I hate to say it, but good. I feel for those losing their jobs, but it's time to bring back smaller game dev companies that produce titles of substance.
"Bring back"? They already exist. There are an endless number of small devs out there. Most of them don't have good games, let alone "titles of substance", so you have to do some work yourself to find the good stuff rather than expecting a constant stream of approved content to just fall in your lap.
I think you know exactly what I mean, but just want to argue.
Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you'd probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.
I'm sorry I triggered you, earnestly. And your point of view is valid.
My comment wasn't intended to shoot down questions or discussions. I made my comment out of frustration, because on this platform there is a lot of nitpicking and assumption, but without actual open dialogue. Had the person I responded to seemed to be interested in my perspective, I would have gladly engaged. Instead, they seemed to have made an assumption about my meaning and told me I was wrong. I don't engage with people like that.
Nevertheless, I apologize.
