Many of these are barely games at all, but they’re marketed as such so into the games section this goes. only-good-gamer

      Placing the blame primarily on individual consumer choices is a LIB take and the sense of lofty superiority you might feel from that take is also a form of liberalism.

          they would’ve had to find different ways to be horrible

          That’s a non-provable negative and claiming that absolutely everything would be exactly the same is just a call for apathy and I reject it.

                is not something i did

                claiming that absolutely everything would be exactly the same

                is also not something i did

                allowing bad people to be bad however they please

                is not something i proposed or implied

                I’m not sure who you’re talking to but for a portion of each of your replies in this thread it seems to not be to me.

                have a nice day.

                  There aren’t many other ways to interpret saying that, or its intent in being said. Dodge around all you like, but if all you have to say is disavowals of interpretation over and over again, then you effectively said nothing at all, which is fine by me because your apathy statement was worthless from the start.

                  have a nice day.

      No, I let this happen. I once saw Sid Meier at an airport and I didn’t attempt to kill him or even slip a note into his thick jacket pocket threatening his life if he ever made a bad game.

      Steam’s got plenty of bad behaviors in its backlog (Steam Greenlight was an asset flipping garbage printer), but yeah that was a big W.

      the target of some of the most shameless and exploitative practices of late stage capitalism but also are the vanguard of reactionaries

      Sounds like Alberta in Canada or the Deep South in the US. dumpster-fire

    If you had watch this video and somehow missed all references to crypto, then you would assume all of these games were asset flips or prototypes of new indie games. Absolutely nothing about these games were groundbreaking or interesting. None of them even attempted to do something useful or interesting to benefit from NFTs or crypto at all. How much time and money you think went into the blockchain aspect that could have been used to polish these games?
