Human nature. Voting with ones wallet will never work as long as advertising, as we know it, exists. We can't really blame the average person to do what an average person does.

Its a good and direct word. I could guess what it meant before I even heard his definition of the word: Things that are willingly made shittier.

"Un-userfriendli-fication" would never catch on.

If you haven't, and you enjoy scifi/cyberpunk fiction, you should read Cory's book "Radicalized". Four short stories, all of them damn relevant to today.

The first story, "Unauthorized bread", is my fav. Hackers versus the coldness of corpos and shitty landlords.

Yeah, the 2016 seems to not exist anymore, if thats the one you talk about. A huge miss that one. Though I wish they'd kept the one interesting character.

The current previous one, Afterlife, from 2021, was great. And obviously not retconned.

And this new one seems to play a bit too much on getting the original team back together for nostalgia, and too little focus on the new team of kids. But thats just the trailer, I'll withold judgements until I've seen it.

Nah, a charlatan has class. Musk doesn't.

What kinda multiplayer do you think they'll add? DM or TDM? BR or some kind of other looter shooter? Coop missions? Coop campaign?

I always want more like what Watch Dogs 2 did: Random invasion of people creating a bit of chaos, life, and unpredictibility in my singleplayer campaign. But seems thats soo much work and so little popular that Watch Dogs dropped it for their 3rd game. What made those multiplayers unique, and they just dropped it just like that for a under-developed coop missions with battlepasses.

They probably did, and it did nothing, as in most monster/alien movies. Then the MiB showed up, sent it back up, and mind wiped everyone involved.

Don't you give me that sarcastic Vulcan salute!

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Cool! Stuff like that wasn't around when I played it last.

Best starship builder ever, imho! But not much to do but mine and build, if one doesnt play multiplayer. Got tired of it eventually.

Yeah. But the part about average steam voter being easily impressed wasnt sarcasm.
