I ain't letting this thread die with me simping for Samus...

Political opinions shouldn't be forced into games (cough) Sweet Baby Inc (cough)

Yeah, sure, believe love is love, believe Trump will save America, just don't shoehorn it into games.

Not saying every instance of politics in games is bad, like look at Metal Gear, politics are a theme in that series, and it's still a good series.

Even more unpopular opinion: those aren't politics or political issues, and actual political opinions in games fly over people's heads completely unnoticed.

imma say it: your cringe if a feminine person is all it takes to make your VC rancid. i used to use fem avatars in mmos, every time at least 1 dude will be sexist and hit you up at the same time.

i def agree but i don’t think that should be the only reason why someone uses they/them. it makes more sense if you just want to be referred that way in general yk..

Games shouldn’t cost more than 40$
I agree. And it doesn't matter how much money a game rakes in, because studios can seemingly go under without warning. I hate that the video game industry is so fragile.

Overspending on stupid stuff will put any company under

It's not that simple.

Here's a good video about it if you have 10 minutes to spare:




It's just the fact the development studio is separate from the publisher which in turn is separate from whatever company owns and runs it into the ground, and the slash-and-burn management style that intentionally destroys assets for short-term profit, bonuses, and let's not forget ~s~h~a~r~e~h~o~l~d~e~r~s~

It's why Musk is getting paid huge bonuses despite absolutely tanking all the companies he's involved with.


There's a story going around about how the "all-you-can-eat shrimp" promotion caused Red Lobster to declare bankruptcy, and a string of jokes about how people ate them out of business. Which is total bullshit designed to take attention away from the (mis)management practices that actually ran them under.

Among other things.

It's all about nabbing a short-term profit and jumping ship while everything burns.
