And is just an extension to their licensing nonsense and publishing deals thst came beforex

Anyone surprised by any of this doesn't care about Nintendo's behaviour, just the impact the current move is having on their current fun.

A lot of games developers don't understand trends in gaming that aren't explicitly gamist. Even as walking sinulators and cozy games have garnered audiences that make those genres viable, many in the industry have refused to actually look at them with an eye to understand who they appeal to, why, and what about them is doing the connecting with their audiences.

I worked on a mobile PvP project that rejected purely aesthetic elements because none of the director, designer, not "monetization specialist" could understand why anyone would want them, even as Fortnite was bursting onto the scene making its money on its emotes and paper doll elements.

Art driven paper doll games were also eating our lunch in the mobile space.

There are clearly some in the industry who understand the appeal, but most of them are not decision makers in development studios. The decision makers got there by coming up in a much more focused, much less casual, much less inclusive era in gaming, and have a pretty fixed idea of what a game "is" or "is supposed to be".

Because of this,aAs things shift towards more IP licensing deal, the results are going to be a lot of conflicts between tone and gameplay on these projects.

Depends on whether the Hulkster is claiming to have written it or not, brother

I want a public fibre network, not for-profit space junk.

But they're only getting paid for the time a primter would take to print it, because why should she pay for more for less?

Or at least a suggestion.

That's a penalty. You gotta be dribbeling through those lights

No. Apple's just getting paid from both sides.

Shit, my desk used to be next to the kitchen. I made lunch and ran/emptied the dishwasher at the office and the bosses didn't whinge about how I spent my time. I also did a bunch of my ideation on the office couch.

But do the same things in my home and it's a problem? That tells me what the real issue is: the threat of agency.

"We falsely claim to be society's bodyguard, and this is how we're treated? As people you just expect to put themselves in harms way for your safety?

"The fuck is up with that?

"No, I don't know what a bodyguard does. Why do you ask?"

Oh no. Won't someone think of the people who are attracted to and hold a state monopoly on violence.

This. One of the points of this whole endeavour is self-hosting, in the name of resisting centralization.

Imagine if Mozilla had hostes its website on Geocities.
