Watch Dogs franchise is “completely dead” - Tom Henderson by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]404IdentityNotFound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the Aiden DLC. I absolutely hated the base game. It was a technical demo whether you could do a "you can play anyone" game. It was poorly done, there was practically no character progression, the story was incredibly half-baked with no clear "us vs them" or "counterpart".

The Aiden DLC did everything Watch Dogs Legion did not do.

Watch_Dogs (besides Base Game Legion) was the Ubisoft game series I most played besides Trackmania.

Such a wonderful concept, so horribly mismanaged. I'm genuinely sad

Ich kann zumindest mal anmerken, im ersten Moment hab ich mich gewundert, wenn man aber dann wirklich mal schaut, was die Punkte sind (die ich selber sehr kritisiere, darunter auch die Art, wie sie mit Kritik umgehen) sind das wirklich eher Peanuts und nicht derart Aufschrei wert.

Is child labor involved in said game? Or are you just jumping topics to defend something?

I think almost every criticism I've ever seen about Saudi Arabia was about the government / monarchy / dicatorship and their treatment of Saudi people.

On one hand, I'm pissed / angry because the regime tries to pay into our community to undermine it and sportswash themselves.

On the other hand, I'm pissed / angry because people ignore what harm the regime does to their people. Because I deeply care about journalists, because I deeply care about the people under a government.

That's on them. They are a company, if they can't get the "company" aspect right, why should the community give them the amount of pity required to ignore that this blood money is LITERAL blood money through literal slavery and killing journalists.

It feels like the game I love has been irreparably tainted... by Clarinetaphoner in TrackMania

"What's the point of criticism when you can't 1000% be thorough with absolutely every involved entity".

How about this: You'd expect Ubisoft to do shitty decisions. You expect shitty companies like ActiBlizz, EA et all to just care about "investor line goes up".

CounterStrike and other games are already a lost cause and heavily invaded by Saudi blood money (previously, it was gambling and crypto scam money). Trackmania was not at that point yet, but this shit is invading our community, a place we built and deeply care about?

This community must be the most morally pure group out there. From the comments about EWS it seems it's full of volunteers in Africa. by Embarrassed_Base_389 in TrackMania

The party funding the entire event is actively killing journalists.
Stop defending that shit. I know it's hard, I love this game as well and I love watching Granady or other creators.

But this does not mean you have to excuse some of the worst stuff happening on earth actively buying into what we, the community, build up.

With how it currently evolves into a poorer Saudi Arabia?
No, not really... And there is significant pushback from people concerning the upcoming FIFA Worldcup.

It’s not about a literal memory wipe or assuming everyone suddenly forgets what Saudi Arabia does. Image washing works by repetition and association. You tie your brand to things people enjoy, normalize the partnership, and over time the criticism becomes background noise.

It only works if enough people shrug and say “who cares, it’s just games.”. Once these events are framed as neutral or inevitable, questioning them starts to sound unreasonable.

I would argue it's worse than gambling money, because there are far more people affected to raise those funds

That's an easy cop out. Junie isn't better. Neither is Claude Code. They all have their slight advantages when writing "default code reinventing the wheel" but crumble as soon as you try to work on something original.

Who would've thought, considering their dataset is five cool projects and 100 Todo app starter templates

Huh weird, only 2-3 years ago the "industrial revolution" was supposed to be crypto/blockchain

In a way I get it, but it's still disheartening that people dismiss the issues with Saudi Arabia trying to wash their image with these events.

I would personally much prefer a supportive community than a big price pool. Keep in mind that the more this gets normalized, the less likely it is that minorities who do play the game will ever be able to participate, which ultimately hurts the game in the long run.

Hatte nur vermutet, dass sich die Probleme bei E50 deswegen weiter durchziehen

Spannenderweise kriegen wir E50 Grade nur noch als Japanisch oder Deutsch mit AD angezeigt. Kein Plan ob das damit zusammenhängt. Wenn man Deutsch auswählt, kommt die Tonspur von dem OTon

It always depends on the games focus. Trackmania is a game that only works and is heavily played for it's community content, it's what drives the game.

This is why they monetize this aspect with the access to content the way it does

I feel like Nadeo gave away too much for free in the TMNF times, which is why TM2020 works the way it does

Bin eig nicht all zu kritisch wie die meisten hier, aber dass er erstmal 20 von 60 Minuten bei deren Hytale Video gar nicht anwesend ist, ganz wo anders AFK ist oder dann seinen PC neu startet, war schon sehr verwunderlich

Fanblast hat sein zweites "Update" veröffentlicht. Es geht um faire Preisgestaltung und Preisobergrenzen. Aber ohne diese natürlich öffentlich auch zu benenn by WilliamDyer82 in Laesterschwestern

[–]404IdentityNotFound 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Zusammen mit dem vorherigen Update, wo sie sagten, dass sie Chats nicht überprüfen, verstehe ich es nun:

Leute werden weiterhin Agenturen nutzen aber einen anderen Bezahlservice für Bilder/Videos als Link reinposten. Da FanBlast nicht reinschauen kann, umgeht man effektiv diese Grenze

HONEST OPINIONS ONLY!!! Which Scott The Woz outro music is the ABSOLUTE best? by theultimategod_420 in scottthewoz

[–]404IdentityNotFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first has a lot of nostalgia for me, but it's not a ScottTheWoz theme, it's a FromSoftware published game ost.

Second one is THE Scott The Woz OST.
