This explains why Bethesda doesn't make video games anymore - because they've turned into an adult daycare for theatre kids who clearly don't have any desire to do actual work for once in their lives.
All of this is true but the key major barrier is that a game like that has actual real gameplay that you have to learn and engage with, making it impossible for a normie to ever play it. This is why every game now is just use left stick to move and pull trigger to aim
You couldn't make a game like this in 2026, not because of woke but just because the consumer audience is too dopamine-dependant.
Where are the emotes? Where are the Marvel characters? Where are the lootboxes? Why isn't there a metaverse angle here?
Obsidian has already made it publicly known that they DID NOT want to make a Fallout game. Microsoft is pointing a gun to their heads and forcing them to do it.
Imagine if Larian was forced to make BG4. What's the likelihood that game would've turned out great? I have very little faith that NV2 gives players what they want.
video games share the ability comics have to be hyper stylized but instead they choose ugly realism that ends up looking worse than anything live action media has ever produced, how does his MCU suit manage to look better than a video game, even the black leather looked better
Microsoft is laying off 4800 employees today / 1600 Xbox employees impacted

@firkson_1@Eris1294@capnkaba The headline is “Mojang is lazy” saying developers is hyperbolic. Playing semantics like “well actually devs work really hard on side projects” doesn’t change the fact that Mojang as a whole has added lackluster content to the game and people have noticed that and voiced critique
PlayStation CEO on its next-generation plans:
"Rather than simply serving as an alternative to PCs, we aim to deliver value that is unique to PlayStation. This includes not only technological advancements but also an expansion of usage styles, enabling a seamless experience that can be enjoyed naturally beyond the living room."
Sony says it wants to win back PlayStation players who moved to PC by offering more ways to play, rather than seeing PlayStation as something used only in the living room.
The company said that more people now play on personal gaming monitors instead of TVs and is responding with products like monitors, speakers, and the PS Portal.

The best way they can do this is by giving online play for free.
Whites build better stuff and actually maintain it. Blacks can’t develop anything and can’t even maintain the shit we gave them.
It’s only inevitable they try to worm back into white spaces, a tale as old as time. Nothing but parasites
Can someone explain to me like i am 5yo why segregation is/was bad?
We clearly don’t get along….Why do we have to live around eachother?
Instead of more violence, why can’t be just separate?
Legitimate question.
poetry then:
"like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again"
"poetry" now:
"percocet, molly, percocet, panda, panda, panda, fuck bitches, money gang"
obviously the same thing
A bunch of post trying to reason why it’s delayed for PC.
The real answer is because people will buy the game twice if they do this, as they’ve always done.
GTA 6 is delaying PC, because...
Look at the GTA Online revenues below. The gap between console and PC earnings is INSANE.
PC players can easily bypass the Shark Card economy. They can use mods or play in unofficial roleplay servers like FiveM.
But on Playstation and Xbox, you're locked into official servers where the only way up is to grind or pay.
Rockstar is delaying the PC release to protect the launch economy of GTA Online 2.0
They're forcing the entire player base onto consoles for the first 12-18 months, and trapping their biggest whales in a closed ecosystem where microtransactions can't be bypassed. It guarantees them the maximum bag during the peak hype window.
Plus, Rockstar acquired FiveM team back in 2023. The delay buys them time to figure out how to officially monetize the PC modding scene before they open the floodgates.
What percentage of PC gamers do you think will get a console just to play GTA 6 at launch?
