Welcome to capitalism? The growth cannot stop or we will descend into war
Blasting is okay, so long as no one got slammed. Decorum demands we draw a line somewhere!
Modern media is so savage using such language such as “slammed” “destroyed” etc.
I just want the macOS version of DF Steam. I bought that like two years ago when it came out to support.
All the layoffs were inevitable with the extremely obvious bubble in any computer related jobs. Same as dotcom bubble with a bunch of superfluous hires for superfluous tasks and ridiculous budgets that were not going to pan out. So yes now we’ll have tons of unemployed programmers and art departments from companies overhiring for at least a decade.
I love dwarf fortress, but it easy to throw stones when your company consists of two people.
I know little about the game industry. I saw one person say it’s because of the high interest rates. Games cost so much to produce, they have to borrow most of it and the rates have screwed them.
No idea if thats true.
Giant companies can’t use profit from the last game they made to fund the next one?
The problem is capitalism, in general. But more specifically, it’s the current era of capitalism where line must always go up. Growth must be infinite.
Just as one entertaining example, here in ontario the government sells weed, but at black market prices, and then when they couldn’t sell what they had, they let it sit so long it had to be destroyed rather than simply lowering the price. So, we’re 1. not interfering with the black market, 2. no longer accounting for supply and demand through price adjustment… and there’s no real reason why but pride. People are proud when the cost of the item they produce goes up, enjoy the income, and forget that it works the other way too. Flooding the market with cheap, good shit is considered shitting the bed, so to speak. Pandering twats…
It used to be called collusion, but hey, usury used to be 3%. /shrug

Well under communism you wouldn’t have games or at least nothing like we have today. So I’ll take the capitalist approach. The idea of starving just doesn’t appeal to me.
