      All they see is numbers. Destiny 2 makes HOW MUCH money? Let’s do that

      I think Fortnite poisoned the market because of its live service success. Instead of making most of the money at launch they can now bleed whales dry by introducing a battle pass + skins + DLC.

      It seems like the kind of game you watch 20 minute YouTube video about and you know everything you need to know about it

        I haven’t even watched 20 minutes about it and already know about as much as I want to know about it.

        I’m getting the vibe that it’s been developed with full knowledge that it’s going to be a commercial flop, and they’re just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they’re just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

    An efficient wallet siphon. It’ll only want a few minutes a day! That’s totally not habituation as a mechanic for addiction!

      Did you also watch Tom’s latest video? Only the first half or so is about vaping before it goes into bigger context. https://youtu.be/XuTQbOo3Y30?si=M2CqXlX6tiGmAkJ4

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        Nah, I’ve been pissed about this for maybe five straight years. If any video was a tipping point it was surely Dan Olsen’s Manufactured Discontent.

    Yeah the part where they kill Batman was leaked online months a go and that’s the only part of the game people are curious about.

    Don’t worry devs, by not buying the game I know you won’t waste my time. If I need a batman fix I’ll visit Arkham city.
