There’s nothing in most of these AAA games to truly love. They’re a sea of merely “alright”, and they’re all way too long.

Captures Ubisoft’s philosophy on one sentence. But it’s what makes them money, so they’ll keep doing it.

Exactly. Ubisoft is the perfect example of this. Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, R6. They used to take risks and try to push gaming forward with amazing ideas and design that made my kid brain explode.

Now those IPs are dead or extremely stale. And it’s because releasing an AC with microtransactions makes them more money than making an offline single player Splinter Cell. Or releasing a skin for 20 euros for R6 siege makes them a huge profit for the time invested in creating it.

God I wish we’d get a new single player Splinter Cell. Some of my best memories I have as a kid are playing the original Splinter Cell. Even if we do, it’ll be riddled with microtransactions and will fail to capture the magic of the original games.

I mean this would be insane. Gmail is probably the most used email service in the world, and even though I’m not a Google fanboy, it’s also probably the best.

What are people gonna use? Outlook? Fuck that. I only use that piece of trash because of my job.

I once had to do a take home product design assignment on a real feature for free only to be rejected due to not having enough relevant experience.

Fuck that company, I hope they go under.

I watched We Own This City yesterday. Absolute fucking wild what is happening in that country. Shit you’d expect in Colombia or Kenya.

I’d happily pay for premium as I use YouTube religiously. But it’s Google so fuck them, they already process my information in order to show me ads and profit off of my data. I think that’s payment enough, so I’ll just find any free way possible to watch YouTube without ads.

And, everyones total misunderstanding of the fediverse. Yea, no wonder it’s all tech people here, dumbass

That seems like a lemmy problem. It’s not their fault they aren’t techy, it’s Lemmy’s fault for completely disregarding them.

Yep I have it too. For now it works flawlessly. Hopefully it doesn’t take much from Google’s userbase and they just leave it alone lol.

Ngl I miss the early days with much fewer users. I loved it.

Now it’s a pile of social media trash. I still browse it on my PC cuz I’m weak like that, but I managed to dodge it on my mobile.

They don’t want to be communists and they’re literally doing what the communists in my country used to do

Deserved. Their work gave us hope and a way out of the pandemic.

Sync for Lemmy is pretty good. Closest thing to Relay atm.

For now I’m not gonna move to anything else for Reddit. I’ll use Sync for Lemmy as my daily driver, and I’ll see how it goes.

Relay also stopped working for me today, so here I am for good now, at least on mobile.

I hope reddit sinks to the bottom because of their greed.
