From Horse Armor to Mass Layoffs: The Price of Greed in Gaming. Inside the decades-long war on game workers and the players who defend them.
maybe a real enemy is people who use terms like "the real enemy"
there can be more than 1 bad thing, t's not like a kids show with 1 big bad
Executives seem to often have an obsession with perpetual revenue growth. There is always a finite amount of consumers for a product regardless of growth. Additionally, over investment is another serious issue in gaming.
honestly, the "real" enemy of gaming, is ourselves
if nobody bought horse armor, shitty dlc would have died almost overnight
if we stood firm and nobody bought games from companies that were bad with layoffs, it would be solved
we're the idiots supporting awful business practices, we are the ones enouraging it
Greed and greedy people have and always will be the main issue for everything wrong in the world. Everything is a product to be exploited for monetary gain. Even when there are things that could help progress us along for the sake of making our lives easier that thing must be exploited for monetary gains. Anything that tells you otherwise is propaganda to make you complicit.
I've never thought "DEI" (although the way most people use it doesn't match it's real definition) is the problem with games. Good games have continued to be good when they have a diverse cast, and likewise, bad games have continued to be bad. There isn't a credible example I've seen where a diverse cast has been the direct cause of a game being bad.
Matt Miller: "Every subscription to Game Informer now raises funds for St. Jude. We want you to know what that means."
I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.
Really cool that some of the money goes there.
Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.
Though Unearthed Arcana's content primarily consists of subclasses and spells, WOTC's latest UA drop is set to shake up Dungeons and Dragons' future.
Not since I was a teenager. I can stay up late and watch Netflix as I often do but I really don't like playing games in insomnia mode. I'd rather not be a delusional zombie when gaming.
Unless its a really good game that peaks my interest then yeah I'll stay up late if not I prefer to sleep
Last time I did that was when MW2 came out.
Not as often as I used to, but that's some of the only time I get to game...
Man... playing all night and missing sleep to game, that made me nostalgic and reminds me of CoD MW1 with my best friends. As for me now, not so much due to work and all this adulting requires me to rest well every night. Either way even if wanted to I can't stay up gaming all night these bones and energy ain't what they used to be. But I have used my extra bit of PTO to lock myself in my house while everyone else thinks I am at work, outside of my coworkers while I binge game in the day time which is just as great!
