seems like they're giving up on PC gaming entirely in the future imo

me too Mario, me too

It's more likely that the devs are not being given the time or resources to do this kind of thing properly. Their bosses are too concerned with what will save money and generate shareholder value.

Arc Raiders launched as a feature complete game, mostly bug free, well optimized, with a sufficient amount of functioning servers, and with genuinely innovative game design.

It sold incredibly well at 40 dollars. I've bought it 4 times myself.

Expecting every game to meet those criteria is not "absurd". It used to be par for the industry and it still should be.

AAA games from publicly traded corporations are just absurdly underwhelming. They want us to think these standards are absurd so they can keep their minimal effort bullshit gravy train running. It's not going to work anymore. That's the free market. Adapt or die.

Aka the market has rejected your overpriced bullshit. Adapt or die. Welcome to the free market.

It doesn't matter if you're a mega corporation and previously had the winning formula. You adapt to meet evolving market demand or you die.

These c suites got too comfy doing everything to only please their shareholders. They forgot that pleasing their consumers wasn't optional. We are your money supply. If you lose us, it all comes crashing down.

Not only that but E33 showed people what ex-ubisoft devs could do when you actually let them be creative.

Let's give Ubisoft to North Korea then

Allowing the working class to never have any kind of power is the highest priority of the ultra wealthy. That's the only real threat to their own position and gravy train.

that was the case long before social media showed up. those people were always going to end up superficial and thus incompatible with you even if social media didn't exist. consumerism is what caused the obsession with ego and image. social media is just another stage of consumerism.

The conservatives and white supremacists on sites like funnyjunk are always complaining about how hard it is to date because women don't like the MAGA shit and the lack of equality they support.

Extremist ideologues are insufferable in general and nobody wants to be with them. From maga weirdos to misandrist radical feminists. Ideology is poisonous to peacefulness, good faith behavior, and rationality.

You sound like me when I was young and stupid. Have a good one my dude

Your expectations are too high and your cynicism is clouding your judgment.
