No one CEO can ruin it.
Right now we’re seeing a cycle of people jumping ship from one corporate-owned platform to another, until that new platform inevitably turns to shit. But as long as people keep doing that, corporate-owned platforms will inevitably turn to shit. The only true solution is to cut corporations out of the picture with platforms that are designed to be unruinable.
How would you even go about classifying this? It sounds like you’re saying games aren’t allowed to be too fun.
Besides the most obviously evil corporations everyone hates - Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Nestle, etc?
I have a deeply personal grudge against Sega for how they repeatedly butchered my favorite series. I’m also carrying a grudge against Capcom for lying about SF5 on Linux, they posted that announcement and then just never mentioned it again, still to this day.
As others have mentioned, mbin doesn’t auto-upvote. I didn’t even know that Lemmy does apparently. Seems like something that really ought to be standardized across platforms, because now it feels like mbin is at a ‘disadvantage’.
IMO, ideally you just shouldn’t be able to vote on your own posts/comments at all.
If they try to assault you on wakeup, just DP.
I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Balatro does not contain loot boxes/gacha. In a world where so many modern AAA games are exploiting all kinds of shady dark patterns, Balatro took off by not doing any of that shit. It’s just a sincerely fun game, and it sounds like you’re literally just complaining that it’s too fun and that should somehow be policed.
