Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It’s legit baffling.
Forgetting piracy and multiplayer was the greatest disaster for gamerkind
Somehow ppl are defending the new OW2 news including the battle pass saying you can still earn skins for free and like… I had 50 hours in OW1 (I found it pretty boring and basically a Disney meme game) and I had LEGITIMATELY 30+ legendary skins from loot boxes because they handed them out like candy.
Doesn’t help that the devteam are out on twitter doing “wah wah wah everything in this industry is pain the only thing that matters is what you ship” sympathy tours.
the only thing that matters is what you ship
Isn’t that every industry? If I pay for a chair and you send me a broken TV from the landfill I don’t really care what series of events led to you doing that lol
Audiophiles.
Analog audiophiles are literally just the same kind of people who judge the taste of wine by the price tag.
“I can hear the difference!” They keep saying despite falling for a dozen different “analog only” vinyl companies that use digital somewhere cause its literally just objectively more efficient and indistinguishable.
They recently sued one of these companies who invented a process that makes less vinyls for more money, but has less in-between steps between master and finished vinyl. Then it turned out they actually made a digital recording of the master tapes because otherwise they were gonna start harming them due to fucking with them all the time.
But no, this ruined their value, both due to using digital and cause it meant that the supply wasn’t going to be limited by the tapes disintegrating eventually.
If whatever crypto people have been for the last few years count as consumers, I nominate them.
What happened this time I was shoving people in lockers for supporting pay2win shit in CoD so I haven’t been watching the ethical gaming journalism
Blizz announced OW2 PvE is completely cancelled. 5 years ago they announced OW1 development would cease do they could focus on PvE and now gamers will see nothing from it. There are still people defending Blizz somehow

That’s fucking glorious. Overwatch really was something special and somehow blizzard is incompetent enough to have completely killed it.
God imagine how good Overwatch mechanics would go with Left 4 Dead -style campaigns. Since balance doesn’t matter as much in PvE they could go hog wild with character abilities and make something truly special, but alas that wouldn’t print money the way endless skins for PvP does.
It really sucks that the entertainment that is like the last possible escape from the hellworld for a lot of people is just the shittiest fucking psychological manipulation and gambling mechanics and bullshit now. Every couple of weeks my ability ignore all the abusive and dehumanizing mechanisms in modern games and I just end up staring at the machine for a few hours in a sort of vague disjointed state of dissociative terror.
Yes.
