| 7 days ago | mod | Restored Comment They understand money and y'all sold out rather than remaining independent. Capitalists are narcissistic exploiters, they are sociopaths, they don't feel emotions, and they especially don't have empathy. So yes, they fundamentally don't understand art. They understand people will pay for it. by  godsammitdam ( godsammitdam@lemmy.zip ) |
| 7 days ago | mod | Restored Comment Exactly. They see the surveillance tech and say "well, the people in the book did it wrong. If I did it with my super smart boy brain, it would be great, and I'd make a ton of money doing it!"
The video goes into that. There's also a book I've been eyeing called The Nerd Reich that goes into it more deeply. by godsammitdam ( godsammitdam@lemmy.zip ) |

Because yes, they ABSOLUTELY miss the point of satire, parody, metaphor, etc.

| 3 years ago | mod | Removed Comment This is the best summary I could come up with:
---
If this hugely ambitious city builder simulation would have been released some time ago, patched over and over again, and updated with some gap-filling DLC, it would be far better off.
Or its technical debts could have been slowly paid off to let its underlying strengths come through, as with Disco Elysium or The Witcher 3.
It has a rough-draft look when compared to its predecessor, which has accumulated eight years of fixes, DLC, and mods to cover a dizzying array of ideas.
Worst of all, it was highly anticipated by fans, some of whom have high-end systems that still can't properly run the sluggish game.
When he was at EA, Zubek saw how a game slipping from one year to the next could mean an entire division falls short of expectations.
Slipping can make it harder to convince a publisher to hire or reassign the people you really need to finish a game.
