Or the French revolution, for that matter

I'm just really tired of telling people about the obvious, and every time history keeps repeating

I don't believe it's just convenience, it's as you said, people don't care about the long term. In anything.

A big corporate platform (or whatever else, like, say, oil companies vs climate protesters) will always have more resources, whether it's for development or marketing, so people will always have to be a bit willing to not have full convenience for a better world

If we don't think about the long term, what are we even thinking of instead?

That's the ironic thing about it. Because they're so safe it becomes completely bland.. basically all bit ensuring it won't be as successfully anyway

They're being so safe it's unsafe

I mean, the thing that people watch twitch for is mainly the person/people on the stream, the game is a backdrop, rarely the actual focus

And not everyone is ego-centric like you're saying? I mean, there's literally tens of thousands of streamers. Don't just look at the biggest ones that probably mainly appeal to kids, i.e. a different audience than you. Chances are the kind of people you would enjoy watching are just smaller and more niche

Okay then, hope people won't complain when things go to shit again

Just forever on march towards the inevitable due to convenience

I can't even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they're not gonna go to an alternative discord

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service

Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it's not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities

Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we're far from that point still

I do

Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it's a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard

Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go "if you want to ever talk with me again, go here" and people would follow. It's a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on

Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don't really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn't do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run

You know, I think it's interesting how this used to be considered the nutjob's territory just a bit over 10 years ago. And now, at least for the USA, this might be the thing that keeps you out of jail.

It's kinda frightening

What about the publisher take two tho

The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean's studio.

I mean, I get that I don't have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable

In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change
