Pet peeves: The return (Part 8)

stuffing them in a cannon and into atmosphere sounds like a good thing to do with it

most of the devs and q&a are being laid off however

Not that I’m happy about what happens to the devs after but also it does give me a little guilty thrill whenever a live service game crashes and burns, in the hopes it drives the money men away from them and more towards less predatory games.

Yeah I expected as much sadly.

Did the thread get nuked

The GD one?

No, its still there. If you meant my other post about the person its in the thread discussing the future of the dalaran market.

Huh, it wouldn’t load for me for a bit. Now it does.

I have no idea what Concord is and why it’s bad and at this point I’m afraid to ask.

Wasn’t the other game with massive dislike… Dustborn or smth, which supposedly got a lot of anti-woke hatred? Was that live service too, and/or was Concord similarly disliked?

Concord is/was a hero shooter live service game with precisely no standout features at all and overall visual design that interested precisely nobody, which wasn’t marketed at all and that nobody really cared for, and then the Mark Kern brigade decided they managed to do that by warning everyone of how it was sweet baby inc dei gaming ruining woke alphabet nonsense evil

It was moved to communities rather than GD

Its like a weird reverse survivorship bias, where they will blame the failure of any game for being because of “the woke”, DEI and whatever else.

When it was basically everything but that.

“It failed because it’s woke!” is often the cry. Even when it isn’t.
Unfortunately it’s often the people collectively malding over the fact that there’s diversity within the media and crudding all over it that drags things down.

Failing games fail because of woke.

But successful games (like WoW and FFXIV) are also woke.

If the woman drowns, she’s a witch. But if she swims, it means the devil is helping her, so she’s also a witch.

So clearly we should just become witches since we’ll be seen like it anyway.

Let’s get brewing potions!

I’ve been mistaken for a witch already, to no one’s surprise. People started spreading nasty rumors about me, saying I kill dogs in the forest for use in Satanic rituals.

Honestly I’m so sorry to hear, that is horrible to treat you or anyone :frowning:

That said, we kiss and pet the dogs in the forests! And treat them very nicely.

It’s fine, there was no abuse or anything involved. Just superstitious people being superstitious.

I assume you’ve already played both KOTORs?

Yup, looking for something new(ish)!

Already went through KOTORs, republic commando, battlefront series, force unleashed… everything before 2014 basically!
