@VartioArtel@AaronGreyUnger@RickKackis You can say his take is "uneducated" all you want, but he's talking numbers.
You're talking feelings.
And we agree with the sentiment, I played this game for 10 yrs, D3 would've been great to have been in development 5 years ago.
But this spike is manufactured,
Not sustainable.
@AaronGreyUnger@RickKackis I agree. Had they announced that it would be the last update AFTER the fact, no charts would be broken. No numbers would be inflated. Many wouldn't even be aware. A cancellation is very big news, and many are logging in to pay respects and say goodbye, the numbers will go down.
@RickKackis@AaronGreyUnger Nono, quote it correctly. You all don't get to bring hyper awareness about the game's problems over the years only to feign ignorance now that you see a lifeline. I know you care about the game, but the reality is that years of mismanagement and poor optics is what led us here.
@Unsniffed@Daniel_Wylde_@DSR_Joker If this was any other studio with their practices, model, turnaround, finances, and their results, it would be unacceptable. They get a pass cuz they made Halo 25 years ago, which they fumbled? A pass for D1-2, which they fumbled? Track record matters, and the record ain't clean.
@Unsniffed@Daniel_Wylde_@DSR_Joker What then?
Sony will have 2 carcasses alongside Marathon, which also would be collateral for more development power on D3, and a grave open for D3?
Doomerism? I mean yeah, Bungie didn't end up with a shut down IP cuz they did so good.
Bungie gets a lot of leeway for its name -
@Unsniffed@Daniel_Wylde_@DSR_Joker The way I see it, Sony probably thinks that the optics and sentiment is currently high about D3, so let's say they agree.
What then?
Funding a project that will take years to build, so that the Devs get 1-2 years of goodwill until people get tired of the same issues and drop it?
@Unsniffed@Daniel_Wylde_@DSR_Joker Full honesty, I don't believe people really want D3. They want the idea of a successful follow up to D2, while dissociating that the same poor choices and mistakes that plagued D2 repeatedly over the years will be dragged along to a new product. Demonstrably repeatable ones.
@Tokudjinn@HTEichTee@DestinyBulletn Good luck with the new light experience that they massively under delivered on. The removal of paid content that served as a good introduction to the game will always be a constant reminder that Bungie didn't care about new players, and Marathon showed that it was for the money.
The US elected a reckless guy who did a reckless and unlawful thing, and Venezuela needed something to happen as well because the Venezuelan people have been suffering for 27 years. Both things can be true right now. It happened, now let's deal with it peacefully is all we ask.
Call and recognize Maduro as a president? No, and the part of the population that does like him is the complacent minority that has been okay living in misery because they would sometimes get a box of food delivered by the government for free.
He's a dictator. Use the word.
Don't dismiss the reasons why Venezuelans can be happy, there's a lot of emotions right now and it's hard for us because it's so uncertain, but for the love of God, understand that 2 things can be true at the same time
The streets, while Maduro went on national TV broadcasts that would take over normal programming and danced while we ate from garbage, and had no medicine, no hope anymore. Was it illegal? Yes, did it end the dictatorship? No, was it symbolic or significant? Yes, Do we-
Recognition of legitimate election on 2024, for food and supplies that got burned by the military at the border, that later Maduro LAUGHED about. We asked for help, and nobody helped us when we had tried, and died, and tried again, and people were imprisoned, and taken off-
@TheView Listen, I appreciate the visibility that these conversations are bringing to this issue, but we have to be careful on how we talk about Venezuela without a Venezuelan in the room. Not saying you can't, but be careful of not misrepresenting. 🧵
Sunny Hostin: Girl we tried. I was out on the streets as a little kid cuz my parents brought me to protests. I protested as a teenager, and I protested as a young adult before my dad got beat up and we had to run. We asked the international community for
@PokeHEX5555@spencecoin It doesn't matter, your post is false information cuz you're stating a fact that's incorrect, and you've been proven wrong and are still arguing against it.
Correlation is not causation.
Your dumb post can cause a panic and accelerate scalpers getting product cuz "no reprints"
