@mountainweekly @rustybrick @ichbinGisele @lilyraynyc Eh, there's a lot I don't understand/know. That document was aimed at giving data and information in the hopes of change.

Watching great outlets close/be purchased by companies that pivot to AI slop, has been depressing.

I just focus on good UX/content and hope for the best.

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

@mountainweekly @rustybrick F it, here's what I sent them (26 pages). It's old enough now I don't care about the stats.

Before people inevitably reach out - I don't need consulting.

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

If there's any freelancers out there that already have Crimson Desert, and want to do guides and/or interactive maps...

Hit me up.

Looking to cover this one, but we didn't get a key :(

AI is all the rage in the industry, with the Larian Studios CEO's latest comments setting off a backlash—but The Astronauts' CEO thinks it's more complicated than that. https://t.co/IcTh3Vk1eK

I wanna build cool features people will use, but I may be looking at the wrong ideas right now!

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

Question for Games Media

What features would you need, to want to leverage a platform like @criticdb for your personal/professional:

User Reviews
Annual Lists / Favorite Games
Outlet / Peer Follows (Reviews, maybe more later?)
Other ideas you may have!

100% free?

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

@viberank @CriticDB The aggregate score already exists for every game, based on Outlet Scores.

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

CriticDB (@CriticDB) continues to grow in daily users, and we just launched a major optimization pass for:
📈 XP System
📋Game Lists
✍️User Reviews
👤User Profiles
🎮Outlet (and User) follows

Accounts are 100% free for every feature above!

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

We're cooking up some new/improved features!

Open to feedback, and things we can implement that would make you want to come back daily :)

[CriticDB @CriticDB]

Continuing to make improvements!

We're fighting some issues with our scrapers being blocked by CloudFlare - going to be working on getting our scraper verified in coming weeks.

XP System, Improved Review Notifications, and PR Dashboards in progress!

[TechRaptor @TechRaptor]

Site is down, while we make some upgrades!

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

We'll have an API ready for CriticDB this month, it's looking like.

We'll make our data fully available, such as:

🔷 Game Title + Image(s)
🔷 Related Games
🔷 Developer/Publisher/Release Date/Genre
🔷 CriticDB Rating

Depending on project, all we ask for, is attribution!

[CriticDB @CriticDB]

Two new features are live:
- Check @greenmangaming.com prices on game pages!
- See up to 21 review scores all at once by hovering over the game's image!

Tales of the Shire has several high points, but it has its faults that severely drag it down. Read our review to find out more. https://t.co/8CFeUdJ2Wp

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

"Google Trends API Launches, spurring a new era of AI-Powered SEO Spam"

Fixed the headline for ya.

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

Our focus continues to be on ways for people to discover and follow outlets. This is just the first of many features that will get integrated into feeds!

[CriticDB @CriticDB]

Want to keep up with reviews from your favorite outlets? Our Outlet Feed and Notifications features make that easy!

100% free to use, limited to 10 follows with plans to expand!

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

We're putting a lot into this platform, give it love :)

@ShawnRazor @tinyBuild oh my god, yes. Bought.

[Rutledge Daugette @TheRealRutledge]

Been on a major roguelike kick this year (Drop Duchy, 9 Kings, Tower Factory, more) and "The King is Watching" from @tinyBuild looks like another one to scratch the itch.
