I always thought there’s a line people draw when they do bdsm so the fun doesn’t become torture.

You just crossed it using a 6m pole in order to land as far as possible from the line.

Good riddance! We are finally going to be free from that chinese spyware used to influence people minds and create an addiction stronger than drugs on people of all ages but especially in minors!

Now we can go back to having only american spyware apps doing that.

Indeed. Today’s problem is that graphical fidelity takes so much of the development time and resources that the rest of the aspects of the game are completely left aside.

Yeah, I can count how many freckles this character has in their face, but that’s all these games offer now, and I don’t need to count freckles, I can do that in real life. I want to have a good time with the game.

I’m not really sure it’s completely like that. In the early 2000’s we had “beautiful” games (aka the most advanced graphics that technology could afford) but games were fun.

Devs invested in graphics, but they also invested in innovative formulas, in gameplay… You could tell a game was unique and beautiful.

Today, AAA games are just a checklist of things that must be included (almost none pointed at making the player have fun) with an incredible level of detail that makes every single leave of every tree move independently from the rest.

They focused so much on hyper realistic graphics that they forgot about the most important part of a game: being fun.

I’ve sunk way more hours in an “ugly” game such as space haven or balatro this year than in any ultra beautiful (and void of fun) AAA game.
