The only thing I hope is that she won't win Miss Universe for the sole reason that she was courageous enough to participate as a transgender woman.

Might as well distribute "Participation Trophy" to everyone then.

I'm with you on this. We've got the interesting people. The BS ones are too lazy. It's too much work for them to come here and shit on everyone (for now).

Yeah, Divinity was great on consoles. Played it with my girlfriend and we had great fun.

You make some points here. I don't advocate 100% for Microsoft, I just thought it might do some good to Activision.

Some truth here. Game dev is almost alway a shitty work environment. Creative work has been hard to find unless going into indie.

What do you mean ?

I hope you are using a PC running Linux to say that.

You do know that the people running Activision aren't the ones developping the game ? Microsoft won't be doing anything more than running the business. To be more specific, I was hoping there would be less lootbox and shit like that.

Also, I don't know if it is the fanboyism speaking for you but taste in games in quite subjective.

We'll see how Microsoft act in the futur and we'll eventually get our answer I think. I want to believe they would but let's not forget Microsoft's history either 😅 .

I believe that's a good and a bad thing. I mean, Microsoft can't run this as bad as current Activition's boss are doing it. We may see a gain in the respect Activision gives to it's players. I think Microsoft is better than Sony to manage exclusivity and there is less hypocrisy.

On the other side ... that's a fucking big chunk of the gaming industry that goes to one player. If Microsoft wants to shit on every playstation players from now on, they will be able to do it and that's not good.

I don't think that'll help Microsoft sell more console than Sony anytime soon. Most players already chose their system and the ecosystem of back catalog and all makes switching from one to another a losing situation.

Yeah, that's a problem with Meta and Alphabet. Everything collects so much data. I pretty much disconnected myself from Google (at least, the most I can with an Android phone and a gmail address). I'm always looking for ways to do better.

Facebook and Messenger is a pain to uninstall with all the people using it. That's like my only link with some family member.

Yeah I've been looking for a while for an app to switch to. All those messenger apps sucks so much. They all seems to be going to shit everyday we use them.

Should I try Signal ?

Yep, Connect is so nice right now. Each updates brings more stability.

I fit those ... You must be right.

Bienvenue sur Lemmy !

I sure hope it'll make people realise how these business are not on their side.

Many people are giving everything to them because "this is Google and this is safe". Well it might be safe but the company doesn't care about you or your experience. Not anymore at least.

That's right, I remember the Facebook of 2010 when it was "Tonight I'm going to the concert of XXX" and "I am finally relaxing after a long day with a beer".

Only your friends and their updates in chronological order.

The good times.

Well that's still a weird one, Activision destroyed everything else interesting in Blizzard so that's like buying a corpse.

I'm kinda sad for Sony fans that won't get to enjoy Bethesda anymore. That is the real tragedy of this deal.

i don't think that is victim blaming. People have been saying for a while that this is a scam. There is thousand of stories where people lost everything.

Trusting someone like that with your money is on you. You didn't listen to the little voice in your head telling you it's too good to be true.

That's crazy. Things are moving fast these days. It seems every private company owning a big website is trying to squeeze money out of user or closing.

So they made their decision based on a fucking lie ? What the hell is that.
