I’m one of the ones who’s been arguing letting their skill go was insane.
And even Fallout 4 was over 11 years ago. Still a very different time and company then.
Oh absolutely, even if they switched every game to Unreal 5/6 (please don’t Microsoft) just having a competent team develop engine tooling and support would be invaluable and id tech showed that competency
I’m on the side of this was an insane move by Microsoft that they’ll regret, but that’s not a great argument.
This isn’t the same id software that did those things. This is an id software that has only released sequels rehashing mechanics with no original new IP since 2010. This is an id software who’s engine has direct competitors with similar tech.
Now sure they’re a vast, highly competent workforce with strong technological knowledge and passion and great systems, and still insane skill, but they’re a different company now than the revolutionaries you’re talking about.
I don’t know exactly. The things I saw from EtymologyNerd tracked more of their movement, he might have other videos diving into their use you could go look for
A lot of modern slang started on right wing sections of 4Chan and is full of Jewish words intentionally used as code to make fun of them. EtymologyNerd on YouTube has talked about the right leaning origin of slang some

Second sentence is literally the GOG rep stating is part of their culture. The reply is the dev explicitly stating they avoided several of the runes sent because of the connotations. Comments are full of people pointing out that they did not use the rune they claimed they did based on the Unicode and pointing out that in history using the double rune has had no meaning.
The developers also pointed out in a different spot they changed their logo because the old one had connotations they wanted to avoid but that GOG used the old one, despite having the new less problematic one.
Nothing GOG said passes the sniff test.
They went back and forth with the community more and the devs but basically repeated themselves
Except their excuse that it was part of their culture and why they use it in the first place holds no water according to the developers of the game (part of said culture) as well as many others.
Except if your read the actual survey questions they don’t ask about the 4th. They ask what “America’s 250th anniversary celebration” is about. And any of the answers is valid then
They released a standard non-apology claiming it was part of their culture and that people just didn’t understand. They also stated their German team raised issue with the email and that they just ignored it
I mean even in the previous US civil war, Confederate ships when built in Great Britain, France fought proxy battles for the south through commerce and diplomacy, Mexico transported supplies to the south for France. Russia sent Navy ships that were to engage if Britain or France sent ships. Like, other countries absolutely get involved in civil wars one way or another.
Then definitely take a break from the Internet and get out more.
They run E3. Oh wait that died.
They run ESRB and rate games. Not that anyone pays attention.
So that pretty much leaves their extensive lobbying efforts on behalf of the largest publishers in favor of more copyright law and such.
No it’s just straight up lazy and leading people to believe ChatGPT is out there solving archeological problems and is actually valuable. Just call it machine learning and go. Most non tech people won’t care, and they won’t keep having that association reinforced.
Getting real tired of everyone calling everything AI these days. Machine learning doesn’t mean AI
Those sorts of comments show up on occasion. Enough to be a problem
