I feel that this kind of genAI stuff is used by people who don’t have either the right tools, ability, time, or money to make a meaningful equivalent from scratch.
Focus on yourself, that way you will be better equipped to assist your family, then further, your friends. When you’ve succeeded in planning and providing for yourself and those closest to you, if you have enough, you can then share with the wider community.
Bottom up

In no way do you “have to” call this out.
I don't like calling this shit out directly, but at this point, I have to.
This one goddamn tweet helped spread so much misinformation about Rebirth.
2.21 MILLION was PEAK DAILY ACTIVE PLAYERS, NOT SALES. And the 91% drop? That was second-week PHYSICAL sales in JAPAN, not worldwide sales.
Resident Evil Requiem (RE9) had roughly an 85% drop in those same Japanese physical charts. So I guess that game sucks too? I can go tit for tat with this logic all day.
And Resonance peaked at roughly 43K concurrent Steam players. Does that mean it only sold 43K copies? See how ridiculous that sounds?
Over TWO MILLION daily active players at launch is a massive number.
I'm sick of seeing sales figures and player counts misrepresented, spread like wildfire, and used to fuel endless bullshit debates.
PLAYER COUNTS ARE NOT SALES. Jesus Christ, just do a modicum of research.
Money laundering happens in traditional art, movies, and other forms of entertainment media. No reason to suspect it doesn’t happen in video games, as well
Hot take: It's entirely reasonable to criticize how irresponsibly bloated Western game budgets have become.
We've reached a point where publishers defend mtx in $70 games as a necessity just to remain financially viable. This erodes good game design.
Meanwhile, developers in other countries are delivering ambitious games without $500 million budgets.
It absolutely needs to be questioned and criticized.
It's out of control.
I don’t think I have ever theory crafted so much for a game’s plot than I have for Xenogears. So much incredible material and so much for an imagination to play around with. I can’t stop thinking about that game right now.
Please don’t say anything, I’m just thinking out loud
You cannot win a Super Bowl scoring 12 points. Your opponent will get 24, even if you have a top defense.
Resident Evil, Raccoon City, 3rd person, open world, multiplayer, survival horror, PVPVE, DayZ, Arc Raiders, extraction, secret locations, quests, investigations, underground labs, sewers, top side, all of it.
That’d be kind of cool
