And the only metrics here would be "is the game fun" in the end. Is exploring barren planets fun? Good. Is it not? Then it doesn't matter that real life Mars is even more boring
can depict planet being a barren rock and can be fun.
And that will be good then. My point was, that games should sacrifice realism in favour of fun and criticism of "yeah it's boring, but it's realistic" is fundamentally wrong.
The point of a game is to be fun in some sense of the word, not to depict Mars as scientificly accurate as possible, unless it's Scientificly Accurate Mars Simulator.
If the planneta are boring, then the game about exploring those planets are probably failed at being fun, and that's kind of irregardless of what people want.
Personally I would like all the games to be good, for example.
Yeah, we know, you are that unicorn that rents out your properties for the cost of utilities and don't profit massively from it. Even if you are not lying on the internet (I know, preposterous), you are that unique one. If everyone was like that the problem wouldn't even exist.
In the democracy the government can be influenced, working for people, and providing utilities and not trying to profit on every interaction.
US democracy is very much broken so you can't see how it would work, but that's the idea.
I wonder why people are in no position to buy, when homes are treated as a source of revenue for corporations and some people. I wonder why people have to jump through hoops to be able to have a roof, if the property are bought as an investment.
Yeah, maybe you aren't lying and not making a profit out people's suffering, but even you should see that it's not the norm, otherwise your benevolence wouldn't be needed at all. The whole system is cruel, and everyone who participates contributes to it, some more than others.
Governments are not immune to corruptions, but in the democracy there are ways to influence the government. Private companies that buy all the property are doing the corruption by design, in this case it's not even called corruption, it's normal profit-driven business, it's supposed to be like that. And you can't do shit about that, there is no ways to influence them
There is enough empty property to house every homeless person 30 times. Some of those empty property are summer houses and shit, but even then the problem isn't the lack of housing, it's treating homes as a mean to make money out of people's basic needs. You can build the best walkable city in the world, but if it will be bought by professional landlords immediately it will not solve shit.
Well, if the game is shit, there is no point in spending time on it, even if you acquired it by means other than buying. I mean, your time is the most important commodity.
Complaining about shit on youtube brings clicks. It's harder to make "hey, here's a good game" video that will bring you attention, but shitting on stuff works every time.
The amount of people in this thread telling on themselves is staggering.
"I am to lazy to clean my cat's shit and that's their fault and everone is like that too".
You're right, but 100 billion is definitely not enough to solve world hunger. It an enormous systematic problem and can't be solved by just throwing pocket change at it.
Now, influence maybe, that's hard to quantify.
US is default on the internet, that's just how it is. I'm not from US either but still living in this paradigm.
Yeah, obviously it wouldn’t necessarily be any better but it's hard to be worse
