make no mistake about that. Here’s a tip: Raymond Hill is the most valuable asset Mozilla has and, here’s the kicker – YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE HIM.
