Flashbacks to the Diablo 3 launch, when Demon Hunters could become literally invulnerable forever with the right build and skill rotation.
Damn, that’s topical today.
I mean, if you honestly believe the only reason to get married (whether your a man or a woman) is for the sex, then I fully support your decision to avoid it.
Amazing how much easier it is to motivate yourself when you have the ability to make significant decisions on the fly, based on the immediate feedback you receive from the system, instead of spending half your time hitting your head against a wall attempting to sus out self-contradictory instructions given by people who don’t actually understand how any of it really works.
Started with Gen X, which is why the baby boomers retiring is creating such a desperate demographic crisis. Nobody wants to buy into such an obviously corrupt system, which has rewarded every consecutive generation with less and less compensation despite the abundantly obvious massive advances in productivity. People are realizing that most of their work is not at all about generating value, but instead is all about occupying their time and energy in an apparent attempt to reduce competition.
Far too many game studios came to view themselves as either a money printer or a political advocacy group first, and a game publisher only as a distant second, as a means to that end. Predictably, people have been losing interest in AAA gaming. Turns out that, whatever you want to say about the content of a game, creating a GOOD game that people genuinely enjoy playing is indeed an art, and a game planed and directed by a marketing research department has all the artistic appeal of a commercial.
Oh no. There is a legion of lazy indie “developers” who see AI as a cheap and easy way to avoid the difficult creative aspect of pushing out whatever half-baked idea floats between their ears. Good indie games created by talented developers let go from AAA studios will certainly exist, but it’s going to be even harder to find them under the massive crush of shovelware than it already is.
