    They were planned in 20’s and during III Reich only around 15% of the plan was complete, their importance was very limited because not many Germans had cars and overwhelming most of transportation both civilian and military was done by trains, but the PR was colossal and all the fash ever since masturbate to it (i know your post was ironic, but to add some context for people that might not get it).








  • Imagine that luck, spent at least 8 billion and 20 years to build ships which they bragged would be heavily used in next 50 years, but got rendered obsolete in just 5 not to mention they break all the time. Certified French predreadnought moment.

    And speaking of dreadnoughts, it wouldn’t be even first time. UK did build a last and theoretically most modern battleship in the world, but not only it was armed in the retired 1916 main guns and turrets, but it was comissioned in 1946, nearly 5 years after battleships were proven to be obsolete.

    The hate was so intense it caused the publisher to disavow the series entirely.

    The game wasn’t exactly flop money-wise, it sold about what they predicted it would and at least one big DLC was heavily hinted in the game itself. What really killed it is the fucking 2018-2020 era in computer gaming when multiplayer shooters propagated like crazy and idiot doomsayers and other marketing “experts” prophecised end of not only RPG genre but single player games in general, for example Bioware was ordered to drop everything and make the Anthem trash.

    Agree with placing Andromeda here though. That game did had some glaring design flaws (like ship and vehicle being unarmed and alien having just few different faces) but overall it wasn’t nearly that bad as haters say.

    It definitely can be, for example art is very often hoarded as form of investment, and this can be a much lower-price form of the same, but not necessarily. I would say the more those things price is, the more chance for hoarding.

    That is, economically. If you mean hoarding as in psychology probably it’s more depending on person, a lot of people i know including me were collecting more or less useless things but nobody i know went into true hoarding problem and most of those people at some point got bored and got rid of their collections. Other than above personal experience, idk.
