  • I always kind of judged comment sections quality by their ability to stay on topic. YouTube has been the absolute worst at this for at least the past 15 years. Test it yourself, go unto any YouTube video check the comments. By the second, sometimes even first reply to the top comment it turn into incoherent nonesense. This is not a new phenomenon, this has always been the case.



  • There are only a few things that will make me buy a game without a second thought.

    • a game by Capcom,
    • a game by Kojima,
    • “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam,
    • a Bundle with the game and all DLCs for under $10,
    • a game with a notoriously large modding community,
    • a game that a friend what’s to play in coop.

    That’s about it, everything else is pirate first and if it’s actually something I’ll play I buy the game for real. I’m 400+ games deep in my Steam library of which I have maybe 20 actually completed and 5 that I regularly play. That’s literally thousands of dollars down the drain.


  • Do you think everybody works on a game pro bono until it releases and makes a profit? Artists and Devs are all either commissioned or salaried employees. By the time the game releases everybody who put in any effort has long been paid. You’re effectively stealing management bonuses, shareholder dividends and most importantly the budget for a sequel or longterm support.
