I want to shed light on a tactic that involves collecting data as you play, feeding this data into complex algorithms and models that then alter the rules of your game under the hood to optimize spending opportunities.

    Its not worse than I think. Its completely destroyed gaming as an art form. Now we get 20 million cookie cutter GaS games a year to exhaust us and make the gems harder to find. A ceaseless wheel of uninspired bullshit to feed to the content monkeys who just need the next bill of entertainment carbs shoved directly into their mouths. Its fucken sickening and has ruined most of what I loved. The only lights in this all consuming abyss are the scattered indie and FOSS releases floating out there on the web.

    Only if you are gen Z, any OG gamer sees that anti consumer bullshit a mile away.

    Vote with your feet folks!

      please. I highly doubt it was Gen Z that have propped up Star Citizen for god knows how many years. And it wasn’t Gen Z that kept buying minor revisions of Street Fighter 2 over, and over, and over again in the 90s.
