Stop being shitty. Skill issue.

Having positive thoughts can lead to improved mood! Why don’t you try that?

“This is a case of a rare incel victory that led to Ubisoft having to take down its numbers,” they added.

Some analysts point to sheer number of games available today, their high prices, and the cost of living crisis for a slowdown in the gaming market. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot himself admitted that gamers now expect extraordinary experiences, and that “delivering solid quality is no longer enough.”

The lesson learned is pander even more and make the hog slop an even more finely liquefied puree of fanservice shit!

I still remember when one of the founding developers of the Diablo series quit after too much corporate skullduggery and went somewhere else to make Torchlight instead.

The corpos he left behind, failsons and businessbros that they were, left a Twitter message regarding that founder’s departure:

“FUCK THAT LOSER.”

That’s what pieces of shit were left in Blizzard ever after.

When something you love gets slowly corrupted.

I wonder if those “corruption” cliches in Blizzard game storytelling throughout the Kotick regime were a sort of subtle cry for help, the way Origin’s developers cried for help during Ultima VII with EA-logo evil magic devices and the like and the massive dunking on Richard “Lord British” Garriot in the Serpent Isle expansion after he fucked them over and sold them out and had a cynically celebratory bonfire party where all their hard work on a Privateer sequel and other projects was set ablaze because he was cashing out.

Kotick was an enjoyer of Little St. James Island, which may come as no surprise to some.

That’s too close to a “it’s just human nature” asspull too often used to justify capitalistic skullduggery.

At some point start introducing power creep so players want to purchase access to new classes and feats.

4th edition already pulled that grift, making each additional book full of Glowing Eyed Generic Epic People a bit more power-creeped than the last.

Expect a lot of smirking, winking, and excessive use of “squelch” sounds.

They’ll probably try the “blind bag” monetization of minis again… or worse, do “blind bags” of subscription model virtual minis with log-in bonus and “battle pass” shit.

Digital art, at the least, didn’t uplift itself at the uncredited expense of the artists themselves, pushing them further into precarity.

you instead surrender the creativity to someone’s fickle whims

The corpos want entire game groups to surrender their own creativity to the diluted reconstituted slop churned out by the treat printers… and pay for that privilege.

I’m sure some will go for it, and never experience the joy of being creative themselves, or having a creative Dungeon Master for that matter. Just line up for more IP-regurgitating slop that burns down acres of forest amid all the prompt retries!

sir, another sale has hit the Wal-Mart

He’s such a bland bleakly boring person that he’d only show an improvement in character if he had a beanie hat.

“I am lobbying to change the legal definition of lemonade so no lemons are required.”

It’s not a monopoly if the monopoly’s reach extends to other business schemes

I refuse to believe that someone who calls me ‘captain smug’ is seriously interested in my opinion.

I’m not and would prefer you just fuck off, but since you’re still here, NAME ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT HAS A SYSTEM YOU CLAIM IS BETTER.

I found the moment they met on video.
