understanding games is a form of systemic analysis

many of the most interesting games started as free mods or student projects

The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales
- It's pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.
- Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned
  
  The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You'd need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop
Too many gold sinks at low level, not enough gold sinks at high level.
- WAY too much grinding at lower levels and the racial stats are all kinds of imbalanced
I haven't been here long but I imagine c/outside exists?
- if it doesn't, make it
- c/outside
  Outdoors / Nature / Green Things
  
  huh?
  
  I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).
  
  Things like, "I'm level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?"
  
  Or "What's the cheat code for an affordable surgery?"
  
  You get the idea. Life's a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.
- [email protected] exists :) Not too active, but we can change that.
  
  They probably spend too much time outside to bother with it ;)
No respawn. Gambling mechanics.
- No respawn
  
  Do we know that for certain, what if past oifes are previous spawns
The Inherited Wealth perk is ridiculously broken.
It's 90% grinding and 10% actual gameplay
How could the creator of the image miss the opportunity for it to say "we live in a society"
- Or Skill Issue
  
  Good point. That's probably the libertarian gamer's answer to all of it 🤦
Why is the richkid class locked for me?
- Your parents need to buy the DLC first!
  
  Fuck!
- Nah the poor kid class builds the story better
  
  Skin color is still a difficulty selector.
Spawn points are busted and too heavy RNG
If the downvoters want to buy more votes mine only costs $500. You can send you money to the nearest food pantry or food bank.
Capitalism is very unpoggers.
This thread got me thinking, do we have a replacement for r/outside on Lemmy? That sub was pretty entertaining at times
- If someone finds one please tell me
Promises of infinite exponential capital growth => Feature creep
Ah fuck you all, I will just spin up my own server for me and my friends.
Yes. I'd actually love this. Then maybe I'd listen.

I love it when I see a headline and then hear 1383x ~~youth~~ trendy people repeat the headline. Then they tell me they don't follow msm and that they cultivate their own views. ...I just say... O.K. ...because I don't care. Then they act like they had the biggest mic drop because I didn't want to hear the same dumb shit for the 5 billionth time.
The American Dream is not a myth. People will cry abt how they "can't afford" a $2,000 a month apartment after choosing to live in the city with the $2,000/mo apartment. Literally just move to the Midwest?
They were doing pretty good until they blamed everything on neoliberalism, what a fucking joke

Edit: This is more nuanced than I realized, please see comments below.
For the love of god can you shut the fuck up about this stuff all the time???
