Poorly received games with tons of other venues of monetization outside the box price.
For it to work well the developer has to change the game's design to allow for the easier mode to work. If they don't, it wouldn't offer a good experience for neither the easy mode nor hard mode players.
That's pretty much like saying to a person to watch a let's play of the game rather than play, which is fine but not really the point.
Good example. I also feel like vegetarianism is probably correct, but I still haven't gone that way.
I'm glad you are like that, but dometimes people want to be convinced of the opposite side but haven't been able to, yet.
From a purely financial view, they don't. There's a reason why games have become as handholdy as possible. And one of the reasons why the Souls series stood out was because it went in a different direction.
I'm not sure how the impending climatic doomsday is going to make human rights unimportant?
Maybe? I feel like the developers have the prerogative to decide to include it or not, but with the way the discourse has gone it certainly feels like I'm in the wrong here.
I thought about it a bit when making this post and I felt like not giving an example would make people come with crazy political opinions which would probably be a bad time. Maybe it still wasn't the best approach, admittedly.
I don't particularly find the acessibility argument that compelling. Sure, we must make experiences as acessible as possible, but at a certain point the experience gets degraded by it. You can't make a blind person see a painting, and if you did, it wouldn't be a painting.
Yes, but by that same argument if the experience doesn't work for you as it was intended, perhaps the game isnt for you.
Not that arguing this point is the question here anyway.
What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?
In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...
Summoner class going to eat good. Guess I'll do another playthrough of terraria.
If Twitter is any indication, Discord would have to fuck up big, and for a long time for people to switch.
Your explanation ignores the root cause of the issue. People stayed home because the Democrats and Kamala failed to motivate them to go.
Funny to post that on a lemmy.world account lol
If you are not engaging in political posts or are not a hardcore liberal, you'd be hard pressed to find a problem.
Niches really need a way to advertise themselves and then congregate in one place. It's a bit sad to see two communities for the same thing in different instances and neither get the critical mass of posters needed to survive.
You'll realise just how little people will make do with. And how much lower what you considered a terrible standard of living can be.
Blizzardâs World of Warcraft is no stranger to costly in-game cosmetics, but its latest super expensive mount is so popular itâs causing a shortage of WoW Tokens in the in-game auction house.
Game is good, now btw. Blizzard's changed! /s

Weird that they decided to leave the fix for 7.1, but at least it's acknowledged now.
Today, I left windows behind for good
I did it. For a few years now I've wanted to make the jump but lazyness and a bit of worry that my main game wouldn't work very well kept me from it.
Then some effing windows update caused ridiculous stuttering on games (or maybe it was a auto-update of some other hidden thing, I couldn't figure it out) so I decided that if I needed a system wipe, might as well as try gaming on linux.
Honestly? Much easier than I expected. Install Steam, turn two options on and 90% of your library is ready to go. I had to tinker with getting freesync to work (ended up just switching to wayland, which just worked) but other than the plugins I use for my main game requiring a bit of more work, smooth as butter really.
So yeah, if you are a lazy gamer like I am, next time you do a system wipe or get a new computer, try installing linux first. Don't even bother Dual booting it, if you don't like it just reinstall (setup your usb drive with ventoy and the images you want to try out.)

I really hope this revitalizes the community
Dawntrail MSQ is great and I don't understand where the hate comes from
Did people think we'd go to a whole new continent and not have any worldbuilding? Or did they want another high-stakes world ending threat for a high-adrenaline story?
Why does every REST testing software want me to login?
I just want to build requests and read the responses, why the hell does everyone suddenly want me to make an account?
What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse?
Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can't find a community here (or maybe it just doesn't exist)
As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?
I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I'm quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great.
But support for windows 10 is ending and I should probably switch sonner rather than later, so I'm wondering if Arch would be a good pick for me? For reference, I mostly game and do Godot stuff in my free time.

We'll be getting the job previews, supposedly.
Square Enix has revised its approach to PC and console game development, and absorbed „22.1 billion (approx $140.9 million) in what it calls âcontent abandonment losses.â
One big project or multiple smallers ones? What do you think?
Do you guys actually move aroung your ascended gear to play your alts?
Seems like too much work to me, so I started getting duplicate pieces just to save the hassle, but a few guildies said I was crazy.
So what have you been doing while waiting for Dawntrail?
I got my UWU clear last month so I'm kind of just doing nothing in the game, since I dont think I can prog TEA from the beginning before DT.
Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?
Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?
But what the hell, I'm pretty sure there's more isekai now than other genres/settings. It's gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.
