The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook
  • There's nothing in most of these AAA games to truly love. They're a sea of merely "alright", and they're all way too long.

    Captures Ubisoft's philosophy on one sentence. But it's what makes them money, so they'll keep doing it.

  • The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook
  • Exactly. Ubisoft is the perfect example of this. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, R6. They used to take risks and try to push gaming forward with amazing ideas and design that made my kid brain explode.

    Now those IPs are dead or extremely stale. And it's because releasing an AC with microtransactions makes them more money than making an offline single player Splinter Cell. Or releasing a skin for 20 euros for R6 siege makes them a huge profit for the time invested in creating it.

    God I wish we'd get a new single player Splinter Cell. Some of my best memories I have as a kid are playing the original Splinter Cell. Even if we do, it'll be riddled with microtransactions and will fail to capture the magic of the original games.

  • Google confirms Gmail is “here to stay” amid speculation over plans to scrap the email service
  • I mean this would be insane. Gmail is probably the most used email service in the world, and even though I'm not a Google fanboy, it's also probably the best.

    What are people gonna use? Outlook? Fuck that. I only use that piece of trash because of my job.

  • Tech Job Interviews Are Out of Control
  • I once had to do a take home product design assignment on a real feature for free only to be rejected due to not having enough relevant experience.

    Fuck that company, I hope they go under.

  • Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Review Overview
  • I cannot be the only one intrigued by the story concept of this game. Playing as the villains going after your favourite heroes, seeing everything from their perspective, potentially going through some character development. If it was that, I would've bought it Day 1. It had such potential, but the assholes at Warner Bros wanted to make it into a cash cow.

    Such a waste...

  • YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave
  • I'd happily pay for premium as I use YouTube religiously. But it's Google so fuck them, they already process my information in order to show me ads and profit off of my data. I think that's payment enough, so I'll just find any free way possible to watch YouTube without ads.
