Comment on Anon is worried about AAA sales
ferrule@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoWhat I find utterly asinine is it seems like the even care less about profits than they do feeding their egos and following this shit model of operation. Building shit games, injecting all the dlc, microtransactions crap and then charging so much no on wants to buy more. I constantly overspend on GOG and the like because its easy to get me in the door. If I have to save up to buy a game I have a lot of time to talk myself out of it.

Yeah, it is assinine.
Because really what this all boils down to is an excercise in vanity, in self-validation essentially by force.
You can see this everywhere in society… fucking, Trump is threatening the genocide of a civilization, ultimately, to avoid having to ever admit he was wrong about anything.
What is wild to me is that… you know like schizotypal people get a horrible rap in society, because they’re unstable and dangerous!
Yeah, yes, its tragic when one of them snaps and does something horrible.
But you what is fucking everywhere, so commonplace that its just expected?
Absurdly overconfident malignant narcissists.
They’re very often literally sociopaths, and they very often do nothing other than ruin the lives of those around them, to validate themselves.
But again this is just apparently so normal, that it even registers at a social level when it is hyper obvious and extreme, as with Destiny or Thor/Pirate Software.
They’re all the same personality type… never take accountability for anything, gaslight you into thinking you somehow made a mistake or misunderstood them… when they will and do just say anything that they think will make them more highly regarded.
Its narcissists that are the most dangerous kind of person to human society, but we hardly at all treat them the way we treat a far smaller number of people with overall, far less dangerous neurotypes.
