The executives that say this shit have such a lack of understanding of AI and the kind of work people do daily.
If you’re snooping here, you gotta calm yoself down.

So they aren’t updating the original? Just releasing a new version??
I kinda feel like they’re trying to make me buy the game again.
Oh a 2-year warranty? Not sure how useful that warranty will be if they continue to deny every warranty claim.
I get that. And I self host the things I care about. But for the average layman? I don’t see self hosting as a real option. Unless you are decently tech savvy, and have an aptitude for troubleshooting, most people aren’t gonna put in the time or effort of initial setup. Even if maintenance is minimal once it’s running. That first leap into self-hosted is daunting.
I think of it this way… would I expect my dad to be able to do it? Absolutely not. And my dad is decently tech savvy for 70.
Any idea how to use a tiled wallpaper on modern smartphones? Android doesn’t let you choose, it just stretches the image to the display size.
Churn is inevitable with any subscription service.
The trick is creating just enough value and exclusive content/services that you feel like you’re gonna miss out if you leave. But not too much.
I haven’t seen any incentive to stay with any specific game subscription service via exclusive content or services. But I do see plenty of attempts to lock people into services with shitty tactics. Like forcing save data to the cloud. Good luck moving that saved file to your own personal copy of the game. Or multiple tiered service options with features/games locked behind more expensive options.
It’s all manipulative and anti consumer.
Don’t think they mean sharing data. I think they’re referring to sharing an equally regulated digital environment. That could totally be done without sharing info, but following equal practices.
Really at this point, the lack of regulation is already killing the Internet. Google search isn’t search anymore, it’s ad delivery. Reddit and Facebook are ‘news’ for a huge majority of people. Amazon is essentially the only online retailer people have available, and where other options exist, Amazon uses it’s leverage to make those other experiences just a bit worse. All of these companies use their size and monopolistic weight to prevent competition and by extension worsen consumer options and create worse experiences.
The digital market is doing what any market does, just a lot faster.
Sims 4 released in 2014. They had plenty of time to address bugs in-between the millions of stupid updates, but they didn’t bother. Who honestly expects any real work from these guys at this point?
As long as it took to get these games on steam, I’ve completely lost interest.
I could also see a database being used to coordinate game ownership with a fraction of the power usage. But neither will happen because consumers always get the raw end of the deal and nothing will ever be done to their benefit without being forced.
Yeah I agree.
We don’t know anything yet.
Bold statement. Might wanna hold judgment till you actually see some gameplay.
Dual CEOs? I feel like I’ve seen this in a comedy somewhere.
What’s healthy for the business long term isn’t healthy for the customer. Remember that.
This is what happens when we allow gigantic acquisitions.
Any idea if this is gonna require a PSN acct? Or is it optional?
Ugh.
Shame, I wanted to pick this up at launch, seems like it would be fun if kind of basic. But I’ll wait to see how post game patches do, might end up getting it on sale.
People talk like it’s game breaking, or completely unplayable. But I have an absolute blast playing this game every night with my friends. Bugs be damned.
Does it matter at this point? They lost a lot of interest in this game.
