  • It kinda baffles me that people still apply for jobs at EA, Activision/Blizzard, etc. We need more disenfranchised developers making their own studios like Supergiant, Respawn and Embark, who go back to making quality games that are passion projects instead of sloppy money churners. I simply don’t understand why anyone would buy a game, then spend more money to not play the game in order to progress/level up/whatever.

    Just to be clear I’m well aware Apex Legends could be thought of as a money churner, but it’s still a free-to-play, quality product that just sells cosmetics so I personally don’t see it in the same light as CoD, FIFA or Madden.


  • What kills me with this ridiculous form of corporate thinking is the sequel does not have all the quality of life improvements of the original, i.e., they don’t build on lessons learned. A game may have patchs that add features that improve playability, or make settings easier to find, or just add some cool mechanic that everybody loves. Then the sequel comes out and all those features are missing for some reason. It’s fucking infuriating!
