*they do whatever the people want

Well that’s definitely a whole other level to the image. Kinda gross, kinda inspiring. I think I hate-love it now.

They are saying one uses imagination and the other doesn’t.

The products are made to male the owners Roch not benefit the users.

I didnt say to destroy it, let it have its natural life cycle. Live service games very clearly have a life cycle that ends. You can debate whether companies are deceptive or not, and we should fix that issue if it exists, but preserving art for arts sake is quickly a fools errand and driven by ego. If you don’t see the obvious pitfalls of curating such a collection then you simply feel bad about things dieing.

Things in life don’t last forever, accept that. Some live service games last upwards of 10 years, like the original The Crew did. Some last decades and have multiple snapshots of the games development, like WoW or Runescape. Most offline games are sold with perpetual ownership, so that’s already solved there. Save a copy of it yourself if its so important.

Sure companies should communicate this reality better but that doesnt change the fact that games will die.

Presumably because you want what they can provide you. Its not rocket science my guy.

And then what? Why are we storing these old games. Move on with your lives. Art doesnt last forever, its not supposed to. But you want publishers to put in extra effort to preserve them, and then have governments put in effort to preserve them, apparently forever.

Its funny how its the people playing the games who want them preserved forever rather than the people making the games, isn’t it. The people making them have pointed out multiple problems with this idea, but who cards about them right?

Removed by mod

I think its meant to be functional?

I dont know it qualifies as art if its so far removed from the creator that you know nothing about them.

That was a music video? Being a DJ is a live thing.

Aren’t you simply saying we can’t be wrong about social constructs? Does that make them meaningless?

At a certain point aren’t we just making stuff up to make ourselves feel better? Obviously someone can be wrong about their own gender much the same as someone can be wrong that what they created is art.

Video games are more like a theme park set up by a group of people. Not all entertainment is art by default.

What’s it like to get in that line of business? Some sort of schooling needed?

Cheese makes my insides feel like they are exploding.

Hot take, cheese ruins nearly any type of pizza.

I’d actually need to make something more like a 10 fps black and white silent film. I’ll make sure I send you the first copy if I make it.

Great description. Its so sudden, and the feeling of falling away from reality is intense. I wish I could draw what I saw and share it with other people.

I’m not sure why organized religion is getting a pass here.
