I didn’t mean to imply your game was lacking in complexity. But even this article is just ticking boxes for: bosses, loot tiers, etc. it’s all very generic sounding.
What’s your game about?

Your pitch could use some work. You described the basic mechanics of every other mmo with this, but I don’t have a feel for what sets yours apart from any other.

- Comment on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo 1 week ago:
Wow. This is what happens when you put someone without game industry experience in charge of your game division. Incredibly stupid decisions all around.

- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 2 weeks ago:
There were and still are.
You, as an individual, right now, have a limit on how much money you can donate to a political campaign.
An organization is able to bypass that by spending that money directly in support of the campaign, but not directly giving it to them. Thus granting the organization’s owners more political power than they had as an individual.
- Comment on Citizens United was never about helping people 2 weeks ago:
Except that’s not how they implemented it. Somehow organizing grants you EXTRA rights over being an individual. Suddenly you get an avenue to get around personal contribution limits, on top of retaining your original personal contributions allowance…

Hitting it big, In Indie terms, is making even $1 in profit, though.
Like 90% don’t even make back their budget

Running smooth but encountering logical error that messes up the ability to play
Is different from
Sluggish performance and choppy rendering

Except they’re not set up to be able to do that like the movie industry is.

Yeah, I went to school for it. Never broke in. Ended up with a much better and wayyyy more stable job.
Couldn’t imagine trying to get in now that every studio is owned by like ~3 companies.

It’ll be the same as the last 3 games. Who gives a shot?
- Comment on Are inmates apart of the jobs report that comes out? Like the ones who fight wildfires, or clean up roads or on a work release program? What about the unemployment numbers? 5 weeks ago:
One of the statistics relies on who is applying for Unemployment Insurance payments.
Which run out if you’re on them for 6 months in a year. So that stat starts to get really unreliable after July, and gets worse as it approaches December.

- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 5 weeks ago:
Obama brought in free healthcare
Well that didn’t happen. He brought us a Republican healthcare plan that cemented private insurance into our system and fined people who didn’t have any. The public option got dropped because of captured senators refusing to vote on the bill unless it was removed.

And priests

The bigots are illiterate and congregate around the most basic forms of communication.
- Comment on Saber CEO scorns writer who says she was fired in favor of AI with confusing, combative statement 1 month ago:
So much consolidation in the last decade means that the majority of the by AAA game devs are owned by like 2-3 companies at this point. It’s horrendous.
Like Activision used to be the nicest publisher. Then it merged with Blizzard and Vivendi (who owned Bethesda), and then Microsoft just straight up bought them, and King (candy crush dev). And now MS wants almost nothing to do with games after doing fuck all with those acquisitions except laying people off and closing some of the studios.
- Comment on Just to get this straight Odysseus angered the gods by just trying to survive the only way he could at the time? 1 month ago:
In the poem, a trojan starts to point out how the horse is obviously a trap, but Poseidon sends one of his sea serpents to eat the guy mid sentence.
The rest of the Trojans, witnessing this, decide to bring in the horse anyway.
Odysseus later doesn’t thank Poseidon for saving his plan and proceeds to brag about his genius, and insults the gods some more.

- Comment on 'Locking a gameplay trailer behind a Netflix subscription is a new level of greed' — GTA 6 callout Rockstar for 'paywalling' the game's extended look 1 month ago:
That’s just a terrible business model. Artificially limiting the advertisement of your product.
Not that it won’t be lakes elsewhere within 20 minutes of going live.
I still don’t get why people care about a new gra. It’ll play exactly the same as the last 3.
