• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Valve does not get anywhere near enough criticism': DayZ creator Dean Hall says the 'gambling mechanics' of Valve's monetization strategy 'have absolutely no place' in videogames⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You share that opinion with the many libertarians in this world, but unfortunately it is not that simple (and has not that much to do with financial privilege). I know it is en vogue to dismiss scientific insight, but sociology, psychology and medicine paint a very complex picture with many internal and external risk factors.

  Exposing children and young adults to a gambling system with a very low entry barrier in a space that is hard for parents/guardians to oversee means malevolently accepting that you‘ll turn some of them into addicts that would not be otherwise.

  If you are not an addict, that just means that you haven‘t been in the right (wrong) situation (yet). That of course is a true privilege.

  You should educate yourself on how addiction works if you don’t want to sound like an idiot yourself.

  You know that gambling addiction is an illness?

  If you want to hate on this you could at leasdt argue that the games that will not be killed are crap in the first place because they are shitty live service games.

  I thought you were right and even in the case of boomer shooter you could argue „well it was made by some boomers“ but this is a game from 2007, fuck that.

  I don‘t think Silksong posed a threat to their success. They are already doing fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hades II - Post-Launch Patch 1 Preview & Notes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is done, this is a balancing patch. The early access wasn’t “real long”, it started in may 2024 and ended last month with frquent major updates and a completed roadmap. It will also remain a singleplayer game with no multiplayer or live service features.

  Very tiny outlets that try to do better should be supported.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I‘d rather read a well articulated opinion that is embedded into a rich cultural context than some rambling from strangers. I know the former is hard to find (Eurogamer and RPS are good, but suffer from layoffs, too). The latter I only skim through to find things I might find distracting that were omitted by others.

  Just don’t overdo it. I’m not a native speaker and I don’t know if OP’s post is generated, but the dash in the third bullet point really serves no purpose. The first dash could be replaced with a more appropriate colon.

  I know, but DAWs are notoriously difficult to run and there are problems with most plugins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately the only music software I’m somewhat productive at runs only on Windows or Mac, and I really can’t afford Apple’s hardware prices. So it’s either using WIndows, or being very limited at a very dear creative outlet.

  That just seems so anti-SCP to me.

  Maybe because they didn’t actually made a game about SCP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Spoiler] Day 420 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (The Last of Us Part II)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I lowered the difficulty on some occasions during the game, the Rat King was one of them. The difficulty spikes were pretty rough, I wonder if this was intentional.

  I also had fun discovering the tabletop game. I enjoyed looking at other people’s homes in general.
