Is that something people were asking for?

I would argue that the axiom “consider the feelings of others” is pretty universal and timeless. Philosopher Simone de Beauvoir coined the imperative “do that which maximizes freedom for others” in 1947. Kant debuted his categorical imperative in 1785. These are not new ideas. You are acting like this is some arbitrary ethic which changes at random, when in reality the ideas of “don’t be a dick” and “make society inclusive” is at minimum, centuries old.

At minimum, everyone always has the out of “I was wrong and now I understand.” It is here that people like Seinfeld and Rowling really fuck it up.

Plenty of people had the courage to call out injustice before it was popular. Mark Twain is a famous counterexample to “everyone was racist in the 1800s.” Being an ignorant sheep is a valid defense for bigotry, but it’s the lowest possible form of defense.

Tbh “eat the rich” has some pretty uncomfortable historical connotations when it comes to Maoist China. I know survivors of the cultural revolution and they definitely don’t find that shit funny.

Porn is illegal in China so they legitimately don’t have the same cultural awareness.

Why would you downvote this person? This is the bravest comment on Lemmy.

I’ve been saying this for like a decade now. The “interactive movie” gaming genre is boring as fuck and I hate that so many AAA games do this.

Even games with a decent amount of depth like RDR2 end up having like 10 minutes of cut scenes per hour.

It’s definitely a factor.

Find me another electronics manufacturer which has put as much effort into eliminating China from its supply chain.

This is getting out of hand. Now there’s two of them

Or it proves that the Helldivers devs knew they had something special and chose to sabotage Sony’s bullshit.

Good old fashioned nepotism. People generally get into executive roles because of who they know, not anything they’ve done. Don’t get me wrong, you need some minimum level of demonstrated competency, but these aren’t rocket scientists we’re talking about. They are people who managed to finish an MBA without shitting themselves and then did time at some excel jockey jobs before shaking hands with the right person.

The reality is that actual good ideas are often threatening to the people currently in charge because it makes them look bad. Thinking outside the box is thumbing your nose at “what we know works.” It’s “rocking the boat” but what that really means is “wait your turn pleb.”

Having seen this play out at a smaller scale before, there is 100% an ego driven calculus at play here, because there are probably 200 different overpaid executives who supported the PSN bait and switch as a “strategic initiative” to “drive platform engagement” for “revenue expansion roadmaps” who would look like they’ve accomplished nothing at all if this was truly dead. It’s not like they can just make a good game which produces stable long term cashflow. That’s so 2012. Now we need “metrics,” and “telemetry,” and “app installs.”

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my career it’s that you will never convince anyone wearing a suit that they are wrong. The best you can hope for is to make them think they came up with an even better idea on their own.

An here I’ve been making single serve coffee in a French press my whole life.

We rob the local CVS and then buy the most expensive bottle of champagne at the local Kroger and then get into a shootout with local police.

It’s too cold here.

Well obviously they had to release it if it was sexier.

That’s pretty on brand though. You can definitely complete the games without really learning much faction lore at all if you want. It’s there for people who want it, but the basic story barely even scratches the surface of you don’t do the extra reading.

Bofa eclipse

Not no but fuck no. I don’t give a shit what other people’s children do on the internet.
