I’m not sure even that would fix it. It’s clearly a capitalism-needs-to-learn-what-actually-makes-games-good problem. Unionization might be the real-world fix, but I’m worried that, even with that, getting a company to create unique games that are fun and high value to gamers could be out of purview.
It’s a money-people in charge problem, the same way that money-people are in charge of things like healthcare. I’m really not sure that unionizing a publicly traded company will have more effect than just changing who is being told what medical procedures are authorized, or in gaming’s case: what decisions to implement to make the investors more money.
And now that this structure has been in place long enough and has gotten so ingrained in the surrounding structures, like education and standard business practices and expectations, and also in culture, it’s going to take more than unionization. Maybe if the whole industry suddenly unionized and had a very clear goal of telling the bean counters to collectively fuck off, but good luck with that happening. We’d all like to see that happen.

Just checked my steam library, I have all three games. 2001, 2003, and 2012.
I still remember seeing the demo on a pcgamer demo disc, back when coconut monkey was still a thing. I remember thinking that the game seemed fun, but probably relied on the matrix mechanic too much. And have wanted to play it, but haven’t been strongly driven to for many years now.
Maybe it’s time.

Don’t stand for it. Be more aware and stop paying for bad behavior.
And stop kids that don’t know any better from getting sucked into it, too.

It would have been good if not for horrible load times, hostile balancing, and a live service slow grind model built to sell in game currency. The soullessness of it is why it was bad.

Just read a little about it.
Dozens of accusations and lawsuits, ranging from 15 years old and up, were filed against him around 2020. He was arrested, but then a judge found Jeremy mentally unfit and now he’s receiving mental care or something in a private residence. Some of the women sued the bar he was meeting people in and they settled out of court.
Sounds like bs to me.

My gpu that I bought in 2021 came with a copy of cod cold war. And EVGA or Nvidia probably paid for that, I just didn’t.

No. What the heck? You can/could have used sticky keys to elevate account access??? What?

I remember figuring out how to make my account an admin account in like Windows 2k through some obscure setting that was still available. We stared with weird flash games in the library, and eventually played unreal tournament.

What level are you talking about here?
Is it technical or management?
And in what field?

What about entry level?
- Comment on Dying Light 3 weeks ago:
Recently discovered The Division 2.
Apparently this game came out before the pandemic and also predicted it. So-so gunplay, great rpg progression so far (I’m level 23/40), and the world is insanely beautiful. I like dungeon crawlers, I like exploring, I like shooting stuff, so this game fits pretty well.
Unfortunately, it has this weird, mouse sensitivity jitter issue that seems pretty tied into framerate for some reason. I dropped my mouse polling rate way down and that helped a ton, but it’s still there for whatever reason.

Originality is scary to the vast majority of people. And because of billionaires, comforting and following pays off in the short term, and most people are selfish, stupid, and irresponsible.

What if usb sticks lasted hundreds of years, were still the same price or cheaper, were faster to read and write, and you could buy games that shipped to you on them, that you could potentially also add patchers onto? Like they would always have the original version on them, but has enough space to periodically add updates on over the years, so that you could revisit them.
And they were made in a shape that wasn’t awkward. And had good label surfaces. Throw them in a drawer or display them in a stack somehow.
And you didn’t have to install the game on your pc, you could just run the drive as is.
This is something we could potentially have in the future, if companies stopped being such short sighted greedy bitches about everything.

PlayStation 1 had only just come to America a month or two prior, and the n64 wouldn’t exist for another year. Basically, it was just arcade games that were popular at that point, some snes games, and some ps1 games in Japan.
Imagine “gaming” being just donkey kong, street fighter, mario, and contra, and a ps1 cost $300 usd.
“Gaming” then was about as popular as virtual reality now.
