I disagree with your ban, even if I agree with the reason for it.
But saying Reddit doesn't ban people proves that you are either disingenuous or deeply ignorant. Reddit is infamous for banning dissenters. It's one of the big reasons I left for the greener (though still awfully ban-happy) pastures if Lemmy.
You use that seemingly as a means to discredit the site, but if you actually read the article, you'd see that it's very explicit about the speculative nature of its subject. It makes no false claims; it only describes an interesting (if improbable) theory and attempts to explain the rationale behind its inception. Seems above board to me.
Say it with me once again:
Fuck Nintendo.
They're the Disney of the video game industry.
I'm holding it to the bare minimum standards of a reasonable society. Just because we're used to how shitty things are doesn't mean we shouldn't at least plug our noses against the smell.
How very presumptuous of you. You're wrong, of course. If I was apathetic enough to ignore my civic duty, I wouldn't have commented to begin with; I'd've just downvoted and moved on.
Just because I protest the hypocrisy of the Democratic party and their candidate doesn't mean I prefer the unfiltered evil of the Republican party and theirs.
I'm not sure that widespread use of the platform is indicative of widespread love of the platform. People are entrenched, have sunk so much into it, and can't find acceptable alternatives (cries in Fediverse). I'd guess that most people still using the platform do so out of necessity/ obligation while wishing for something better.
The obvious answer is to abandon GaaS as a concept and focus making more great single player games like the ones that put Playstation into a clear lead in this generation of the console wars.
However, we've seen that a massive failure in the space isn't enough to deter the truly greedy coughWBcough, so who knows?
Can you explain how you came to that conclusion?
The way I understand it, generative AI training is more like a single person analyzing art at impossibly fast speeds, then using said art as inspiration to create new art at impossibly fast speeds.
That was the case when GTAV launched, but GTAO has been available as a free standalone game for at least a couple years now.
I don't care for it myself, but I can see the appeal. The core gameplay of GTAO is solid and very driven by emergent socialization and competition, so it's no big surprise people spend way too much money on it.
But hey, if those whales are financing the development of GTAVI, I can live with it.
Disinformation or common sense?
