I mean, all they’d have to do is treat their workers with more respect and maintain realistic expectations for features with that in mind. 2077 was a fucking disaster because they were on crunch almost the whole time and leadership kept adding in features mid development.

Cheaper to hire contract workers instead of salaried or full-time because standardization means that the skills and training are largely transferable between projects. Besides that, many of these companies have an incentive to promote gaming projects that are financially exclusionary as they seek to further restrict access to computing as a service.

Hope to god it isn’t some fucking raytracing, UE5 slop. The lighting in the original was so effective and ran beautifully.

Jesus Christ, it is seriously like you lack object permanence specifically for what your words mean. OK lib.

Y’all get pissed any time that your words or actions demonstrate your values unintentionally. I guess just shut the fuck up about these things and have fun with what you have chosen:

“I won’t change how I think until someone promises to be my mommy and fix things for me” is very liberal.

The reality is you know the problem, but you don’t want a solution. Private property, extractivist relationships with land and people, and hierarchal organizing are all fundamental elements in this system, and people like you hate it because you don’t benefit from it, not because it is harmful.

You want a handbook? There’s dozens of’em written by socialists and anarchists who use direct action and mutual aid to produce some kind of fundamental change in people’s subscription to this system. Why haven’t you tried that yet? Why would your concern be so shallow? Is there maybe, something you benefit from that you do not want to discard? Maybe some…privilege?

Sorry that you are responsible for how you think and liberals have not so far achieved full control of public spaces to the point that their ideas go unchallenged.

Stfu about it if you don’t care to learn how to change it, including the specificities of how language shapes your own understanding. Making it about “greed” distorts the reality of why this has happened and portrays our current conditions as the result of natural human immorality and not like, a very specific set of events over the past five centuries and the system that emerged from them.

Love it when I have libs mansplain shit.

Hey bud, you ever think about why you believe the conditions we live under are natural and inevitable? I wonder who it benefits to think that way and whether you have arrived at this understanding through passive exposure to some kind of contrived network of institutions that both produce and distribute knowledge and whether those institutions are subject to like, some kind of hierarchy of power. If that was the case, I wonder how that power is achieved and maintained… Perchance, is there some fundamental element from which the entirety of that…system…is orgnnized around…I wonder if anyone else has thought about this ever.

The smugness on you motherfuckers who pretend to want change but clearly have not taken the time to learn about what the fuck you’re even talking about. Vibe-critiques from y’all.

Maybe a system where greed is less relevant than like, how resources are understood and distributed? There’s no exceptional level of “greed” that makes this system stop working, it has never worked to the benefit of the overwhelming majority of people.

Right, so maybe there’s something more than just “greedy bastards” that’d need to go.

Just the greedy bastards?
