I have a dream of making a game of my own one day, and I have already decided to self-publish it. It’s the safest move.
It’s pretty easy on PC, with Steam itself and itch.io being pretty good for indies. Earning enough money from your game is a different story…
Yeah, I just knew Blizzard had to be on the list
It shouldn’t be legal to report high earnings and lay off a large portion of your staff, that feels like something a poorly performing company would do
Wow there. We can’t go around regulating things. What do you think we are COMMUNISTS?!?
Almost none of this is unique to the gaming industry; it’s all symptoms of under-regulated capitalism.
Yes, but the game industry has faced severe layoffs the last couple years while profits soar ever higher and higher and executives get bigger boats. So it’s relevant.
PC Gamer usually posts good takes, shame about the comment section sometimes
I’ve noticed as well. Why does it seem like so many people hate PC Gamer?
I have no idea but if I had to guess, I’d say the audience of PC Gamer is PC gamers, and the average PC gamer fucking sucks
Hank Green actually posted a video relevant to this yesterday. He was reading a Fox News article about a machine that can turn C02 into fuel that an internal combustion engine can use.
He then scrolled to the comments and saw all the posts talking about climate change being a hoax. He says it would be very easy to assume the average Fox News reader is a climate change denier. If you were to ask him how many people in the US deny climate change is real, he’d guess around 50%. However, surveys have consistently shown it is less than 10%. It is a minority of people. His point was that people leaving stupid comments are not the average person, they’re just really vocal, and try not to assume stupid comments are reflective of the average person’s beliefs.
I doubt that the average PC gamer is commenting on those articles.
how i see it, pcgamer sometimes has high effort posts like this and other times has some really low effort posts, sometimes almost cyclical as they often use the same image pool over several topics (e.g its a meme that anything witcher related, pcgamer will use geralt in a tub as a header image)
because of the less serious posts, it kinda blots out the more serious ones.
