No, boycotts are not a corporate death knell. No one is saying that. LITERALLY no one is saying their personal decision or reasoning is the cause of this news.

EVERYONE ks pkinting at shitty things Ubisoft does, says, it caused them to not bjy it and likely is impacting others' decisions... then you come along going, "NUHUH NUHUH, Ubisoft isn't losing money because YOU didn't buy it!"

My dude... we FUCKING KNOW THAT!! We're saying UBISOFT shot themselves in the foot with shitty behavior. This article is literally about the effects of people not buying en masse, and you're saying that the NEWS WE ARE READING is not possible...

Just stop. Just stop. Boycotts most often do not work, but THIS IS NOT A BOYCOTT!! This is people explaining why they stopped giving Ubisoft money. Holy fuck, you are good at doubling down on a bad idea.

The irony of you constantly telling people they don't actually know why they do not pay Ubisoft...

My dude... We're TELLING YOU why we aren't buying it. You're just too dumb and stubborn to accept the truth. Obstinance makes you pathetic, not correct.

Well if they didn't even notice an axis on a graph, they might be too stupid for a graph...

My point was only to say that 5% is very mich visible on a 0-100% graph.

5% is noticeable unless the graph is under 20 pixels tall. Even then, dithering or antialiasing techniques could make it visible.

Well, they are clowns, you can't knock them too hard for trying to juggle so much. Now if only they could learn people don't want to watch clowns any more...

Yea, don't have to render all the pixels for full enjoyment, though I bet things like the UI would love the extra detail.

Either way, the industry has a greedy corpo problem, not a technological limitation problem.

The screens getting better pushes directly against graphics processing increases. More pixels takes more power, after all.

Not that it's any excuse... Modern phones are more powerful than the Switch, by a long shot.

I really wish mobile games could be good, but this is modern capitalism: It's not about careers and good products. It's about extracting wealth.

Yes, the guy I replied to. They need to walk to their nearest college and learn how, "reading between the lines" is NOT about applying any and all conspiracy thinking to a subject...

Yea, eating up loads of screen space for controls and having a tiny screen are big negatives.

Processing power is waaaay less too, but that's been a non-issue for indie quality style graphics for some years, now.

The entire market works off of freemium and piecemeal/ad models, too, which as Tim refuses to admit; people also hate!

Are you SERIOUSLY this stupid and triggered? They've said NOTHING about "woke" anything, and your dumb ass goes off like this is gamer gate? Fuck you. Fuck you, you illiterate moron.

This is about how Epic, the corporarion Tim Sweeny leads, a corpo that's a big player in the games industry, is FAILING to identify that it is quality, not budget that determines if a game sells.

... and then you come in here saying GamerGate shit. Fuck off, you inflammatory dumbass. Seems like you need to get past Reddit culture, troll.

rofl! The difference vetween a progressive and liberal is NOT just when they decide to intervene in corporations...

American liberals want to means test EVERYTHING that could concievably go to a poor person. A progressive realizes the red tape is fucking stupid and expensive in its own right. Remember the COVID funds? Sucked up by megacorporations more than small businesses like it was supposed to be for? Notice how American liberals didn't go after those corporations or really care that the money instantly dried up for smaller fries?

Yea, American liberals are ABSOLUTELY closer to American conservatives in practicality. It doesn't matter how many polite words they use if the end result is FUNCTIONALLY THE SAME. No, conservatives wouldn't have given any money to poor people, but as already said, liberals didn't care that corporations with lawyers that could push all the red tape got the money, not small businessesthat actually neededrhe help.

They BOTH serve to drain the government of public funds. You've just fallen for the pleasantries they put on the same negative slant of actions. No, liberals are not fascists themselves, but they're always, always dumb enough to make things suck enough that fascists sound nice to fools.

You're being downvoted, but that is EXACTLY how this otherwise benign moment will be weaponized by the right.

Republicans WILL share this as a slander, and the Dems will utterly fail to clarify the truth. They suck at clearing up Republican BS partly because clearing up lies always takes longer than speaking the lie, but the Dems have a track record of falling on their ass in the attempt.

The ratchet effect is real, which is why "enlightened centrism" is nothing but a moronic farce that runs cover for the ratchet mechanism. Republicans are literally vile, selfish pieces of shit that do not know what America stands for (or rather do not like what America stands for), and they MUST be treated as such.

Literal traitors should NEVER get the benefit of any doubt.
