No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.

Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.

It’s just poorly made (performance wise), period.

Even modern hardware struggle with that crap. The old “But will it run Crysis?” meme is even more relevant for Oblivion

You are right that Fallout 4 was better, but not by much imo. I just remember the huge disappointment I felt with Skyrim and the Fallout games, being a huge fan of Fallout 1/2, and shooters in general. Everything just felt slow and wonky.

It just never felt like a priority, which is totally fine and lots of people praise their products like they’re the pinnacle of video games, the engine just ruins it for me.

I’m actually surprised to not be downvoted to hell. If you air this opinion in front of casual gamers, like in /r/gaming, they go full Bethesda-fanboy-mode.

If you like Bethesda games for their worlds, it’s probably gonna be great. To me, the gameplay in their engine just feels really bad.

The movement, FOV, aiming, shooting, etc. just feels like they spent a few hours on it for an alpha for Morrowind and it hasn’t changed one bit since.

When you’re used to well made FPS engines, the gameplay of Skyrim and Fallout games just feels super bad, like tech demo-level bad.

I hope they finally made some changes, but they didn’t for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, or Fallout 4, so my hope is running out.

I was never really on Digg, even though I was on the Internet since the early 00’s, but yeah, everything dies eventually.

Can’t think of anything aside from some obscure message boards that still exist today.

Reddit could suffer a 50% user drop and still make bank, but that won’t happen within the decade.

Boost for Lemmy is coming though

No, I don’t think there is a “not insignificant” number of people who would jump ship. We’re literally just a few nerds who dislike the monolithic corporate structure and care about privacy. Stop pretending the whole world is in the same boat. It’s turning into a weird tinfoil conspiracy.

It’s fine that we like it here, and I’m glad that we have an alternative, but people need to wake up and realize this isn’t some huge activist movement where we’re pwning “the man”. They don’t give two shits about these dumbass protests. They will do whatever necessary to continue growing and earning money. So stop giving a shit about them, stop talking about reddit, and just be happy users have the power with Lemmy.

Stop kidding yourselves… Reddit isn’t dying. It’s growing.

0.5% of users turned to Lemmy while the rest bent over.
