They have a 30% stake, but most of their other investments didn't produce anything. Even riot's down enough to have massive layoffs.

Maybe Microsoft should buy it.

Tencent historically is quite hands-off with their investments. Hoping they continue to be so if they did end up purchasing D&D.

I agree wholly except the language "stolen assets" is kinda false considering they own Riot, and they're their assets by all rights.

Huh didn't know that. That's definitely interesting.

That's fair.

To me, it feels kinda cynical of the developers, like how a lot of GaaS trickle thins out just fast enough to not destroy their userbase. I prefer a little bit more reward as I play through, while obviously maintaining a slow enough pace that it feels like there's reason enough to continue playing.

Different strokes though.

Not really. There's a ton of other survival games I'd rather play, and the game's progression feels like it's deliberately just fast enough to keep me from closing it. After 8 hours or so I closed and uninstalled because it feels engaging enough to play, but not enough to be anything but chores.

The boss battles suck, the crafting has arbitrary timers to it. I just really don't find it fun at all.

I love monster collection games, and I enjoy survival, but this definitely isn't for me.

What sites would these be, out of curiosity?

Devs clearly refers to the company that develops the game. Try again.

The fact that you're harping on this point is because you know I don't agree with personal harassment. You are aware that I don't agree with people being abusive about specific people who work for the company. You're making bad faith arguments to try to prove "You were saying this", which I was not, and if I was, is clearly not what I intended. Move on.

I repeat, for the last time, I've never advocated for toxicity or harassment to workers. Only to the companies they represent. Please, if you're going to argue with me, argue based on what I say, not what you decide I mean.

Sorry, but being toxic about a company is distinct from harassing the individual CM. You're gonna need to try a different line of reasoning because this is a pretty foolish one.

Remember when they launched the game in a shit state and charged full price for it, then failed to communicate? Actions speak louder than words, and those are some pretty toxic actions.

Sorry but I did specify publishers and companies multiple times. I've never once even alluded to personal harassment as I obviously don't believe in that. I however do think that this game deserves the toxicity it sees and the company deserves to be harassed for not delivering on their promise of a worthwhile product for which many people paid nearly $70 (CAD).

Your company? 100%. Absolutely. I implore people to abuse all companies, even.

Is a publisher who's failed to live up to the promise of a good game entitled to a good community? The fact they have any at all is a blessing.

Toxic devs get a toxic community. Why should I express sympathy for them experiencing consequences?

I'd have to imagine it would.

If you post something to the public internet it will be indexed.

Guess I'm just this dense, thanks.

AI has the potential to enshittify what would be immersive worlds in video games. Nobody wants their crafted NPC dialogue turned into ChatGPT garbage. Your comment is just propaganda.
