On the contrary. I can most certainly believe, and would expect such a thing. The AAA studios have always been an institution of cowards.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

I've seen this heuristic a bunch, and I don't think it remotely makes sense in a generalized way for all cities/cultures.

Found YET ANOTHER great Chinese place to eat in Pasadena tonight randomly. J's Chinese Cuisine. Totally unassuming strip mall location. CRAZY good cumin lamb and homemade dumplings. Strong recommend.

It's not a fumble, and there is no bag. They're the same cretins, and this place is as futureless as its always been.

Buying 3d print models on Etsy is a horrendous experience. You can't sort by ANYTHING useful:
- Painted or Not
- PLA or Resin
- Resolution of Print

It's a mess. Utterly useless.

This is the future enshitification of all Game Platforms.

Hardware is a sucker's game. Especially given compute capacity (gpus, ram, etc.) will never be 'cheap' again.

Every platform wants to serve content on platforms while externalizing the costs.

The great hot-potato begun.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

"What can we do to increase usership. Add more functionality? Group chats? Spaces?"

"Nah I think we need to actively court the most culturally noxious and unpleasant people to form our userbase"

Even in a ruthless capitalistic context this is weird behaviour. It really disincentivizes me from using the platform. I already get an equal amount of transphobic harassment on here. On Twitter it's Nazis and here it's liberal cryptonazis

Dawg the only reason your platform exists is because people like me who actually make good stuff were on it. Growth slowed and now you're sweating. This ain't the answer.
