I hated Randy in the past, but lately his comments are making me like him. He's stirring up the bees nest by disturbing the status quo and making people question themselves. Problem is most people are idiots, and both developers and fans are jumping down his throat time and time again. He might not be 100% right on his points, but he's making some interesting discussion. Problem once again is, people don't want to destroy their fragile worldviews by contemplating the points he's raising.
Well Randy is right in a way Valve is very fanboyish they could have just said we are not developing for the ps3 and be done with it. Also Valves close relationship to steam is a conflict of interest. So I don't see a problem valve does make good games but there quite overrated
You might not have noticed but you just replied to a post that was almost ten years old.
Yeah it's about time to close this one down, which I really should have done immediately after it was posted.
Next time if you want to have an actual discussion instead of inciting arguments, maybe don't broadly generalize your audience as having a "mental disorder."
There's also a surpring amount of conspiracy-theory fallacy in the OP (and following posts) as well -- that is, "people only disagree with me because everyone (except me) is brainwashed" and "any evidence that counters my theory is invalid, because that evidence is presented by people who are brainwashed (unlike me)."
Is this a direct quote from a Flat Earth video on YouTube?
Why should my mind matter at all. But you are right it is a trick. I obviously don't think people will be able to produce an example. All free-to-play games tend also to be "games-as-a-service" and by definition something that keeps people busy with time gated challenges, progression grind, loot farming basically meddles in a player's priorities.
Here is the thing it seems like you might be completely missing. Some people enjoy that type of experience. They like to grind away and earn things in games that take inordinate amounts of time - they find it fun, and playing F2P games for free or nearly free is part of the experience for them. It's completely fine if you don't enjoy that type of game, but try to see these things from others' perspectives.
There may be more logical fallacies in this single post than have ever been collected into a single post on Giant Bomb over the last ten years, and that's really saying something.
