  • Not that I disagree a stable studio has it benefits for all the reasons you listed, but even in the best of times most AAA is still not a normal 9-5 environment. Your expected to crunch just for your team to be laid off immediately after releasing something. Those studios were shedding labor like snake skin even before these bigger cuts. AAA has also been creatively bankrupt for literal decades at this point, executive boards churning out the same game year after year, with lootboxes and micro transactions being their greatest innovations in recent memory.

    I can agree we need stable studios, with leaders who prioritize their employees, creativity and passion - but come on, glazing these corpos as shepherds of some golden age of gaming is absurd. Innovation WILL continue without them.




  • I switched to Qobuz, their playlist migration process from spotify was seamless. However, i’m finding the recommendations and discovery lacking, and there’s not any kind of “radio”. On spotify I would just hit play and let it do its thing with Qobuz I have to be much more deliberate in finding music, when an album or playlist ends it just stops playing and it’s back to searching around for what I want to listen to next.

    With all that said it’s still a solid option, their catalog is pretty large, they seem to have a lot more genre diversity, anything lossless sounds great, and their editor curated playlists have introduced me to some good music. It’s worth doing a trial run to see if it’s right for you.
