Eating at a restaurant can easily cost as much as a video game, can easily be replaced with delicious food I could make on my own by spending an hour cooking, and as an experience only lasts at most a couple of hours. Compare with a great game - something that could take thousands of hours to create on my own - that only lasts 5 hours and that $60 price tag looks acceptable. On the other hand games go on such extreme sales with high regularity. A little patience will save you a lot of money.
If anything video games are in an unstable value position just like fast food was before the pandemic. If people can be forced to admit this then prices could double.

So in the author’s shoes I’d probably be a little nicer.
If they’re wrong to have shared this then - again - they’re sharing even more with the world than what people normally do. And I appreciate that. Now we have dirt on both parties.

Comment on The end of reading is here in ~books
teaearlgraycold Link ParentThis may be true, but how have you observed this? It could be an interesting story.I've found a lot of people who are off put about thinking any deeper about life and the people around them, they actively search for ways to block that stuff out by consuming cheap, easy media that is nothing but a distraction from their own thoughts.
This may be true, but how have you observed this? It could be an interesting story.

Far too much is held back out of politeness leaving people ignorant.
The blog post amounts to "He's got what he wants, his project is no longer my burden, oh and this bit was a lie". It's the kind of professionalism I think Silicon Valley needs more of. For example, I've met a founder in SF who I'm pretty sure is a sociopath. I heard him say some wild stuff about his employees. I wish I could share that stuff with the world to alert people in advanced, but I don't really have the means.

I’m not a bun rewrite hater - and I suspect those people are mainly insecure and afraid of change - but I do think you should anchor the project in some of the old ways just to gain and share confidence.

Meccha Chameleon! Most of the console games I hear about and try are way too AAA (stuff like God of War - it’s like trying to watch House of the Dragon). The money’s all in the polished execution, less so a scrappy team with a crazy idea taken in a bold new direction. Naughty Dog is an exception. Loved the latest Uncharted and TLoU 1.
I’d rather spend an hour getting DayZ to launch than an hour getting railroaded by some mediocre narrative.

You can absolutely nail the execution but they just can’t keep repeating the same game design. It would be an expensive and late DLC.
There must be other ways to shake things up. But designing the game from the ground up to handle single player or small parties is doable. I would be more than happy if the co op implementation has good net code and so so gameplay adjustment for the extra players.
We don’t need particularly fancy servers. Just NAT punching gateways.

The story stops being yours. It fundamentally changes what the game is and is significantly harder to make.

I purchase a lot of games specifically to have fun with friends. Me and some buddies all met up to play Meccha Chameleon a few times in the last week and had a blast. Granted that’s only $6.
