Well Todd Howard is a good example. And I have very little faith in whatever Peter Molyneux puts out next. Thankfully there are many example because not many people are given the type of control over a game that this articles is talking about.

Of course, they are two of the top game directors in the industry. But I think you will find a lot more examples of games where it doesn’t work.

I would say that someone like Kojima is the outlier. There are not many developers like him that can make all the decisions about a game and make the right ones/make decisions that gamers actually agree with. Even Death Stranded wasn’t as big of a hit as people expected it to be. It has developed a large cult following, but it didn’t quite have the same fan appreciation when it launched.

Honestly I don’t think anyone should have that kind of power over a AAA game these days.

Israel didn’t start this? Have you been under a rock since WWII ended?

I’m not a Hamas apologist, but I have noticed that there are just as many IDF apologists.

That’s not the way people interpret it. The majority of religious extremism directly contradicts scriptures. This is still the justification used

Thou shalt not kill people. They don’t consider Palestinians people.

Most of the products hitting the shelf are non alcoholic RTD though, not beer or wine. Some vodka seltzer brands are even coming out with their own brand of seltzer and it’s going to cost about the same as the vodka version.

If the companies making these drinks had the pricing in line with other nonalcoholic drinks it would make more sense, but the prices are the same if not higher than actual alcohol.

I honestly don’t understand this trend. It seems like craft sofas but more expensive

That’s how laws work

I guess personal finance was a bad example; in the hour since I made my comment two people have replied about that but no one has really mentioned hobby style communities (the others i mentioned) which leads into the second main issue I see which is that Lemmy’s userbase is not a casual one.

Almost everyone one here can tell you what an API means, where as the vast majority of people who are doing Google searches with Reddit at the end probably can’t/don’t care about it. That’s leads to an over representation of the ‘smart communities’ like Linux, Technology and Personal Finance. Since there are many people migrating to Lemmy that are already interested in those topics, the expertise is a lot higher.

Meanwhile, I don’t think a lot of people who would frequent Reddit for cooking advice, home improvement questions mechanical questions and other topics like those made the switch so easily. And no matter how many times you post in this subs, it’s not going to bring people from Reddit who didn’t want to leave in the first place.

Plus, when it comes to people asking questions related to things they need to do in real life, they need an answer. I made a bunch of posts on some communities here about an issue in a new rental house and got no comments on it at all. I’m all for trying to get Lemmy bigger but I can’t do that at the expense of the things I need to do in my day to day life.

This comment seems very related to the specific content you are looking for. Lemmy is a good place for tech information but that’s about it. Cooking, home improvement, personal finance, DIY, crafting etc don’t have homes on here with many active users, and especially not the amount of knowledgeable users that were on Reddit.

This all started because of an API change, so it would make sense that the predominant amount of users who migrated are more tech savvy.

I agree. The only thing I got back to Reddit for is to read the team based subreddits after games. It seems that there are actually less people on the Lemmy sport’s communities than a couple months ago.

Mandatory service and forced conscription during wartime are vastly different.
