Let’s replace one proprietary service with another. It looks so good with its API wide open, like it’s never getting enshittified.

Nostalgia edition is a sure sign it’s bleeding players and they obviously have no idea how to replicate that success with fresh gameplay under a fresh name. It would be of immense help for Epic if their store took off (it even has cart now), but they destroyed a lot more goodwill with exclusives than they got with freebies. I hate-claimed 300+ games for free, never install anything from there and still wouldn’t pay for an exclusive. Even if I didn’t hate EGS I would never buy a game unless it’s been out for a few years and is deeply discounted. Good luck, Epic, you’ll need it, you overextended yourself and it’s downhill from here.

Technically very good, looks like a good use of engine and art direction. However, as an extraction shooter that requires slow and tactical gameplay, it has an uphill battle to make people stick around and it better offer a huge pool of game-changing loot or it will have 30k max daily players. Also, the robot enemies don’t look like something you’d want to shoot at for a 100 hours, Helldivers 2 has two (about to become three) completely distinct enemy factions, one with blood and guts and the environments change all the time.

How many people have flypaper’d themselves to that shit, I haven’t seen any numbers

Can’t believe Nine Sols got robbed

Quality as well. Ass vikings had audio mastering that’s outrageously bad for a title made with so much money and the omnipresent vaseline smear of TAA in the recent titles hasn’t done their art direction any favors.

It’s all insultingly preachy and puerile, apart from taking me right out of the setting. GTA didn’t make me a serial killer, this whiny shit won’t make anyone a decent person.

To quote Homestar Runner, like a flaming sack of crap

Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.

The stories have also gone downhill to accomodate new bastard genres with fomo shit

Provided as feedback: celebrity drama is not games, plz piss off with this kind of content.

I agree. We are in the honeymoon phase about to face varying degrees of eternal september and besides someone still pays for bandwidth and domains and who says it won’t be enshittified once it gains traction. This is clearly not a new paradigm.

Good, we need a forward escape from the accursed social media into a new paradigm. Anything eroding that tower of shit is welcome.

Randy bought it, it’s his property now. I understand hopoo needed money, but they should have made some provisions for extreme idiots attempting enshittification or inept fixes. Their legacy is getting bumfucked a bit, RoR2 is a travesty now.

I agree with you on everything, other than

I legitimately want to scream sometimes as I feel the continual death of local computing and actual software

…it seems to me that it’s never been better, there’s free software for everything, osm data for mapping, it’s just that our expectations have shifted.

Fuck you, Mozilla. I’ll turn off any option you expose and run away to Librewolf or Fennec as soon as you cross the line. And the line is ublock origin, make no mistake about that. Here’s a tip: Raymond Hill is the most valuable asset Mozilla has and, here’s the kicker – YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE HIM.

Disney’s milking made the licence really unappealing and Ubisoft’s open worlds were unappealing even back when they had some quality control and graphics had to look good. Now it’s just smear this unplausible cutesy mammal sidekick with some temporal antialiasing and also no one on our team knows how to make enemies exhibit any behavior. Fucking die, Ubisoft. I told you in 2012. when you made uplay it would end like this.
