Was talking with a friend about the peacenotwar thing. I think its pretty interesting to view so many of the decisions like this through the “we have to do something” mindset so many people have, especially on social media. All of these co

Fair, didnt know too much about the celeste options until this recent debate. Dont have too much to add, but thanks for the very well put together argument. I am very much one for keeping the artists vision as true as possible so maybe that

The inconsistencies bother me the most. I use it a lot while driving, and have to reach down to swipe the screen to skip a song. This is a pretty mindless, natural motion. Sometimes though (till I found out you can disable it) it would swit

I agree with you in pretty much every case, except probably from games and games aiming for the same thing. So much of the experience comes from the struggle to overcome overwhelming odds and an oppressive world. That’s thematically why the

Yeah I guess my comment was focusing on the biggest budget, AAA titles which usually end up going this way. I'd bet the focus on fps and sports comes down to the mainstream appeal/type of audience those games get. But yeah the ind

Fair. Personally I think if their done right it's fine. The master chief collection has one of the best, most consumer friendly ones that I've seen.

The worst part of this trend to me is how many games sacrifice their identity to fit the mold that is now most profitable, it feels so soulless. This is all from my own experience/memory. Every game needs live service, seasons, and a b

I’ve always said that something like this could be a cool idea, but I don’t get why nft/blockchain is necessary. Speaking about the Ubisoft nft thing (because I understand it the best), Steam marketplace has been doing the same thing v

Though its talking about video games and not social networks, I think it apples. A somewhat similar thing has been happening in the gaming world, where useful/fun social features are removed for the sake of toxicity and the few bad ac
