Here’s a take: If you are checking the “wokeness” of games to decide whether you boycott them or not, I’m sorry to say, you’re a fucking loser and you need some friends… 🤷🏼✌️ #gaming #pcgaming #woke #bluesky

"Video games cause violence" Meanwhile, me reloading my save because I accidentally made one of the characters sad

In fairness, they really pulled a “No Man’s Sky” on this one. But does the excuse AAA games releasing in such a sorry state? And FYI I love Cyberpunk 2077… #gaming #cyberpunk2077

🧵6. I hear some people say that gamers expectations have become unrealistic. How!? How can that be when everyone and their f**king cat owns Stardew Valley!? #indiegames

🧵7. Anyway. I could go on. But I wanna hear your thoughts! Let me know what you think of the AAA gaming industry currently. #gaming

🧵4. Are developers just too big for their own good? 100s of people working tirelessly means a lot of salaries to pay out. Are the costs of making games hurting the industry? #games

🧵5. Who is pushing these unrealistic deadlines? Publishers? Shareholders? Either way, what we, the consumer end up with is a buggy alpha test that costs £50! But sure, a million patches will fix it one day, aye CDProjectRed? #pcgaming

🧵2. Along with unrealistic deadlines, this leaves no room for innovative game design with unique and engaging mechanics. This point is made strikingly clear by looking at the indie market. #gamedev

🧵3. Remember the Middle Earth games with the amazing ‘Nemesis’ system? Whatever happened to interesting game design like that? They took a risk and it payed off! #indiedev

🧵1. The need to meet profit margins means attempting to appeal to as many gamers as possible. This leads to bland game design filled with hand holding tutorials and vanilla mechanics. #bluesky
