I want less content.

I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding.

And what do you mean, you used to "adore" EA? O.o

EA has made some great games.

*They've published some great games.

But they were also the prototype of the cash grabbing asshole publisher.

No, they've also made some great games.

I’m sometimes annoyed at the trend of celebrating a dev when a game turns out well, but blaming the publisher each time it’s bad. It’s quite often a two way street…

Ahem... Anthem, Redfall, etc.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

It's my understanding that Redfall was largely at the publisher's feet. Bethesda was looking for a big buyout, and live service crap was the big thing. They told Arkane Austin what to make despite it not being what the studio knows how to make.

Sometimes it is the publisher's fault.

You don't like a really solid 20 hour assassins creed game stretched to 100+ hours of grind?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 weeks ago

Shgcking, I know! I also don't want it to be developed in an environment of abuse! 😱

Lichess.org was good enough for Gramps and it's good enough for me.

Play Katana Zero. 3 hour of gameplay with good storyline and soundtrack with beautiful pixel art.
