I'm seeing people have aneurysms in the comments and reposts. Good Lord y'all are so easily triggered.

Sure, i'm not a fan of AI slop, but y'all have to take a step back here. I'll be 36 next month, a gamer for30 of those years. NEVER in my life have I EVER seen a community make so much noise about their favorite game that the WHITE HOUSE noticed and acknowledged it.

"my culture is not a costume". Dude, it's fucking video game. they're pixels on a screen. if you have to latch on to something make believe that much to fill a void in your life, that's your problem to work out.

Dating a girl you really like won’t work, you’re going to get in your head, fuck it up, and be cringe.

Gotta go for the ones you dislike a little, that way your confidence and thus, performance, will be sky high.

For every he/him she/her and he/they that loses a job in this industry, western gaming takes one step closer to healing.

The pronoun cultists and equity beneficiaries are among the worst things to ever happen to video games.

"Guys we shouldn't celebrate the death of Bungie! The layoffs are sad!"

Bungie died years ago, and the people currently being laid off are the ones who killed it. You should've mourned then, not now.

There are also people *not* being laid off who are responsible for its death, its downfall is not solely on developers: the rot runs all the way to the top (as it normally does). But we have to start somewhere.

Think of Bungie like a cancer, and the layoffs like chemo. It'll be a long and painful process, but the gaming industry will probably be better for it.

I don't even have a dog in the data center fight and the anti-data center people are pushing me towards data centers being unequivocally good because these people are so utterly droolingly retarded that whatever they oppose must be good for the world

[John Gibson @RammJaeger]

Possibly the best example yet of #GoWokeGoBroke I hired people from Bungie previously that were pushed out because they were conservative/center right folks that weren’t crazy left wing enough for Bungie leadership. Push out your talent with woke ideals this happens 10/10 times .

How could this have happened? They hired so many women.

DEI and the Rainbow mafia killed Bungie. Make no mistake.

I was at capture events where they went out of their way to make sure we as creators all knew that the new character was of Arab decent and how important it was to have representation.

SO BRAVE!

I feel so bad for the Marathonbros because there's just no possible hope for this game.

Normies hate it because it became part of the Concordian prophecy, and D2 players hate it because it stole resources from their favorite game.

It failed to capture a wider audience because Sunsetting gave Bungie the reputation of toxic nuclear waste, and it failed to capture a larger niche audience because it wasn't hardcore enough for the typical extraction shooter crowd.

Various mishandlings also made the early hardcore meta awful to play, and level-based matchmaking put streamers against stream snipers and cheaters constantly. Both of these misfortunes contributed significant damage to its social media presence and reputation as a "bad game."

All of this sucks because Marathon is objectively a well produced game: Its style is amazing (if polarizing), it's not overly monetized or anti-player, and its bones are very solid. The potential for greatness in this game is most certainly not nonexistent.

Marathon deserved better, yet I do not envy the team trying to turn this mishap into a miracle.

The left won.

The world's richest man is an electric vehicle manufacturer who is decarbonising the atmosphere while helping quadriplegics, restoring space travel, and making the internet and freedom of speech widely available across the globe.

Unfortunately most of the people who identified as "left" were simply pathological grief merchants with oppositional defiance disorder. They build nothing. They stand for nothing.
