1 set of games that felt ahead of their time were Pokemon Gold/Silver and Crystal.
They had so many interesting mechanics and mechanics that (for some reason) were not introduced in the later games that it almost feels like robbery.
Probably even more, but for me it is still the best designed pokemon game to date and really ahead of it’s time.
It also felt like one of the last games that was oozing with the passion that the developers put in it.
I agree. I never moderated a subreddit because I have seen what vitrol people spew at moderators.
I actually thought that moderators were getting compensated and I was extremely baffled when I heard they weren’t. I cannot understand why someone would take that role to just get piled on day by day.
The projection part is more focused on the people who scream (1 of my favorites); “What is gonna happen is that after 48 hours people come back, suck it up and install the new app”
I can understand the sentiment and alot of people will probably do that, that is a choice one makes.
I do think that the power users and/or people who contribute to the community are looking elsewhere at some point.
I also don’t have an illusion that Reddit implodes overnight and I will be suprised if people will leave en masse after 48 hours.
But I do know and that is a sentiment that I keep saying; Reddit will rail it’s userbase one way or the other. They already made it clear that they keep monetizing until they are profitable but companies always want more and more. So you are effectively getting railed eventually and continuously.
I literally sold the consoles I had and all my games with it because games became shittier each year.
Imagine having to pay 80+ dollars/euros for a game that isnt even the “finished” product.
I’d rather just save my money and spend it on things where I don’t get absolutely railed as a consumer.
