Yes. Yes, you fucking are.

You are funding and rewarding a company that's actively dragging the industry toward digital-only while testing how far it can push prices before consumers finally grow a spine.

"I just want to play GTA 6" is not a fucking argument. Nobody cares. We all want games we like. That's how corporations get away with this shit in the first place.

You can absolutely buy the game. But don't sit there pretending your purchase exists in a vacuum while everyone else is trying to fight the exact direction you're financially rewarding.

You chose instant gratification over the bigger picture. Own it.

Play your fucking game.

Just don't expect everyone to pat you on the head for helping normalize the shit we're going to be stuck with later.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology

You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

We need GTA 6 to flop so bad, just as a gamer and customer level. I've gotten 100% plat(Less than 0.05%) for both GTA 5 and 4 and I'm saying this.

I will not be preordering this, I have plenty of other games in my backlog. They can take their "digital future" and shove it.

It’s remarkable that you can say Jurassic Park has “no big themes” when Jeff Goldblum looks directly into the camera and says, “Worship of technology with no limits or ethical restraints will be the ruin of humanity.”

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

more than one hundred years ago a young man named Upton Sinclair, living in a small cabin about two miles from this house, on Rosedale Rd., Princeton, wrote a novel exposing the unspeakably filthy conditions of meat-packing in Chicago, titled "The Jungle." President Teddy Roosevelt read the novel, his stomach (which was considerable) was turned, he called Sinclair to the White House, & soon thereafter laws were passed to regulate (to some degree) the meat-packing industry.
Today we don't have a US president who can read, let alone read an entire novel; we have a US president who has deregulated industries that provide food & medicine for us, to our detriment.

Correct.

Seeing this a lot (not picking on Poncho)

This is a bummer, because Ziegler is rad, but this is not abnormal in game dev. Directors often pass the torch shortly after launch and then move on to a new project.

Things with Marathon are mostly as good or bad as they were yesterday

A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi

[Файн @Perfectly_Fine1]

1) yes, without sarcasm.
2) golf courses at least don't poison water
3) picking the 2023 number for data centers is deranged

Fuck you guys. Stop using developers' games as shields, stop ignoring us, and address the enormous disc fuckup.

This is an instantly impeachable offense. The president abused his office to procure a fraudulent financial settlement. Without precedent in its brazenness and corruption.
