I call it The Price of Love.

I just realised that we are more worried about mortality of our loved ones than our own.

Running in circles in an open field is a worthwhile aspiration. We should all aspire to it, IMO.

The sign cannot stop the cat, because he can’t read.

First it was blockchain and NFTs. Now it is AI. It is almost like these execs are full of shit.

Testing? Nah, it’s for tasting.

Yeah, I am skeptical. What would be the energy expenditure of actually storing CO2 into those blocks and what about transporting them? I have a feeling this is like carbon capture plants, great for the headlines, but not really a practical solution.

I am disappointed that I exist.

Not by much, but I sure am excited about AAAAA games.

Don’t worry Geoff, when it comes to AAA games, my expectations are already at rock-bottom. I expect almost every single AAA game to have some kind of catch be it microtransactions, or live service, or some shitty launcher requirement, etc.

I was saving up to buy PS5 for a long time too. But, when I couldn’t buy one, I just bought PS4 for half price and then, since Sony releases it’s games on PC anyway, I am not going to buy PS5. I have no need for that.

Maybe check for errors before posting it?

I am a backend dev, but this shit is why I have utmost respect for frontend devs, also because they know how to center a div.

These execs are the biggest costs these businesses have to incur. Maybe, do the industry a favour and fire yourself.

Man, growing up I rarely had hobbies. Just study or nothing. Even then, I remember being scared of my mom if I slipped even just a little. That translated to the fact that now, if I get rejected from a job, I feel like worthless garbage. I am unemployed for last 10 months or so and the toll is high.

I really wish my mom was supportive of me, but well that’s the past, I guess.

Aww sooo cuuuute.

No one going to miss these publishers. They think by hoarding franchises , but firing devs who actually made these franchises great, they could ride the coattails to success. But, they need to learn the lesson that franchises only matter as long as people care about them and people only care about as long as the games are actually good. By killing studios and firing devs, you lose the ability to make great games and then, your hoarded franchises fade into irrelevance.

They all tried to do live service games and when it all fell apart, the ones who made the decisions cut loose the devs. It is really that simple. Execs were simply too optimistic about their chances of success and when their own decisions threatened their bonuses, they put someone else on the chopping block.

So, broken and buggy game with battle-pass and a perfectly functioning store from day one? Of course, a promise to fix the game with a roadmap within a week of launch. Yeah, a tremendous live service indeed.

The guy at the lever represents the oil execs and we all know they would rather kill people than sacrifice money.
