      They didn’t even read the headline.

      The headline clearly says that Hasbro (owners of WotC/D&D) did layoffs, not Larian Studios (creators of Balder’s Gate 3).

        The headline here on lemmy is unreadable gibberish with BG3 in the title. It could as well be

        Layoff 5blagagasjjee Swen shgrwaaahahaaaa Baldurs Gate 3 dacghgfrtf gone. Click here for ads.

        So i get where he’s coming from. On the other hand, once you start reading the ads with some content in between it becomes clear immediately that this is about the IP holder, not the game studio.

          I’m kinda with you on that, without knowing that Hasbro doesn’t own Larian this can be misread.

          But I guess that the overly angry tone made people quite upset about your comment

      Read? Lemmy is Reddit 2.0. Unfortunately, the majority don’t read articles.

          Off-topic, but when I mentioned this in a different thread, an actual answer I got is basically the fediverse is really similar to reddit - how can the culture be any different?

          Anyways, if the fediverse starts to become Reddit 2.0 I think it would be high time to go.

            Or maybe people could steer the culture in one way or another by encouraging/discouraging specific behaviour. Nah, sounds like an unrealistic thing

            On a serious note, self-regulation should be simpler in a smaller community, so it might work better here than on Reddit
