AC Shadows was to be this long tail game with a lot of content updates throughout its life and it’s not even getting a second expansion. That’s not a good sign, is it?
Assassin's Creed: Shadows won't get a second expansion to follow Claws of Awaji, but "chunkier updates" instead

Oh it’s so bad, it’s getting so much worse. What a waste as the first game is pretty cool in that Suda51 way. Now it’s a bastardised version of it.

It took about a month but the Arc Raiders community is already eating itself from the inside out as they argue over what’s best for the game and nothing is good enough. Once again showing that gamers don’t deserve nice things.

As a nihilist. Realising that most things in life are fictional concepts that cause unnecessary distress in turn meant that I try to focus on the few things I can impact.
Making those marginally better will have a longer lasting effect around me than the big picture. Doing nothing is for cowards.

You know what. Sure, it's a 2am thought alright, but maybe a touch of "if nothing matters...Let's do what we can and enjoy what we have" is what's needed in the now.
Shit sucks, but we're still alive. Will our actions matter in the long run? Only if we *make* them matter.

(Which is funny to me, because I genuinely love No Man's Sky, which arguably ALSO has a nihilistic storyline, but it's more in the "well fuck it. if nothing matters, then let's do what we can and enjoy what we have" category.)
