There's been a number of articles about it a while ago on videogame journalism websites

AFAIK they do still put out articles about it but I suppose it's not as much of a hot topic today

Disclosure I identify with the movement, hence bias

Thing started off February 29 when Chris Kindred, the narrative designer at Sweet Baby Inc, a videogame consulting company, called for a mass report campaign against the steam curator group (and its owner) "Sweet Baby Inc Detected", which exist to highlight steam games in which the company has some involvement. Chris called it a harrassment group and claimed that it breaks steam's terms of service.

This got a lot of eyes on the group which balooned in membership, right wingers/ old gamergaters latched onto it and I think it's fair to say that this Sweet baby Inc detected group is the main Gamergate 2 community. As time goes on the movement isn't just campaigning against this one company, but against many similiar consultation groups (Black Girl Gamers/Gaymers for example) and the concept of ESG funding in general.

Good part of the video talks about how games from Japan specifically are affected by these companies / ESG. So it's not just limited to the american videogame industry

I was always super interested in legendary equipment, so when I came back to the game after years away I just picked one weapon from the list, put it into gw2efficiency, expanded it's required materials list and looked through it until I saw something that requires me to do content which I felt comfortable doing, like map completion or open world events. From there I naturally re-familiarized myself with the game as I kept working towards the legendary.

I know the devs have stated that they want the primary weapons to feel weak but I think they forgot to apply this balancing philosophy to the scorcher, breaker (+variants) and slugger. I use the scorcher myself just because it's more versatile than the others in the top tier but if the game were better balanced I would have been spamming the plasma shotgun, it feels so fun to use but it performs like a direct downgrade to the scorcher

shield emplacement is an ok crutch in bot missions with randoms, great for when the team is stuck in a respawn loop and needs that breathing room to regroup

Love the game, have over a hundred hours in it, nice to see a shoutout but why so many hashtags? hard to read the post

I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.

you’ve been able to fucking play it for a decade

tech demo out = game is playable, unbeatable logic

If they said they released it years ago and called these all “updates” you’d have nothing to bitch about

It's not about what the developers say the state of the game is, it's about what's actually out and playable - and for Star Citizen, last time I checked it's some barebones version with one planet, bajillion missing features, 200000000$ ships and in general a buggy mess

You star citizen fans are insufferable. I get spammed with these videos, ads and articles hyping up the game for being the best thing ever, always claiming the next update to be some gamechanger but it's still the same unfinished garbage. Love how every time someone mentions the absolutely disgusting monetisation, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Now get back to licking chris robert's shoes, you've missed a spot

If you want to rant about GPU prices, why randomly call out one/two specific games? Not like it doesn't apply to any other modern release. I don't get this post

Also I looked up some benchmarks and you can get 60FPS on medium with an RX 6600 (about 200 USD curently in the US) in both finals & helldivers. Could possibly get away with a cheaper card on Low settings
