Sounds about right.

The publisher has been pressing hard on paid stuff in payday 2 and payday 3 didn’t have enough content / solid enough gameplay to replace it. Also there’s denuvo, and denuvo is not giving a great first impression.

2.5/10 joke, really not hitting the right humor for this community.

1/10 joke, missing a solid punchline.

2/10 joke

Could have had more uniqueness.

Yeah I had to realize that as well at some point.

Used to play games and I was so focused on gameplay, I always thought “why even have a lot of art in there”. But then you realize if the art sucks, you wouldn’t even be giving it a chance.

And this extends to skins and stuff. If it’s “just cosmetics”, that still means there is some art that is now hidden unless you throw money at your screen. And depending on how much it is, the game might be way too boring without it. So you’re still buying bits of a game after the fact. And voila, we’re back to the reasons why DLCs suck.

I did, and I disagree with their decisions.

I can condense their article down to “we need money, and we can get it through ads, so we built our own ad network to preserve privacy”.

But I don’t like that. This decision does not exist in a vacuum. This comes after a number of other decisions leading me to believe they are shifting priority to making a profit. Telemetry being opt-out, pocket, selling ads on home screen, …

This is the icing on a shit cake and I’m sorry, Mozilla destroyed their value proposition about half way into their chain of bad decisions.

If you still wanna use Firefox, fine. I don’t care about that. I don’t understand why, but that’s ok, it’s your god damn decision. But I wanna alert everyone else that Mozilla is not who they used to be and it’s time to reevaluate why you use the browser you do.

Saying this is an ignorant take is invalidating all the experiences I’ve had configuring Firefox back to being privacy friendly, and I don’t appreciate you calling me ignorant for that. If you disagree, that’s fair, but you can do it without attacking my credibility. And doing so by giving actual reasons would definitely help your case.

Been called an idiot for saying that I wouldn’t trust Firefox as far as I can throw it like 2 months ago after they made telemetry opt out.

I can’t believe that someone who is privacy conscientious would just stick to their guns rather than watching out for their privacy.

I just hope someone else picks up the shards and runs with it and then we can all just focus on making them better instead of getting riled up over a god damn browser lol.

POV: you are sitting in a comment section right before all of the arch enthusiasts start proudly proclaiming their allegiance. You know it’s calm for the moment, but the storm is most certainly scheduled.

Played it on PC and it’s really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.

Yeah honestly this makes a lot of sense to me.

Omg I wanna go there now

Their lawyers are vocally rubbing their hands rn

Why does this analogy make sense to me for some reason?

Hopefully this makes some of the Firefox shills finally realize it’s time to change our recommendations.

I’ve heard so much shit lately about Firefox, it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

We gotta go more stupid

Indeed they seem to be particular proud about all the right and wrong things.

As a German, fair enough.

Funnily enough, I think Jesse and James both had their own episodes where they split from team rocket and somehow become very reasonable.

I loved those because it made the plot a little bit more nuanced and interesting.

Yeah I’m just trying to raise this take every once in a while in the hopes of making systematic progress on this issue at some point ^^

That’s very well put
