Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.
I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.
If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.

Something that has stuck with me for years now is that Ed Brubaker has made more in residuals for the 5 second cameo he had in Captain America: The Winter Soldier than he ever did at Marvel literally creating the comics it’s based on.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion.
You could hire 10,000 of the smartest people in the games industry, paying them each $100k a year, for an entire decade, and only spend $10bn.

I still listen to tracks from Let it Die. Literally the only memorable thing about the game.
If you're so intent on skipping anything interesting about development, why not just skip to three months after release and delist your game now.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.
