Insidious propaganda.

Honestly I’m really happy with how itch.io is handling it. Making sure they still get their money, but quickly reintroducing the games, and telling us the exact reason why they had to disable those games in the first place. Great management.

Yeah they did look kinda cool, but I’m staying cautious for now, especially as long as it’s $60+.

Alexa, fasse das ganze in 10 wörtern oder weniger zusammen.

Das erklärt einiges. Dann verstehe ich total dass du dich da abkapselst. Du findest sicher Menschen die dich mehr wertschätzen, aber versprich mir dass du nich aufgibst und auch immer Mal wieder soziale Sachen machst um nach neuen Menschen zu suchen :)

Ich habe Mal meinen gesamten Freundeskreises verloren weil da einige Leute hinter meinem Rücken mich ausgeschlossen haben, und ich habe nach einem langen und einsamen Prozess Menschen gefunden die mein Vertrauen verdient haben.

Well the price is $80+. GAMES with higher prices tend to do poorly a lot of the time. Additionally, this is a multiplayer game, so less people buying for the high price also means lobbies might be more on the empty side, which takes away the fun. And then there is also an argument that high prices cover a lower expectation of sales. Although this one might be my naivity about causality.

They talk about the game in abstract terms, and in a way where the hype seems to be more important than the content of the game. Which to me is always a bad sign. If the game is good, why not talk about specifically what the must fun parts were for you?

And even the leak itself suggests at least one person knows the price is a bad look for the content. So that person who has insight, knows it sounds bad. I will boldly infer, that that’s because it’s not worth $80. Which makes it also very probable that it’s far less than even a “moderate” $60, I can’t believe I’m saying this because that’s still an unbelievably high sum of money for a game.

And with all these points remember, battlefield does not have the best track record, so only some of these details indicating a fishy smell will sound the alarm and make me reconsider buying. I don’t have enough trust to extend towards games published under EA, for obviously reason.

I enjoyed 3 and 4. After that it was just a very drawn out crescendo.

It is quite clear to me. Here is an EU initiative which is looking for input from EU citizens on digital fairness and a lot of people have already mentioned this. If you are an EU citizen I highly recommend you do the same.

Now for Canada or the US, I assume it would be piggybacking onto a similar campaign that aims to introduce legislation through lobbying with representatives. However I do not feel qualified to speak on the process given the complexity and the amount of different jurisdictions possibly at play.

Um darauf anzuknüpfen, wenn man das Gefühl hat man muss immer selbst Initiative ergreifen in Geprächen dann ist das immer ne Sache über die man reden kann. Man kann natürlich auch einfach komplett den Kontakt ins leere laufen lassen, aber bei manchen Freunden ist es vielleicht schade drum wenn es dann an sowas scheitert. Denen kann man dann wenigstens das sagen, und vielleicht findet man eine neue Umgangsform.

Die echte Welt ist immer kompliziert.

These are the reasons that make me not want to consider buying the new battlefield.

I wish I had grand reasons to live but turns out it’s easier if it’s primitive. Eating tasty food, watching fun videos, petting cute animals.

Let politics be politics and philosophy be philosophy and turn to the small things for a bit.

Usher? Good artist.

Don’t underestimate food. You can be frustrated at life - but imagine being frustrated at life with a beak full of pizza.

Everything makes me think this one is silly

• the price
• the leaks
• the development cycle
• the way they talk about it
• the publisher
• the previous games

And I’m saying this as a former battlefield fan, they’ve thoroughly run the series into the ground. It’s genuinely impressive, it’s not even lucrative anymore I don’t think.

Lol the premium edition will $110.

They’re really trying to keep the server load low on launch are they. There’s gonna be a nice 6 players on a 64v64 map in a game mode that’s riddled with bugs.

For some reason I have a bigger urge to jump in the Atlantic than to buy this game.

It tastes very different to me.
