Most gamers won’t even hear about it. Just seeing the article already puts you in the “highly informed” bucket

From another comment it sounds like there is pushback from users when someone behaves poorly, which is good, but I don’t see why anyone would want that experience to be the norm. Just libertarian things I guess

You don’t need ai for that https://store.steampowered.com/app/2859220/Vuntra_City/

Yup, seems like they want to run a nazi bar. From their wiki (archive):

nothing that a player can type in public chat (aside from the exceptions given below) can result in a  ban or any form of official reprimand. You will not be banned for anything you say, aside from spamming. This includes but is not limited to:

• Swearing;
• Personal attacks;
• Racial or cultural insults;
• Asking to be banned.

It’s worded a little confusingly, but there is a list of exceptions further down the page. The server is hosted in Germany so the expected symbols are removed if built in-game, but most of the other exceptions are to keep the game playable.

Apologies for replying so strongly 👍

I did, it was full of speculation based on something you admitted you had no idea about

Drop the wild speculation, there is zero reason to play devil’s advocate. If you cared to do any reading there are a myriad of examples of this company’s llms pushing harmful behavior.

Yes, there are probably other factors. There always are. It might not be what you meant, but you are saying that the companies selling these products should get off for free because they “would’ve done it anyway”

The biggest improvement for me, even viewing at a distance, is that I can disable anti aliasing. If it’s rendered at a high enough resolution jaggies aren’t an issue

Americans will use anything but the metric system

I think people losing their livelihood is a good thing!

Sadly not surprising when so many get laid off ☹️

I still wanted the new Sniper Elite game but didn’t want to spend $20… so I got 5 for $5! I haven’t done story mode, just the invasion mode where you try to kill other people while they play their story missions. Since it’s a 2022 game most of the people still playing are very good, but after a day I’m at 8 kills!

We’re also about halfway up the mountain in Baby Steps, it’s slow going with many falls

BF6 looks so dang good, I loved Operation Firestorm in BF3!

Whacked! It was a third person party combat game for original xbox, my brother and I played it SO MUCH growing up. We still sometimes play and have fun, but anyone else that tries to play with us hates it

That’s usually how it is at the start, there’s no real sorting the first few days. By Thursday and Friday the slop should start to fall off

You’re right! The guy that published the info had a funny disclaimer:

Pro-tip, before replying, know that even seeing this post likely puts you into that hyper enthusiast bucket, so the actions of you and your immediate cohort likely do not match those of the general gaming audience.

Oooh, I remember seeing that somewhere in the first game!

Ah that makes sense 😆

What is coop like? I didn’t know it was a feature, I’m watching my partner play and it looks fun!

A majority! Some players buy a few but it’s mostly supported by a few whales that buy everything

This isn’t surprising to me, with so many free to play games and the fact that this survey included mobile gamers. Still an interesting stat!
