History is wrriten by the victor, and unfortunately, if you have money in this world, you're winning.
Damn shame this comment section turned into an EOS battleground. This game is worth a hell of a lot more than that.
Have I ever made it further than tier 4? No. Will I start new playthroughs countless more times in an effort to? Hell yes.
Destiny 3: They have said several times over the years that making a Destiny 3 would not make sense, so there were no plans. Only thing that ever mentioned there was work happening on a D3 were leak accounts.
Considering it an overreaction is a bit subjective I suppose, but since what said was they are announcing things at the same rate, save for pre-TFS, all we had were the names of upcoming expansions... I don't see how I'm contracting myself. Unless you mean the leaks, which should always be taken with a grain of salt if you are to believe them.
I say it is an overreaction because, sure, they had a decade long story, but more than half of that was by the seat of their pants, *constantly * needing to stop moving forward and needling to fix core elements of this game. Curse of Osiris infamously almost killed D2, and without the Go Fast update and Forsaken returning everything people loved from D1... Game would've died.
I implore you to look back on Forsaken and see that it was just... Fixing D2. The campaign, while having some incredibly memorable story beats, was just... Not good. A bulk of the campaign consisted of Lost Sector like missions in the world that had you killing most of the Barons, with some bigger set piece missions spriklnkled in there.
All I'm trying to say is the only difference between now and then is that we had expansion names up front. Otherwise, about 6 months out, we would get our reveal, and them more info from there as we got closer. If anything, they are talking about Frontiers ahead of schedule. Usually wouldn't expect anything until like... November/December.
They are in damage control mode, trying to push update son content faster, but with less staff to do it. I imagine it's hell in Bungie HQ for the devs. Fuck their leadership though.
I feel as if the "lack of clear path forward" is a bit over an overreaction from the community.
They dropped Lightfall, and people feel burned, saying they'll stop playing after Final Shape because Bungie never learns. Add the 2 layoffs into the pot, and the player hemorrhage isn't about the path forward. This is just the first time the players haven't known the 3 year plan in a long time.
Bungie is still announcing plans at the same rate they used to, the only difference from pre-TFS is they gave the community the names of 3 expansions ahead of time back then.Now all we have are leaks from some twitter accounts and the title of the next year of content.
AFAIK, they are talking about what "Codename Frontiers" is either today or tomorrow. So yeah, no future plans is not really the issue. They have been saying for a long time there will be more D2. The reason people haven't wanted to play is everything else surrounding the the game (Bungie layoffs, etc).
Source: 3500+ hours of D2, and the ability to read and retain information. A seemingly rare trait in the D2 community.
Genuinely not sure why people are lining up to argue you on this. Its not even opinion, just facts.
If anything, it's about time us white guys have to fucking struggle a bit. I'd just like a world where we can collectively pull our heads out our asses and stop voting the wrong people into power.
Yeah, but Hopoo also isn't working on the RoR franchise anymore. I'm a Borderlands fan, and this is Gearbox slop.
Yeah, but the issues there are any musicians that aren't Taylor Swift don't make enough on their music alone. They have to either continue working, or go to other extreme lengths with frequent touring, extensive merch offerings, etc. They have to work the equivalent of 3 full time jobs (somehow) to make the money worth it.
If they were to nationalize YT in the same way, there would be 0 content creators. There is already so much effort that goes into that work, lowering the amount people earn even more would kill that as a career path.
Just my speculation of course, but I don't think the answer is always "make the governments pay for it". That will come back around in taxes, and the everyone is paying for YouTube Premium.
I don't put any nuts in my mouth, thank you.
Right now. Mostly just cause my brain felt like flying off the rails. Can't afford my meds right now, and yet we need $25k for our wedding still in 4 months, and we can't seem to dig ourselves out of the financial hole I dug us into after leaving my last job for my mental health and be incomeless for 3 months. Fun stuff for sure.
What's the bad behaviour we're accepting right now though?
The game was review bombed to hell and back and people stopped playing because of the behaviour. No one accepted it. Sony now doesn't have the account linking they wanted, and people not coming back to the game now punishes the Devs because it's their livelihood too.
You 100% don't have to play the game again, and it's a 100% understandable choice, fuck the corpos. But like... You get to have fun, and you support the Devs that work hard to make the content, without feeding your account data to Sony. My perspective shows little to no downside, even considering what benefits Sony.
That's right, I have heard of some of these cases, but thank you very much for the info! I definitely didn't want Sony to have any ground to stand on here, so happy that Valve is able to step up to protect consumers however they can.
That's why I said I wasn't sure and that I was asking for clarification?
At the end of the day, you have control over your own actions. You will be the one missing out in HD2, and if you're ok with that, then so be it.
The funny thing about this is that this community has proven it will not take any bullshit, so you're doing yourself a disservice by not allowing yourself to be a part of it anymore.
If you enjoy the game, allow yourself to play it again, and if Sony gets up to fuckery, believe in your fellow Divers to drop the bomb on them again.
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: The access hadn't been removed yet, as the update that would enable account linking wasn't pushed yet. As for the Steam side, I'm pretty sure people who already had the game installed should've had access still, although updates and general unsureness definitely could be obstacles. With this tweet, however, the update is no longer coming, and were just waiting for Sony/Valve to lift the selling/installing restrictions in those countries.
Would the publisher not have to request the game not be sold in those countries before Valve restricts the sale of it?
I believe that Valve may be the ones who do it, but just doing it without permission sounds... Illegal and out of their jurisdiction.
I know Valve controls their storefront and can absolutely pull games down, just looking for some clarification on whether this could be true or not.
One company owns a vast amount of all grocery stores in Canada.

So sure, it may not be the "grocery stores" individually, it's sure as shit on their holding company.

You keep saying they missed the point, but you haven't bothered to explain what your point is.
All you've done is argue that corporations not being taxed as much is not the problem, and then attacked the criticism these people have placed on you shallow point of view.
If you're gonna be an ignorant twat on the internet, at least know what you're talking about.
Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.
Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we're facing.
Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we're not in the class of people to make that change happen.
So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I'll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.
