People hate them so much that it became the most lucrative way of monetizing games ever.

They were but not as a 3d model. Someone has to actually make that 3d model and it looks like that person was the guy from the article.

Here are some more:

• Falcon 4.0
• Rainbow Six
• Unreal
• Battlezone
• Gran Turismo

That´s actually insane for one year!

Back then, studios had to actually make new games to make more money. Nowadays, you make one game and then just milk it for a decade.

I´m sure the will be no false strikes at all. And even if, I´m sure they have a quick and easy appeal process in place, just like they have with copyright.

Maybe people mainly search for answers to simple daily life questions or something.

I see what you did there.

What’s aggressive routing? Like more prone to induce road rage?

So it´s a sensible idea for OP to try and reach out to the actual people within the community so that they don´t fall for what the design of the platform wants them to do.

Oh ok, I thought you were talking about the content. Because the original question/post was about the content.

All social media is designed to be addicting. By whom?

I started with World of Warships. I played World of Tanks for a long time but not very successfully. Now I wanted to give Ships a go. I´m at level 5 now, which (as I wasn´t aware before) is where you get thrown into real battles with real people instead of the training wheel matchmaking they have up to level 4. I´m starting to get the hang of it though.

I´n no expert on suicide, so what do I know? However, over at avherald, the people who actually work in that very environment already suspected that it must have been intentional based on the procedures in place that would normally prevent this sort of thing from happening accidentally. And now, the news outlets say that “a medical examination has ruled it a suicide”.

Yeah I picked that up on avherald the other day. Seems that it has been found to be a suicide.

I´m genuienely baffled why the mods of those protesting subs didn´t, at least as a backup plan, also created an alternative community on here right away. Sure, in the beginning, they might have hoped the protests could work. But even after the first two days blackuot, it was pretty clear that Reddit didn´t care at all. So why even fight this fight and not just go “Well, have fun without us Reddit. And here´s a tutorial on how to join us over at lemmy.” EDIT: I know some did. r/piracy I believe were pretty open about packing up and moving to lemmy. And as the days go by, more and more “stuff” I used Reddit for also pops up on some lemmy server or another. Still, an at least fairly organized move would have been nice.

No matter where you look in Media, digital copies have outpaced physical. And it´s not even close! So the step is not really a surprise. Also, some games are already essentially a digital copy, even if “some” game files get delivered on a disc. But the lack of a physical medium is not what sucks about this. It´s the fact that you link the purchase to your own account of whatever store it´s in and that´s it. No lending, selling or gifting once you activated the code. I actually prefer to buy cartridges for the switch because of that very reason.

But with digital downloads being so much more convenient and instantly available, I don´t see how any market forces would ever change this. Also, people pre order digital copies as if they worry the store wouldn´t have enough copies on launch day, which is also quite telling.

When there are no “mild” solutions to the big problems, those who simply ignore the problem get the vote.

We drove climate change to a point where we simply can´t even begin to reign it in without drastic measures. Measures that are expensive, inconvenient, not fun at all. That´s just the reality. Along comes a party that says “You know that big problem because of which the current gov want´s to make all our lives harder in an attempt to solve it? We sure don´t have any better solutions BUT what if we just agree to ignore it for a time?”.
