Are boycotts really the best solution to stop this epidemic in gaming? How can we best prevent these gambling grey markets and the gaming to gambling addiction pipeline?

No, boycotts do fucking nothing. The only thing that could make a difference is regulations to properly label these type of thing as gambling and even that is not very likely to succeed. They make a lot of money with gambling.

Should we boycott games with loot boxes?

Do if you want to do it.

Hopefully you won’t turn back to anti-chinese sentiment and pro-US-imperialism when the cheeto is gone.

The guy literally said that the most frustrating thing is that he can't be anti-chinese anymore.

The funniest shit I read today, the guy was sooooo fucking close.

Good games can still fail, great games can have the luxury of let people do the marketing for them.

When I switched from Windows to Linux, that was literally the first thing I heard from a colleague: "What about your games?

He knew what Linux was, but had never used it (until I convinced all my colleagues to switch to Linux).

That's was after WWII, during WWII Latin America was a "safe" heaven

Both are from Hanna-Barbera. There is also a cartoon called The Roman Holidays, which is The Flintstones, but set in Rome.

You may not like it but that's how peak productivity looks like.

What?

So my transition from cringe lord to become a better individual overall is actually just me getting better at video game? Fair enough

The number of leads youtube/podcast advertising generates is not that impressive, the number of leads that become buyers is even less impressive. When a company spends too much on this type of advertising for a product that is not "premium"(meaning overpriced shit), it casts a shadow of doubt on where they get their revenue.

You also have the team synergy as a factor in a team based game. Even if the match is perfectly balanced if people have any grief with each other in the same team(bad previous interaction, bias against certain characters, the good old racism/bigotry against other player or just difference in playstyles) the match is doomed.

Look at the release of Rise of the Ronin for PC, the game has a huge CPU bottleneck, poor performance around big cities, looks like the game render stuff that shouldn't be rendered. The last patch they released? "Graphics mode"...

I’ll also say that other countries are not without blame. There is no reason why other countries should have trusted another country to protect them.

Every country should have invested a healthy amount into their armies and never let one country get so powerful.

Jesus fucking Christ, do you believe in meritocracy?

You will never convince a majority of Western people of boycotting anything for a moral reason.

And they will probably stop boycotting when the America fascist-meter drop from 100% to the normal 88%

Holy shit, how did they build those roads across the ocean
