I hate headlines like these. It feels like they’re intentionally ambiguous.

Honestly, I’m a bit skeptical of StopKillingGames. It feels like a good thing, but it also comes off as naive. Like the whole “just distribute the server” requirement is impossible with the way modern games are developed, and may be cost-prohibitive to implement for most developers well into the future. Besides, some games really are less like a painting and more like a musical; performance art necessarily has to end at some point, so it’s all about the experience and the memories. Nobody complains when the actors take a bow, because that’s the expectation.
Louis Rossman sometimes rubs me the wrong way, but he usually makes really good, nuanced points: youtu.be/TF4zH8bJDI8?si=m4QGHfHY1fOtITpw
Keep the debate alive, because we all love playing games.

The challenge is that requires creativity. Creativity isn’t a stable investment.
Viva La indie game studio!

Didn’t they give out refunds? That seems like the right thing to do when a massively multiplayer game is dead on arrival.

As they say: Some people want to watch the world burn… Other people want to carry the torches.
I salute your bravery.

Like, I know the “no ragerts” thing is funny and all … but this is legit a great take. I wish more people took this approach. Take the small failures in stride.

Invasive honey bees are less effective pollinators for most native species. However, they indeed consume a lot of nectar, leaving little for the more effective native species to survive.

I work at a father son activity centre…
That’s great!
…you would be shocked at how few women I see spending time with their own children!
I’m not at all shocked. Selfish behavior isn’t exclusive to men. Women are also deeply flawed humans.
These are US based and based on separated parents.
I provided non-anecdotal evidence, and you shit on it? What are your priorities?
Selectively observing statistics doesn’t give a good representation of real life, but shitting on other people for selectively observing statistics doesn’t help, either.

If you’ve been alive for more than 30 seconds, it’s not just anecdotal. But to appease the challenge, anyways: www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/…/p60-269.pdf There’s a massive imbalance between custodial fathers and custodial mothers. Even worse is the imbalance in child support negligence.
Can we please just admit that there are normal biological/social/economic/perceived/identity differences between men and women? That’s not to say all of those differences are good or desirable, or that they are without variation, but can we at least recognize the state of our world without shunning those with different viewpoints?
