Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.

Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…

Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.

Yeah I enjoyed OW for a bit. Me and the gf would play mayhem mode when it was up. We stopped playing when they forced the change to OW2 and took some of the skins. I miss ow, but have no desire to play OW2.

Thankfully you can’t even purchase it anymore on Steam… What a debacle.

It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.

They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.

Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.

Hahah! This was us way back with EverQuest. She would die and have to do a corpse run and want to quit. Now she’s a video game addict…

Anyone else notice how happy everyone looks? Crazy how your happiness goes through the worth when you’re not trying to control what everyone else does…

Huh, this wasn’t even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!

Sure ya are, son! And repeating incorrect assumptions ad nauseam doesn’t make them correct. Siding with corporations? Acting like you know something because you don’t pay attention, much?

…You brag to your friends about internet arguments?

Yeah, good idea. I did. Not sure if it’s even possible with the lemmyverse though, as I have yet to come across a well organized ‘page’ like that yet.

I found this one, and checked it out a few times. It’s not where it needs to be. Is there a way to maybe sticky or have sub-topics specifically for things such as builds, or quest faq, or things like that? I think maybe some nesting or stickied topics would help. Some type of sub-categorization inside the actual (not sure what we call these, topics?).

I don’t have one, that’s why I’m trying to look for one! But when I find a good combo I will be posting it, yes.

Yeah I was wrong with the reddit comment. People like you living in your echo chambers is just an internet thing, not really a reddit thing. I’m ok with people like you on the internet calling me pathetic too, tbh. It means you had 0 comeback to the discussion. Look into argument debate info bro, what you just did is textbook ‘I lost’ stuff.

Stick to the gaming industry I guess. Not understanding that questioning something and saying there are much worse issues does not = defending. You might be better served pushing your compatriots to actually, I don’t know, get things they want in their contracts. My guess is you’re a late teen early 20s person working at gamestop for 12 years and feels that equals ‘working in the industry for 12 years.’ Good on you tho!

Yeah, I’ve run into this here. I posted a question to one of the posts asking why it was such a big deal, and all the sudden I’m a corporate defender. I don’t think this is a reddit, lemmy, or anything issue, it’s just internet and echo chambers. If you don’t reply with a “OMG YES SO TRUE OMG” then you are a dissident.

So, for my two cents: REDDIT was my go to for very biased but usually non-corporate info. For example, Baldurs Gate 3. In the past, I would research ‘BG3 builds reddit’ and just check out different builds people tried. It was always much better than going to a crappy corporate owned ‘gaming mag’ type website, where most of them just copy/pasted info from reddit anyway. It was a pretty good repository for info like that, and reddthat (or lemmy I guess) has not reached that level yet. I tried doing some searching on here for bg3 builds, almost nada.
