It's nice to be reminded of the power we have in gaming. Sometimes its easy to forget when game companies just do what they want without our consideration.
Yep. Companies cannot exist without customers but they have the mentality of "either way we will make profit because there are tons of people" + "people pay lots of money for rubbish so they would pay us too" + "no matter what you will buy our games!!!". It makes them lose touch with common people and reality because they cannot see how real people live from their mental Babel Tower they look down upon, however what they mistake is what they see is their delusion of how real people are when in reality what they look at is just a shit on the ground lol.
They know they don't profit in their most desired way, so to "profit" they wanna reduce their costs. That's where AI comes in. If they fail to profit they will fall one by one. For this goal they do a lazy job and try to justify their BS in anyway as if this is what is "normal". It's not. They trying to reduce sense of quality of people and make them okay with buying a broken game that's really empty just for $80.
So as a customer people have 2 choices:
1) Don't buy their game and let them fall. Back then we didn't let them fall to support their good games. Instead of taking the hint they intentionally releasing bad games. We pay for the budget of your game, so then release a decent game. If you don't release a decent game then fall to the abyss of your own BS lol.
2) Buy their game and let them ruin the video game industry more and more by brainwashing and shifting the sense of "what is a game" and "what you should play".
However there is a 3rd option here, which is my preference:
3) Let them fall. Make people don't buy their game. No more "buy it if you liked it". No more being okay with DRM, DLC, Denuvo... all the "D" of dicks they stabbed into the ass of the industry lolol. Just ignore their existence, but make indie video game industry supported in any way you can. Develop and release your own games, buy indie games. Advertize indie games on social media but throw AAA games into rubbish bin where they belong. This is even way worse than 2010-2015 era now.
And then companies are like: "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Haters gonna hate. And so is customers." so they justify they actually releasing decent games when they are not to ignore what customers think about their rubbish. I imagine when people negative bomb AAA games on Steam because it's so buggy it's unplayable they are like "ah they just hate. they have no idea about inflation so we cannot even afford eggs. They have no idea about video game budgets and how much work we put on it". And then some random guy who think he is hero but actually a protector of whatever terrorist there is in society defends these rubbish companies saying "You never developed a game before so you have no idea what you talking about. Stop complaining. It's a 'you issue'. You're offending them. Touch grass". lol.
