Shocking. When your entire customer base asks “why?” When you announce a product that’s usually a good indicator. Also wasn’t it like 800 dollars?

That’s a huge problem I have with the franchise though! It’s been their cash cow so every game has some sort of riff on the whole future story bit, but they can’t commit to any of it and there’s no end in sight. So I refuse to get attached to their overarching story because I have no confidence that it will every complete!

The two scenarios that will play out are (and I’m not saying which one is likely, just these are the only two):

• Assassins’ Creed continues to be huge -> They will never end the overarching story and it will keep trickling in
• Assassin’s Creed dies out -> They won’t know it until their last one bombs so bad that the suits never make another, leaving it open

So why be invested in the story at all?

Did they really? Oh my god please tell me your joking, that a company as modern as docker got a freaking oracle CEO. They pulled a Jack Barker. Did he bring his conjoined triangles of success?

Almost all of them. Forgejo handles containers already for example

And the permission of the peertube admins. A single channel on YouTube can easily be over a TB. Just casually dumping a TB or two of storage onto their wallets is going to cause them to notice.

Not crypto, blockchain. When done correctly and you don’t have every user trying to calculate the next hash for some pennies it works pretty well. Computing the hash when an action happens like a purchase is fairly trivial compared to mining.

Crypto started the concept of the blockchain, at the end though it’s just a distributed immutable audit log. The hash is required, but if done correctly, it’s trivial.

This is surprisingly one of the few actual useful uses of blockchain. Business tried to shove it in everywhere and it didn’t make sense because blockchain is a way to audit federated separate instances - which businesses are not. They’re a single monolithic structure, and they don’t need the trust - they already have it. They’re themselves, they just have to trust their own internal teams.

We, on the otherhand, are the perfect use for it. A way to say X person paid Y person for this product on this day at this time, X person now has the authority to rate Y person for how they did. Immutable, impossible to fake.

Can confirm, I host a very small instance with a few niche communities. Many subscribers, I don’t know of any defeds against me though. Plus it’s how I expect the fediverse to really grow naturally. Join a general one but then smaller instances of more niche topics. Kudos OP!

I am zero surprised.

Yes, we get that, but I think they mean that when incels call women “females” it’s cringe as hell, because we know it’s coming from a place where they don’t think of women in a healthy way, so this comes off as stooping to their level

I’ve definitely noticed an uptick in anger, but that’s happened every time Reddit has pushed users away - nice thing is that they mellow out pretty quickly here

Boils down to how much are you willing to lose? Personally I do weekly

Wow I was interested to hear what your opinions were but nevermind after that comment.

Covid made it especially bad. Covid started five years ago. Started, like we first heard the term “Covid”

Holidays are a blur. I don’t remember individual years anymore, and every year I’m started at how quickly it became Christmas already.

Ffs we’re halfway through February already. I was just putting up the tree like 3 days ago.

Honestly that makes sense, they’re probably kicking themselves for it. They could have been the onlyfans or Patreon, and honestly back in the day I would have been for that

Hey maybe shadows will finally turn them around, I’m sure they did I’m something interesting and new with the game to get us to take notice.

For me it’s the arrogance. It’s the calling of themselves “AAAA” gaming and trying to push base prices of games past $100 and then making bland boring games. They think they’re amazing. This is their reality check. Their games are what I play when I have nothing, and I mean nothing else to play

Just you wait, gov is trying anything they can to change that
