The fractured but whole.

That’s a very different privilege, one that is in direct contradiction to the consumer’s right to repair

Half of those budgets is marketing

Developers have been underpaid for years. These increases are not going to them.

Nah, people are reaching on this one. There’s a lot of reasons to be mad at Nintendo. Cartoony proportions being a low key hint at GenAI is not one of them

Yeah, I do. A bunch of consolidations is AAA companies have left us steps away from a monopoly on publishers. Given the lack of competition, these big companies have gotten lazy and keep releasing the same shit over and over, some of it ripoffs, some of it remasters. People are getting fed up with it and their easy cash cows are now less profitable than they were.

Instead of changing their plans, they’re firing people. Because the only ones in charge are MBAs, not people who know what their products even are.

Another AAA game I want planning to play getting delayed doesn’t say anything about the games industry. Haven’t been excited about a AAA game in many years now. Everything is a bland cookie cutter sequel, remaster, or battle pass loot box multiplayer arena thingy.

Are you being sarcastic here… Or just a dick?

It’s a privilege to work for a shitty mega corporation making substandard pay for the skills you have?! And those mega corps routinely buy up the small studios, so it’s not like people have to even seek out employment with them to end up working for them.

This is an incredibly stupid attempt to bring games into a situation or is not involved in at all.

Young men have been driven right because a portion of the left have been really bad with their messaging and like to generalize a bit much about men being the source of social problems, despite young men being just as much victims to the billionaires who have been buying up our politicians to undermine our rights for decades. Society still has an outsized expectation for men to be the providers, despite women overtaking them in college degrees allowing them to often earn more.

The right wing preying on these ostracized people who often frequent gaming communities isn’t them taking gaming seriously. It’s them recognizing a hunting ground for manipulatable desperate people who want some kind of change.

It had been 5 years. There was nothing left to save after that long.

I’m not sure what this comment is responding to.

I’m aware. Nowhere did I say it wasn’t.

Only that if you were going to give birth for money, this is a pathetic amount to do it for.

It’s alarming people are so gullible that a glorified autocorrect can fool them into thinking it’s sapient

At least she has a nice view of Russia from her backyard to enjoy while recovering from this defeat.

Being a surrogate pays a lot more than this pittance.

We had twins, induced with epidural, with two days hospital stay, insurance was billed like 80k. We had to cover like 7k

Once again right wing policies don’t match up with what their stated goals are. This won’t even cover the hospital bill for delivering the kid, let alone what it costs to raise them.

If the right wing actually wanted to raise birth rates, they’d be offering universal healthcare, at least triple the current minimum wage, free preschool, free college/trade school, substantial paid parental leave for both parents, actual sick time/PTO laws.

Not this insult

Too bad there’s a ton of bootlicker red state governor’s forcing their workforce back to the office at the taxpayer’s massive expense.just to appease the dipshit who forgot this even happened within a minute of being told about it

He never got seven figures. He claimed he would have made that in silicon valley had he not joined doge. Based on his behavior I doubt that

The pope wouldn’t let him ogle the holy see.
