Its really not just a few people, its the system of neoliberalism that incentivised these behaviours.

With strong, common sense regulation, the internet would have been a much better place instead of the hell hole we have now.

This is so relatable… The one good thing about pre-internet is that you can really just be away and don’t need to respond to anyone.

Lol at so called rule of law that only benefits the rich

Probably priority? They have a tight deadline and skipping cut scenes is not a priority feature.

I have also seen game where dev deliberately ignore call for adding a skip scene button because they want their players to read the story. You can disagree with it but maybe the dev really think their cut scene is worth watching. That doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t play games, its just that they have high pride in their work.

I know the above is a controversial take. But I have no problem watching cut scenes if that is the dev’s intention.

Main problem is MS is cutting security update for Windows 10 soon unless you pay them.

Using a bad OS is one thing, using an insecure one for work is dangerous, so I was forced to update.

The replies here feel more like “list of game features that I do not like”

The MMO market is still big, just not as big as its used to. A MMO by a successful team has a much better chance than most games.

Huh? I care and I would refuse to listen to AI music

For more context, Bloomberg also reported on this:

Xbox Executives Were Blown Away by an Upcoming Game. Then They Canceled It.

But Blackbird’s cancellation was particularly shocking because it had blown away executives at Xbox just a few months ago. During the demonstration in March, Spencer was enjoying the game so much that Matt Booty, the head of Xbox Game Studios, had to pull the controller away so they could keep the meeting going, according to two people who were in the room.

This is a game that even Spencer was enjoying and then they just cancelled it. I have no word.

Unless we figure out who would “personally” be liable when an accident happen we should not have any self driving cars on the street.

Right now if someone crash into my car I know who is liable.

If self driving car crash into my car, are you telling me to sue Tesla? Lol, as if that is feasible.

Agreed. Not sure if anything can save this game at this point. I just want an 8 hour campaign in the spirit of the original…

They really need to take their time on this one. Without major change releasing the game will be a suicide.

Correct. The function is completely unnecessary.

That is not the case here. These are not bots which flagged issues, but literally a LLM to help with writing “summaries”, which is why the reaction is so different.

One of the few times when Disney is doing the right thing

So Jagex wants to avoid controversy…by creating a bigger controversy? Genius move from the new “CEO”. As always, the executive class is insane.

Absolutely. I am just fed up with MS regarding their increasingly shitty Windows. Forcing “AI” whenever possible. (No, I don’t need outlook to write emails for me. Thank you.) And generally just funding this AI craze.

WhatsApp is the more difficult one because some use it for work.

While this is a global phenomenon, I feel like the problem is much more serious in the US than other places.

The amount of corporate propaganda, the unwillingness to criticise business leaders seem much more serious in the US. Maybe that is because of my internet consumption, but I feel like Europe and even Asia are much more willing to call out corporate bullshit.

Actually there was one more quote:

Decades of neoliberalism has incentivized their rise, because when you incentivize society to become management — to “manage or run a company” rather than do something for a reason or purpose — you are incentivizing a kind of corporate narcissism, one that bleeds into whatever field the person goes into, be it public or private. We go to college as a means of getting a job after college using the grades we got in college, rendering many students desperate to get the best grades they can versus “learn” anything, because our economy is riddled with power structures controlled by people that don’t know stuff and find it offensive when you remind them.
