Didn’t Jimmy Wales from wikipedia try this?

Fuck Google. Can’t we fork their shit? Let them close their platform while we keep it open.

Isn’t this perfect for working with GoG?

But the rich are getting richer, and that was the plan all along!

Will we really have more performant games? Are game companies going to invest in an opensource game engine to pool their talent and make the most performant game engine out their that makes the most performant games?

It’s way more likely they’ll try and sell us yet another SaaS product or even better, an AI product that guzzles a cubic metre per request.

Not a movie but a youtube playlist: The Alt-Right Playbook

That’s good, because that wasn’t what I was suggesting 🫰

If you spend money on games they are trying to boycott and take attention away from, I don’t think they’ll cackle. Especially if many people do it. Then their lists will achieve exactly the opposite of what they want to achieve.

Maybe I should make an “anti-woke” list and say the racist games are woke, just to mess with them.

It’s not about given them attention, but the games they are boycotting.

You can do that too. For me, it would fulfill two functions: give a review for a game with my honest opinion, and help make the “anti-woke” lists a double edged sword for the bigots: if you make a public list, it may also be used by the “woke” to support their games.

As the French would say “oh putain…”

If any group complaining about something makes it “controversial”, then everything is controversial and the word loses all meaning.

Yeah, woke. Oops.

I’m not suggesting “buy every game on this list” but to use it as a means to discover games. There are probably good games on there which get undue hate from the curator’s followers and are not very well know. The followers do try and review bomb the games, so they don’t bubble up to the top naturally.

That would be unfortunate. When lemmy.world goes down, I think all their content is still available on every instance that federated with it.

Oh oh… the left seems to hate itself more than the right again. Hopefully the elections won’t see a divided left again.

Would this kind of thing be possible with peertube? It has “peer” in the name, but is it really resistant to take downs or unforeseen outages? If peertube instance A is hosting a video and I’m on peertube instance B, trying to watch that video, if instance A goes down, will that video be unaccessible?

They do have an “Owners” forum (the default is the Non-Owners for those who don’t own the game). I imagine the non-owners forum is there to provide an opportunity for non-owners to ask genuine questions about the game, but that obviously isn’t happening. Maybe you’re right and they should just make it owners only. I don’t know if it would be visible to others though.

The forums are just full of bigotted trolls who want to see the game fail.
