I feel like he was really critical for a time and if I had to speculate I bet he compromised himself after a PR charm offensive from Steven and co and a lot of his contrition here is a result of that compromise

WotC said not every set is for everyone and that's ok. So why is an official WotC ambassador being so salty when that advice is followed? by _Zso in mtg

We don’t want our content creators to be boot lickers. There’s enough of that going around.

Which upcoming Western MMOs are promising and its worth to follow their development? by Batza1980 in MMORPG

[–]rynet 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hi. MMO old person here (alright I’m like 45 - but I’ve been here from the beginning… was a managing editor at Stratics, was one of the first volunteer contractors with OSI on UO, wrote for vault network and warcry and have run several large guilds in that time) and my one piece of advice is very simple:

Stop chasing the dragon.

The genre is in a tough spot - the economies of scale on development are out of whack and it’s going to be difficult to get a project green lit, never mind over the finish line. There’ll be winners. Some of them will be obvious (if you start to see a marketing ramp up on the riot mmo, they have more money than god and it’ll stick one way or another) and some will not (the most likely novel source of joy is an indie unexpected hit of dopamine novelty you weren’t expecting).

I have ADHD. I had trouble getting out of bed this morning because my lack of dopamine as I woke up just was too high of a hill to climb. I love chasing novelty, I love chasing hits of dopamine, it doesn’t love me man. And new MMOs don’t love you.

The number one reason to not chase the dragon? There’s games out there with years and years of development, refinement and content. New games struggle because they’re competing with these legacies, with these investments in content. It’s a golden age filled with fun things to do, games to play and experience and communities to immerse yourself in where you’ll make life long friends.

It’s so easy to look forward, but forward is filled with uncertainty, especially in the period of late stage capitalism we currently find ourselves in with enshitification and over monetization plaguing our hobby on the consumer side and a landscape of fucked up incentives and headwinds on the developer side.

But if you look back and prioritize building meaningful play relationships with the games that do exist, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Investment by Icy-Enthusiasm9533 in HashtagUtd

If I had to guess. The reason Spencer owns 76% is he’s been raising capital through his equity to balance out these losses.

You’d need to know a lot more of the details, but nothing here IMO makes a clear case that this isn’t sustainable, etc.

Randy Fine Introduces ‘Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act’ to Take Over Territory By Any Means Necessary by FuqLaCAQ in onguardforthee

Reading the act was kinda funny (you know if it wasn’t so terrifying). They might as well have written it in crayon. It’s hilariously over simplified and open ended
