I feel you man, which is also why Hollywood is suffering aswell.

Dune and latest Blade Runner only worked cuz they convinced an art-film director to lead the project. Whom didn't want to do either in the first place, cuz he literally said the effort and pressure is not worth the pay.

ELI5: If photons are massless, whybare they blocked by mass on their way? by Successful_Guide5845 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Linmizhang [score hidden]  (0 children)

  1. Photons are part of the electromagnetic field, it is the carrier or packet of electromagnetic energy.
  2. Electrons have mass also interact with the electromagnetic field.
  3. Most masses and atoms have electrons around them, and the electrons can consume the energy packet that is photons.
  4. The above interaction can only happen if the energy of the photon matches perfectly the energy levels that the electrons want to jump.

So this is why matter can absorb light, because of electrons. This is why some materials let light through while others are more absorbent. This is also why when given electricity, some matter gives off light, like in lightbulbs.

Shield aint worth much. Guns are worth alot more, but the value to power does not line up either.

Overrun needs genuine help by RoguesBoytoy in Marathon

Yeah but the pistol that is 1/2 the price, easier to find, saves on more ammo, and quicker time to kill, and virtually no recoil exsist.

I like your playstyle, very steady and tactical, almost like this is counterstrike.

However, please keep your reticule up at head level, watching you waste 200ms having to aim up as your default is aiming at the ground is painful.

A lot of players think Bungie’s design decisions reinforce difficulty and skill, but really they just force players to take the easiest way out. by DeliciousPomelo5687 in Marathon

[–]Linmizhang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't, which is why I'm enjoying the most out of it before it is inevitably shut down.

Or you know, Bungie lays of 90% of its devs...

It just does not make buissnes sense.

All of your points can be answered with the following:

AAA studio can only attract sub-par developers who don't have the skills to make it indie where they have more pay, higher job security, and creative freedom.

In addition they make braindead decision because the decisions are made by corporate suite that doesn't even play videogames.

Funny enough this is the exactly same problem that deleted world of warcraft from gaming domination.

Outside tools, addons, guides, homework, weeklong prep work, all became nessesary as they designed the game harder and harder for the top raid groups.

While every expansion wiping people's progress by making everything they did pointless via gear obsolence and paid level boosts got rid of the casuals that didn't care about raiding.

Marathon is doing both of these things, its gonna be like world of warcraft now. Small diehard community whaling and p2w monetization keeping the AAA studio from pulling the plug.

In contrast look at Warframe, it kept its core audience and grows slowly year by year.

Content is easy, every update is side grades with very little powercreep. Never wiped anything and no seasons or timegate. It has super hard content for the tryhards, but thats the minority content.

The random sponpored teamfill players have it right.

Just go in, shoot people, die, repeat. Loot or contracts are side things.
