"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

Ken from Street Fighter? Girl
Mega Man? Kirby
Kirby's Epic Yarn? You'd think Kirby, but no, actually they're Girl.
due to dysphoria i only play games where I can play as a girl or a kirby. Gordon Freeman is a type of Kirby. Master Chief is a type of girl.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

VR wasn’t worth having to live in a world where Palmer Luckey can share his opinions and have anyone take them seriously.

Who the hell still eats fast food‽

It's never been good but the compromise was that it was fast and cheap.

It's no longer cheap, it hasn't been fast in a while, and again, it's not good.

BTW, it really does appear that Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte.

another way to make games faster is to not fire over half the game industry in a quest to make number go up
Food for thought... There's a lot of talk about speeding up game development, given how many recent games took 5-7 years to make. But many of those were hampered by the switch from Unreal 4 to 5. And ALL of them lost months to covid. Perhaps one way to make games faster is to not have a pandemic
I learned about them from the “around the world” video on MTV.
