Very true. I vaguely recall someone on another thread saying a game is "unplayable" if it's not running 4k resolution and that PC gamers with 4k monitors are the majority

I'd say Space Marine 1 did a significant job in making the franchise more nerd-mainstream. Before it, it was the Dawn of War game and expansions. Slow and steady growth of awareness, I think
One of the best cautionary tales for developers
500+ on Steam, another 500+ on GOG. Nearly nothing played. Ugh.
Nah, the problem is that AI is only being used to generate static content, "finished" assets. Where are the npcs with organic dialogue and more realistic reactions to player input? That's the AI that I've seen being promised and not being delivered anywhere.
That'd still be better than Xbox S, Xbox Series X, Xbox One S
Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It's over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between "actual history or hollywood history" for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it's clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven't begun my factory yet.
Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that "most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we've had time to review"
Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system
Right now at least, AI is being more of a headache than anything in coding. Microsoft itself was responsible for one such gaffe in May, as an actual coder had to tell the AI to fix an error, again and again, as each time it'd make a different mistake
The main problem is that the platforms have a money incentive to keep spam and scam posts online. They pay meta and TikTok for boosts, the scam gets boosted, all done.
Frankly, it seems like the problem could be solved by forcing the platforms to get a Know Your Customer level of information and putting that info on every boosted post, so people know who's paying for that.
Buuuut, it's Brazil. Justice and fairness only ever happen as side effects from judges' decisions
