many of the most interesting games started as free mods or student projects

    The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales

      It’s pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.

      Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned

      The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You’d need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop

    I haven’t been here long but I imagine c/outside exists?

        I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

        Things like, “I’m level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?”

        Or “What’s the cheat code for an affordable surgery?”

        You get the idea. Life’s a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.

          I wish they would properly announce the UFO DLC already. All we have is rumors and hearsay.

            I’m personally of the opinion that the hints aren’t for the UFO expansion, but it’s probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

            It’s sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

          Affordable surgery is exclusive to the European servers, it seems.

    How could the creator of the image miss the opportunity for it to say “we live in a society”

    This thread got me thinking, do we have a replacement for r/outside on Lemmy? That sub was pretty entertaining at times

    If the downvoters want to buy more votes mine only costs $500. You can send you money to the nearest food pantry or food bank.

    This is reformist language at best…

    Edit: Sorry for my harsh words. It’s just … the raw urgency and essence of the original criticisms here have just been squeezed out when converted into gamer-code language…
