Shame Ubisoft doesn’t feel this obligation to gamers. If they did, we’d probably only have 4 assassin’s Creed games

Doesn’t explain single player games.

Churn is inevitable with any subscription service.

The trick is creating just enough value and exclusive content/services that you feel like you’re gonna miss out if you leave. But not too much.

I haven’t seen any incentive to stay with any specific game subscription service via exclusive content or services. But I do see plenty of attempts to lock people into services with shitty tactics. Like forcing save data to the cloud. Good luck moving that saved file to your own personal copy of the game. Or multiple tiered service options with features/games locked behind more expensive options.

It’s all manipulative and anti consumer.

Sims 4 released in 2014. They had plenty of time to address bugs in-between the millions of stupid updates, but they didn’t bother. Who honestly expects any real work from these guys at this point?

What’s healthy for the business long term isn’t healthy for the customer. Remember that.

Carnival night zone act 2.

Yeah, the more I saw this game and the more I learned about the story as it went on, the less interested I became. That was pretty much the only thing that was still keeping me interested, but it really looks like the story also falls flat.

Well, fuck.

Tl:Dr Xbox fanboy hates Nintendo because people have fun with their games and that makes him ANGRY! 😤

You can play it now. They even offer a free weekend every now and then. I tried it a few years back but never got very far into it…

Who knows, the game might release by 2030 at this rate.

This sort of talk always makes me think back to Metal Gear Solid 2. I guess as long as their recommendation isn’t a different AI to curate, censor, and ‘provide context’ to the information coming in. We don’t want a ‘GW’ situation on our hands, shaping the world into a war economy for maximum profit… Or do we?

This is payola in the modern age. If a record company gives enough money to Spotify, they’ll promote the hell out of it and guarantee it’s a hit. So the record labels with the most money are the only ones that can make serious money.

Does Spotify disclose that this is paid promotional content in the app?

My brother accidentally hit premium a few years ago and the free option is just gone for good for him. It’s such bull shit. I’ve never paid with turbo tax and was convinced he was doing something wrong. Nope, it’s literally not available anymore for him.

Starts out a little slow for my modern tastes, but I’ve been enjoying the game. Glad I picked it up. But I previously picked up The Messenger so I planned to pick up their next game for sure.

I know that’s what the work training video tells you, but that is what the businesses want you to think.

Is this Perry Bible Fellowship? It feels like a Perry Bible Fellowship comic.

I got a 3080 and I would never want to use DLSS 3 anyways. Keep that stupid ass fake frame generation away. I can put up with upscaling since it’s at least a true rendered frame, but that’s pretty much where I draw the line. Fake frames might make it feel smooth, but I’m not into this hobby for the feels.

Climate change rains on rich people’s parade.

They don’t own the cars, they don’t hire employees. We’d be left with an app? Some servers? We don’t need that stuff to run a decent public transportation service.

Money is made up and value is whatever we make it.
