It was very much not an action oriented game. It was more about building resources and exploration. I can definitely see it not appealing to large swatches of the gaming population. Especially those used to the modern spate of action rpgs.

He still has limitations, even if he has less than the typical person, or even the typical superhero.

What if Superman had depression.
Then there’s the film processing, dark rooms aren’t cheap!

Zorque@lemmy.worldto Game Development@programming.dev•"Proof" of Valve's wrongdoing in antitrust class-action lawsuitEnglish3·7 days agoItch is less a storefront, or even a social site, and more a developer playground. And real competition is no holds barred, bar-room brawl, knock-out drag-out free-for-all. People think “oh, if we just let people compete, everything will work out splendidly”. But the truth is, the strong will always overshadow and overpower the weak with “real competition”. It’s not fair play and love is the truest standard, it’s king of the fucking mountain. And whoever has the biggest wallet is often the biggest winner. That doesn’t mean Steam, or even Itch or GoG, that means Microsoft and Epic and EA. That means the bullies win.
No one really wants that, they just want a pipe dream that can never exist.

Don’t they take roughly the same as any other storefront, aside from Epic? And Epic mostly just does it as a marketing tactic, rather than to act in some way ethically.

Even if the same people make another game, unless they just make a carbon copy they’re going to try and do something different. Sometimes it doesn’t work as well as the original, but at least it’s not churning out the same thing over and over and hoping people don’t notice.
Granted, Gamefreak has basically been doing that for 25 years, so what do I know?

There’s plenty of non-Jewish people who are also perfectly happy to profit off the suffering of Palestinians.

There is that aspect of it, but there’s also the aspect of writing your own destiny, about creating something you care about instead of just being a nameless cog in an industrial machine putting out consumerist crap day in and day out. Why is the latter more admirable to you than the former?

Zorque@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish42·8 days agoAlso, you didn’t choose to share your profession with us. It makes me think that you’re attempting to create a social media presence of your own.
Either that or I don’t think value is only subjective to what you do for a living. That my opinion is somehow less valuable because I don’t fall into a specific field you perceive as valuable.
I’m just saying that without those who work in physical reality, creating tangibles with tangible things, make the mental edifices possible.
And often those non-tangible things help to give those who make the tangible things the willpower to go on. It’s not a one way street, where value is only created by those who create tangible goods and stolen by the intangible. That’s a very pessimistic, if not “holier-than-thou” perspective. As though anyone who doesn’t do what you respect isn’t worth as much as someone who does.
Like I said, a very boomer attitude.
Zorque@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish102·8 days agoWhy won’t you feel sympathy for someone who’s hurting? Why do you feel that someone needs to fall into a very narrow category to be “worth your time”?
Just because someone doesn’t fall into your narrow view of what’s worthwhile doesn’t mean they’re not worth basic human compassion.
Zorque@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish52·8 days agoSocialism is about more than unions, that’s just the most obvious aspect in a heavily capitalist society. It’s about the sharing of burdens, which includes more than physical labor.

Something doesn’t need to be a physical product to hold tangible value.
Zorque@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnoutEnglish51·8 days agoJust because you do something a certain way doesn’t mean everyone does. A huge chunk of these peoples income comes from the random people who find their videos or streams because of the “algorithm”. Not from their regular viewers. Those regular viewers allow for a certain amount of steadiness, but they’re also more likely to watch videos at a later time rather than right when they’re uploaded. Which is a significant drop in revenue for each view.
