Random dude with questionable gamedev experience and an ugly face.

Came back to Twitter, I'm sorry, X, after few years of inactivity. Got shadowbanned almost instantly, all of my replies got hidden, not even spam flagged. Grok confirmed that burst in activity can get your replies flagged.
Is this really the experience of every returning user?

@VyniGives PC is an open platform. You have some healthy competition there. You are not locked into one launcher. There are huge discounts on Steam, like 90%, I got Witcher 3 for a buck. You've got platforms like GOG, which let you download DRM-free installers and own your digital media.

@DoesItPlay1 They can see that their original posts get blasted to bits, so they're tying to adapt. Smart. But pointless.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@SpitefulBanette @GiveMeBanHammer I do. I expect a game dev company to have a CEO, FCO and board members to be video game enthusiasts. Why now? This WILL impact the quality of the game, their decissions are crucial for the studio's direction.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@Grummz Which AAA studi had that "Ethics Department"? They are just completely blind. Sandfall could deliver AAA quality game, Game Science as well. They are way too comfortable, just eating up the budgets. We need small or medium developer teams that are focused on creating good games.

@TungingSahur @KynneloVyskenon @ChibiReviews "DRM software like Denuvo can now be bypassed within hours or days of a game's release". A year? Max a week. All the crack teams will be hard at work to crack GTA6's PC release.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@ChibiReviews There's no way it fails. It will set a precedent.
Other companies will follow.
They will fail.
It will cause the great reset.
Indies win in the end.

@factualmann I am. On all of my machines. It's got support until the end of 2027, so why switch to an objectively inferior successor.
When the support ends, I'm going Linux. Nobara most likely.

@Pirat_Nation I once tried to go through AI agent on a call to my bank.
It took me 20 minutes until a real person was on the other side.
Imagine, you got stabbed, and you're bleeding out, having trouble breathing and speaking.
Or you have to speak in a code, cause you're in hostage situation.

@AlanRMacLeod Slavery.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@madcap412 Wait, Saros even released? I completely forgot about that one.
These games are produced by corporate greed, theater kids, activists, indoctrinated devs and people who hate games.
Games of old were created by hardcore gamers very critical of their work.
I'm not surprised.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@9000martin9000 AI will introduce so much slop into the system it will choke.
Indies are the new "Better Games" cause the restrictions still stand.
AAA needs to crash and burn. We need a reset.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@RagerrrYT Nintendo got humiliated by a bunch of newbie devs, who just made a Pokemon game they wanted.
Maybe Nintendo will pull it's shit together and make a GOOD Pokemon game now. Cause this franchise was shit for a long time.
Doesn't matter if Nintendo wins the battle. Pals won the war.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@BASEDPLAYER0 Yes, you are absolutely correct. It pains to see them ruin the good old franchises. But, we still have the old games, I'm replaying Mass Effect Trilogy right now.
And they will suffer cause verything has concequences. The new shit games don't sell that well and the East dominates

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@Pirat_Nation After contemplating this for a moment, I know why - Greed, and I know how - Incompetence.
What a bunch of greedy idiots.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@Pirat_Nation And yet, they removed the 32GB recommended RAM for Windows 11 from the docs...
What are they doing? Why? How? I don't even...

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@dizziedee 40 here.
I'm finishing Mass Effect 3 now.
Tried Daggerfall some time ago, that was a journey :D
Morrowind is on the chopping block next.
I miss the old games, where the tutorials were scarse and you actualy had to play to learn how to play. No markers, no handholding. Just game.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@IGN Of course he did.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@TheXboxLove @IGN Put GOG on the green list!

[GOG.COM @GOGcom]

Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.

You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.

[Jeff the Mediocre Game Dev @enzyme_z]

@madcap412 I'll be real, it doesn't even matter. It's minority. Even people who care about physical media, participate in shitting on Sony, have pre-purchased GTA6.
It's gonna be the biggest release ever.
What's gonna happen later tho, that's a mystery.
I don't even own PS5, so fuck GTA6.
