all D&D movies ever will be bad ig

That won’t put butts in seats in theaters to make up for the money being invested. Microsoft wants a new generation of kid money.

People need to wake up to the fact that these movies are ads to sell shit. This is an ad to sell Minecraft to a new generation in of kids. Why in the world do you think they keep rebooting movies that’s made for kids like Star Wars and Transformers? Because they sell toys to kids.

So, why Minecraft movie? You admit the stats yourself: they need a new generation of kids to like Minecraft to sell Minecraft branded shit. They don’t even have to play the fuckin game as long as they’re paying for cheap branded clothing and plastic and skins for kids to show off to their friends what brand represents their personality the best.

People don’t understand: we already outlawed “theft” and “stealing”—we wouldn’t need COPYright laws if they prevented theft or stealing 😂 they only prevent copying, aka not theft or stealing.

But people keep strawmanning “stealing is bad mmkay???”

I’m not sure how you can look at hundreds of years of IP laws getting btfo by pirates and say the ship is sinking 😂

I’m sorry, but until you can somehow answer the question of “how to make people avoiding laws impossible?” without causing a revolution, there will be laws avoided by people

No laws have ever stopped people from getting what they want. Games will be made by those who hate IP laws and be played by those who seek it. Will that scene be a trillion dollar industry backed by governments and international corporations like the AAA scene is today? Probably not. Will a punk indie scene exist? Of course.

Every popular entertainment medium that has a giant industry will see these same results as well. Movies, books, music, etc. As long as the medium is popular, it will persist outside of IP laws.

Thom has a point about Trump and not playing in America. Personally I’d rather see more people boycott America.

Oh Steam Machines are so back

Hopefully these new gamedev unions join them.

The one on the right should be labeled “full-stack dev” because that’s like 80% of them and they write in C# and Angular 😂

I wouldn’t say JavaScript is horrible, it’s a fine little language to do general things in if you know JS well. I would say, though, that it is not a great language. Give me F# and I’m happy forever. I do not like typescript that much more than JS.

I legit like the live action avatar. It isn’t the best thing ever, but I am actually legitimately enjoying it and it’s changes.

The CEO of Baldur’s Gate 3 has spoken

underrated

😂😂 it definitely isn’t, msft has shit like $20 chargebacks covered

why u snitchin on ezra

Uhh… for their steam deck I’d think 😂 not that it’d be a primarily mobile gaming device, but no reason not to put your mobile games on it if you like them

You’re downvoted, but you’re 100% right. The web is designed to not break. Engineers who can’t accept that don’t get to complain

I’m very glad I got lifetime 😂

True, but functional languages are great if you want to live comfortably.
