under communism, there will not be “yearly pokemon games” - there will be one pokemon game per console generation, which will fall in line with the implementation of the nintendo seven year plan.

this single pokemon game will receive a yearly free expansion-sized update which will contain some combination of new regions, 100+ new pokemon and/or new mechanics per update, and quarterly free patches/QOL updates

I doubt it. Using the analogy of the East-German car, the Trabant, the game will have a very low price by mandate, which isn’t able to cover the costs of development, which, in combination with very little allocation of further funds, will lead to an absolute crawl in terms of development.

If you want to experience your dream update cycle, play No Man’s Sky, they have been releasing free content for years now. Java Minecraft is also consistently releasing new updates for free.

The material conditions of East Germany are definitely applicable to an imaginative world were global communism is achieved and people still want play new pokemon games because communism bad or something.

East and West Germany is the closest we’ve ever come to being able to directly compare “communist” and “capitalist” dogmas. With everything that is already going wrong with government-led initiatives, it’s ludicrous to assume that a completely government-controlled society would have alot going for it.

This jokester thinks you need to pay people to motivate them to make a pokemon game

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is pretty much what they’re describing and it gets multiple updates a day. People don’t need to be paid to make cool things they like if the materials are purely intellectual. The internet used to be populated by lots of open source applications like that.

This is a joke post, and there are lots of jokes here, but we are legitimately communists.

Yes, it’s satire. We’re actually all Coromon fans here.

We’re actually all 4chan users who’ve all been roleplaying as queer communists for years and reading and talking about communist theory and stamping down on racism, queerphobia and ableism all as part of an extended bit, it’s pretty funny ngl, liberals keep thinking we’re actual communists instead of just right channers who’ve spent years learning about socialism so we can be extra well trained to try and start random drama

The world gen is way better. It’s shocking how much better it is, they did a really good job. The caves are more interesting, the biomes blend better, mountains are taller and more impressive. The old gen is still nostalgic, obviously, but I’d much rather play with the new worlds.

There’s a bunch of new blocks that are nice, including some redstone stuff. There’s some new mobs, and lots of small things I’m forgetting. Honestly, on the whole, it’s been a good few updates.

It’s not official, but the new horizons mod is insane. Literally hundreds of chunks of render distance, with very low/no performance hit compared to vanilla. It’s incredible.

Honestly for me it’s still nothing compared to Beta 1.7.3
