    I’m just dumbfounded why anyone would be openly okay with video games becoming unplayable. He flat out said he was fine with it. And like… Why though?

      He’s creating his own game. It’s like a corporation saying “workers unions are bad”.

        I had read something about how he’s faking work on the game, but admit I did not look into it.

          Oh didn’t know that. After looking into this guy I determined I better ignore him alltogether.

          Its not that complicated.

          He’s been saying he’s been working on his game for uh… 7 years now.

          When what he has actually, very obviously been doing, is twitch streaming 10 hours a day.

          Its the ‘Elon is magical multi tasking super genius’ bit, no, no obviously not, he’s lying, he just likes to be able to claim the identity of game dev because it allows him to act superior and authoritative as a commenter on video games.

          Dude is a fraud.

      He didn’t open with that statement, he buried it into his video. A bootlicking coward (or possibly an industry plant, given he got the blizzard job thanks to his dad) who bans dissent and won’t actually engage in any dialogues with the people he’s fucking over

      Because technically it’s a little extra work to make games playable after the end of life. It’s so much easier to just dump it and run to the next thing. Like Game of Thrones season 8. But the extra work makes it a quality product. It gives it a legacy. Same reason it’s a little extra work to add accessibility and pretty colors to my app. Sure my app would work without it but this shit should be an industry standard.
