Yeah, I don’t think it is, but it’s the end result that concerns me.

The UK is the testing grounds. After they figure it out, they’ll be rolling it out everywhere else.

Uhh the game looks awesome from what the trailer shows. I want to play it, and I’m already hyped for it. The combat also looks better than what it was in Horizon 1.

I honestly don’t care if they just copy games like this. I’m too tired of awesome concepts & IPs being completely misused & wasted by game publishers.

I’m hoping Tencent wins this one, because I wanna play the game. If they do win, I bet “Monster Hunter x Horizon + conventionally attractive characters” would sell like hotcakes.

Which sucks because I did use to think that “Made in the USA” meant better quality.

That’s true, but we could subsidize the cost of labor too. People make a living wage, but the company pays less than that because government covers the difference.

Maybe the USA should heavily invest in the industry of the USA, just like China does, in order to keep up? No, then USian companies would have oversight & have to meet expectations, and we all know that they wouldn’t want that.

If it means developers won’t make “live-service”/trash games anymore, we should hasten the SKG movement.

I’m guessing they mean they’ll be erasing the records set while competing as a female, which makes sense.

Harassment sure, but not abuse.

So they are ok with spending hundreds of millions of dollars, just not in any way that actually improves the city for the people that live in it?

It’s not about the money, it’s just misanthropy.

Lol I think they’re already using the same technology that is used by AI to do biochemistry, so I didn’t mean “ask chatGPT.”

Maybe use some that AI shit to engineer some microbes that can eat plastic. Or I dunno make less plastic waste?

I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.

I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.

I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.

Oh ok, I thought it stood for make America hate again, but that works too

*MAGA?

Yes, the first humans on the Americas showed up around 10-25 thousand years ago. But the first immigrants, by definition, would have been the first humans to show up after the First Humans to show up.

The first humans in the Americas would be what we call native or indigenous Americans today, but the first immigrants to the Americas, according to our history, would be the first Europeans to come here.

Puritans, and that’s who the pilgrims were.
