Yeah, but where’s the asterisk with the possible side effects that all commercials come with?

I believe such actions need to be brought more to the forefront of the options people elect to choose from. Voice has done nothing, and will do nothing now and for the rest of this regime.

And how do we fight back against fascism? I can’t think of a way when the side opposing fascism is run by, and supported by, the greatest bunch of pussies in the history of mankind.

Not if their food gets poisoned, that’s for sure

I hope by making games quicker they shorten the length of the games to do so. Give me some good ol’ 40-50 hour RPGs. I can’t take this 100+ hour length anymore.

So, Trump is entering into a war in order to keep his grasp on power? He’s learned from Netanyahu. Maybe the guy needs to removed, with force most likely, before this can happen.

When voting with your voice, or with your money, doesn’t work, it’s time to vote with lead.

I’m hoping he’s given a prison sentence and instead he gets out of said sentence by releasing the Epstein files I’m 99% sure he made a copy of while DOGE was doing it’s shit.

This will be my last reply to you because it’s tiring having to educate people on how the world works.

So, if a dev were to decide not to localise for the Japanese market, they’ve made the decision it’s not worth the cash. In that case, what’s your problem with said decision?

Yeah that’s their choice. But if they’re doing it solely because of the risk of a bad review, that’s just pathetic. Which was my point and your seemed to miss that.

When did reviews become ‘news’.

That’s all a review is. Someone’s news about the game. Ie reporting. Reporters report news.

As I noted in my previous comment, yes something in the system needs to change. It can be from any of the parties involved. The platform, the devs, or the gamers. I don’t really care which, since it doesn’t affect me.

Another person crying about a problem yet offering zero realistic feedback on fixing it, suggesting even that an entire culture change so game devs aren’t afraid of reviews. No. The only thing that needs to change is how the reviews are done, and that is Steam’s, or whatever other service’s, problem to fix. Or you know, people could find a reliable reviews source from outside Stream and go by that. God forbid people do research that involves five clicks before spending their hard earned money.

Based on everything in the article, everybody seems to be reacting very calmly.

By reacting very calmly do you mean pulling completely out of a game market by no longer localizing games or running betas there? Yeah, super chill reaction. Totally rational to just ignore so many people without spending a day brainstorming solutions and actually following through with implemented changes that address the problem.

You’re the most butthurt person so far.

Yes. It sucks to take it upon yourself to educate people on the workings of the world. I wish I didn’t care that people were idiots, but unfortunately for me I do as I have to share earth with them. And it hurts me so. In the butt. Other places too, but the pain in my ass is the worst.

Grow up before you melt, snowflake.

Guyincognito, out.

Edited because I don’t know how to close quotes

Why would a developer want to get into the Japanese market? Simple really. Cold hard cash. It’s why we have anything really. Including games.

I don’t know what planet you’re pretending to live on but here on earth there’s a pretty simple rule to understand about news. It’s that no news is good news, and bad news is news. Seriously. Open up any news source. Unless something is fucking stellar it won’t be reported on. Why anyone needs flowery words to do their job to earn money sounds silly to me.

If you read the article above it goes on to say that most of the bad reviews were justified in their criticisms.

But I’ll offer a suggestion to fix the problem of these butthurt developers. Petition Steam, or other review sites, to change the way scores are done. Change them to a percentage of players who played who gave poor reviews, instead of a percentage of the reviews. Boom, problem solved. Now instead of 20% of the reviews being bad, it’s 2% of the players. 98% don’t think it sucked, so it must be good.

Maybe they need to take up the challenge of making a game that doesn’t cause people to warn others about it? I dunno. People are always gonna people (be shitty) and that’s something thin skinned companies need to get over, and quick. The Japanese made the games industry the powerhouse it is today. How many Japanese game mascots can you name? How many Western ones? To stop catering to that market because of a slee of bad reviews is just pathetic. Why a game developer needs to be encouraged to make a good product, instead of just buttoning down and doing their job of making a quality game to start with, send silly to me. Do I need my boss to praise me to do my job? No. But I sure as shit will hear about it if I’m not doing my job well.

I don’t know how old your are, but I grew up playing Japanese games and I extremely rarely had a complaint about them other than the occasional difficulty spike, though I still finished them. Nowadays, I feel like I stop playing games and don’t care about finishing them about 25% of the time. It’s because they’re crap and I wish I had read more of the reviews first.

I’ve made the decision to never buy new games anymore because I’m too often disappointed. I hope the Japanese, and other gamers too, create enough aggregate reviews to help me enjoy the games I purchase.

Or it’s possibly a part of their culture to warn others to avoid bad investments? I’m not Japanese though so what do I know.

I’d say it’s not on the Japanese to change their ways, but on the developers to not put out products that merit that kind of feedback.

Hopefully some more drought for one and flooding for the other will thin the herd a bit in the coming months and years.

I hope part of the negotiations for going back to work for the workers involve every member of the board stepping down without any severance, effective immediately. We need to enforce the idea with these boards thinking they can rely on big daddy government to force workers to go back on day one and therefore they don’t have to even try to negotiate in good faith.

People have too much trouble reading more than a paragraph which is why it hasn’t been upvoted enough.

Laura Loomer’s latest victim is always the last person to look at her face.

It’s funny how everyone wants to complain about cuts to this and that, yet they offer up zero solutions as to how to acquire the funds to support the programs receiving cuts.

Our country is going through a tumultuous time in industry, and unless we get that up and running efficiently by investing heavily in making Canadian products and finding new international buyers, there won’t be any money to spend on any social programs in the future either. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, those of security and sustenance and more important than the need for community. I know my answer sucks, but stable pyramids are built from the ground up and not the top down.

This is a long transition that, hopefully, in several years, will see us self sufficient and prosperous, and able to fully fund the needs of all Canadians. Until then, every community, every one, will feel the sting of financial hardship. The sooner we get up and running, the shorter the pain of the sting.

Good. Let’s hope that federal domestic terrorists continue to have domestic terrorist threats thrust upon them. Make them terrified to go to work. Make them terrified to do their job. Make them terrified to be such shitty people. They deserve it. This crap needs to end so we don’t descend into another dark age.

While I love the idea of fighting back against Maga, won’t this lead to voting being a waste of time in the long run? This just sounds like a new way to rig an election so that democracy is no longer practiced.

It’d be nice if there was a plan to reset the gerrymandering, or institute electoral reform, after this one time election so we can all experience democracy, as intended.

I think it would be better if the Zionists resettled in South Sudan instead.
