I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.
The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.
The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.
Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.
Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.
Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.
It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you’re just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)
I gotta say. Props to Lemmy users here. This thread is just post after post of generally reasonable take on how enjoyment and entertainment work in reality.
And really just a perfect argument for why infinite growth live service games are a fucking cancer dreamed up by humans who are fucking parasites.
Helldivers is great and the devs should be proud of their success. A+ .
Lots was learned. They learned they can continue to move the goalposts simply forever it seems.
Wait for the rage over this particular round to die down. Release a game with similar but slightly dialed back bullshit. Tell everyone how much better you are than them.
Repeat until people pay $99 for the right to rent the game for $10 a month plus pay to win MTX.
Sure DD2 is a corpse, but a new game will come growing from its corpse.
Soon the poors won’t be able to play games anyway as that will be forbidden by their owners
Nearly all social animals would be punished in some way for hoarding resources from the group. Between loss of social status all the way to being killed. Our closest relatives like apes straight up murder individuals that do this.
It’s a mental illness. We’ll probably find out it was caused by lead or micro plastics if our species survives this time.
For now. I believe the correct call to action involves guillotines. We can dial it back if things get better.
I love this for people looking for high quality games with fewer bugs.
The counter argument is that the industry is dominated by the opposite. Low quality trash with flashy graphics and deep monetization. Publishing execs would read this kind of thing and demand to never publish a Linux game.
Then they’d hiss at the sunlight and scurry back into their dank cave …
TBF Zoom was nothing special then
