Amy Hennig is great, but what? Are you saying Uncharted 1-3 is the whole PlayStation brand identity?

If you believe everything you read on the internet:

Pushing Daisies... but it might be coming back? 16 years after being cancelled?

It's a PC Console for people who DON'T like PCs.

I want one because I don't have a modern PC that can run games. I have a PS5, Switch 2, and a MacBook. I hate windows, I don't want to deal with Linux or assembling a PC from components. I'm missing out on a lot of Steam games that I want to play. I don't want to sit in my office and play games, I want to relax on my couch in my living room and play them.

This is for people like me. There's a lot of us. We're the ones that find piracy too much effort so we keep giving money to streaming services.

I assume you're talking about the Michelin Guide for restaurants that was started by the tyre company. If that's true, are you saying that Trip Advisor is Michelin in this metaphor? If not, what are you saying?

10 reviews means the developer has some combination of the following:

• friends/family/classmates
• developers on the actual game
• multiple Steam accounts with the same owner

10 is essentially 0 and cannot be extrapolated into sales.

I agree that if game development is a hobby and not a career, this isn't a problem for those developers.

I also submit that if you are attempting to make money from your efforts and don't yet have a following, and can't afford a marketing budget, and have actually made something unique, interesting, or otherwise worthwhile, it is more difficult to stand out in a market whose signal to noise ratio is continuously and exponentially growing noisier.

I too believe that the ornithopter should replace the passenger jet.

Yes, this is a valid choice. Live amongst your family and friends and everything you cherish, or become a survivalist and abandon all human connection.

You edited to add a lot of projection to your post. I am literally complaining about rent and bills in the city I grew up in and have been living in for 35 years. I have very few extravagances and am typing to you on a 5 year old phone with a small crack along the edge of the screen. You make it sound like I should sell one of my yachts and shut the fuck up. In truth I'm about to lose my contract job at the end of next month and am unsure how quickly I can find another.

Living under capitalism forces you to adapt or perish. I hate money. I hate having to spend time thinking about investments and retirement and savings and down payments and credit scores. Cost of living in my city is insane and I'm terrified that if my income doesn't increase every year, I won't be able to keep up with escalating rent and bills. In order to keep my life as it is, I am forced to think like a capitalist.

When everything around me is becoming more expensive, I must also increase my personal profits.

Ah, that distinction was lost on me.

Doesn't that depend on what you're developing? I've long thought that I would love to be able to volunteer using my skillset instead of just doing something that is unspecialized like working in a soup kitchen or something. I could write an app that tracks and reserves open beds in a homeless shelter so people who need a place to sleep don't waste their time commuting to somewhere with no vacancy. That could make smaller (vetted) locations more viable and essentially make AirBnB for the unhoused. Why isn't there a place to go to propose and contribute to projects like this that are focused on making someone's life better instead of making shareholders more profit? It seems like you could convince a non-capitalist government to fund such a thing and employ people to assist in maintaining the project, facilitating compliance with existing or new regulation, and coordinating communication with agencies/organizations that would essentially be the clients of the development team (to create feature requests and illuminate challenges).
