MMOs to MOBAs to BR.... On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired.... Out of a cannon into the sun.
Honestly this is a extremely valid point.
If an entire generation isn't conforming to the old way of doing things then the solution is for management and HR to adapt. Their failure to adapt management styles that worked with previous generations isn't the fault of new generations.
Part of being a professional is the willingness and drive to constantly update your toolkit to new and emerging industry trends and we can't pretend like generational shifts don't count.

As someone who is also awkwardly treading the line between being a soulless hack and trying to get my work noticed by literally anyone: please edit your top comment with a link to your game.
I mean it. I can't even muster the courage to post my renders to Instagram without feeling like some desperate influencer goof.
The point of a thought experiment isn't to creatively invent your way out of answering. It's to give you a lens to examine your beliefs. The trolley problem can be a train problem or a giant falling safe problem or a two-bombs-with-a-button-to-switch-detonators problem. The specifics aren't there for you to fantasise they're there to give context to one of the most entry-level problems in ethics.
You didn't impress your philosophy buddies by refusing to engage with a hypothetical. You made them groan and then they laughed about you when you left the room.
The philosophy majors did not like me pointing out it was ridiculous to imagine the problem existing in a void with an absolute limit on possible courses of action.
Holy shit you did it! You beat philosophy! ^^^/s
But with one of the finest toilets in the world!
The fact that shrink-wrapped agreements aren't automatically void worldwide is a fucking abomination. No you shouldn't get to push a legally binding contract on me after I paid for the product. It's my property now and if you want to require a license agreement after the sale then I should be able to decline it for a full refund fuck you.
When I bought Fallouts 1, 2 and Tactics from EB like 15 years ago I couldn't run them even with the disc in the drive. The shitty securom was broken and refused to recognise the disc. It was only thanks to pirates that I was able to crack them and play the copies I fucking paid money for.
DRM is cancer.
The S5 was IP67 with a removable battery and an SD slot (so don't listen when people say they removed batteries for the waterproofing). The S6 had no waterproofing, no removable battery and no SD slot. The S7 brought back the SD slot and had IP68 water resistance but they never returned the removable battery.
If it's overhanging public property it's fair game. The owner has plenty of fruit on their side too I'll bet. If they take issue with it they can guide their plant so it's confined to their property. That being said I wouldn't be reaching over the fence to yank a cucumber or apple.
