Yea you are. Stop creating things if you don’t like it.

Profit motivations kill the hobbyists and hobbyists are greater

This was me too. I know I would love it if I gave it the time but my first few playthroughs didn’t catch me right away. Couldn’t get into the game loop

basically accusing Lemmy of being controlled by marketing PR teams

You accused me of being dramatic but then discredit what I said with an overly dramatic take like that.

That is not what I said.

Because people that are posting comments like yours aren’t adding anything

That also is not true. They do add their thoughts and observations which is what I thought these forums were suppose to be about. These are communities that should be for users. What I said I observed is suspicious because it happens only in places like r/marvel or other sub reddits that are heavily controlled by PR teams. Posts are made, people give their honest opinions, posts get deleted. I have been seeing it more and more.

These marketing teams are the reason all these social media sites fail. Lemmy is unique right now because lots of us learned from reddit. The issue isn’t posting a sale you like. The issue is censoring and hiding what the community really thinks and manipulating these spaces so its favorable to whatever marketing team pay the most.

You said other users have said similar. It tells me there might be something to pay attention to if people really want Lemmy to stay as honest and community focused as it is right now.

That dynamic changes when its not organic. what I wrote about is not talking about regular users posting things they are interested in. My issue is when companies take over platforms and control discussion and content. This is what happened to reddit and most other social media platforms.

As far as I can tell, a lot of people here are conceded about avoiding pitfalls that ruined reddit. The biggest pitfall reddit succumbed too was focusing on attracting advertisers and marketeers over reddit. If having a discussion about that is dramatic then so be it. But makes me curious why you are concerned about stifling that conversation

I’m worried Lemmy has the same marketing teams in it that destroyed reddit.

I just saw a post yesterday trying to hype these sales that instead had honest opinions. Then the post gets deleted. I assume because we all weren’t swooning

Not sure if people are not bothered by that type of manipulation of these platforms or not but it bothers me so much to see legit opinions and views get crushed by PR teams.

Welcome to the game 2

Games are shit for a lot of us. But this YouTube is trying to tailgate with their own nonesense

Wouldn’t you ignore an article that said modern gaming is dead because its facism/made by Nazis/car head’s

Same buzzword bullshit that let’s you know the creator of whatever it is, is in too deep

I’d like to get into this but I just didn’t find the initial gameplay good enough to get me into the game loop. I’m sure one day I’ll give it time. But right now I didn’t get what was fun

For all young padawans, back in the day we got legit 90% off brand new games. I’d spend $100 and get 2, 4 month old games and the rest would be sweet under $5 deals. And deals were every hour. So if you missed a sale you could miss out on a massive sale. It was a legit event that earned the hype. Then they brought in refunds and people abused it. But sales back in the day were fun

$2.75 off a 6 year old game.

MUH WALLET CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE

I remember hitting a point when I realized how insane it is the most media will solve all problems with guns. Like it makes more sense why the culture cherishes guns after becoming aware how weird it is.

I didn’t realize until now that unity’s CEO was CEO of EA. Making a lot more sense now why unity would make such a bone headed decision

Riccitiello returned to EA to serve as CEO from February 2007 to March 2013,when the board of directors accepted his resignation because of the company’s financial performance. Following EA, he worked as an advisor to startup companies and became an early investor in Oculus VR.

He’s a legend. Hope he knows that.

I think we need to kill everything so this is a good start. Snake blisken LA

Guys they’re artists. They deserve to be paid every time you play any game. You wouldn’t steal a car

I would say it’s wrong they can get the video taken done. If he created the video then it’s his. They should have to pound sand

More like if you make a video that reviews a car, that doesn’t give the manufacturer the right to remove it. This was a let’s play, they weren’t redistributing the game.

They shouldn’t have that power. The content creator owns the content they created

But losing sales for the company should not be a criminal act. A sternly written letter should be the maximum punishment while the company pounds sand

That does mean it should be criminal or that a website should be forced to take it doen

Shouldn’t be criminal. They should sue for damage but there should be no crime.

Why do they have full right. They don’t own anything but the game. What gives them any right to do anything but try to sue.
