I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:
I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it’s monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They’d be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they’re the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.
Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)
There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee
I want to avoid using Fandom as much as possible, is there a singular index that tracks all of the non-fandom wikis?
I initially agreed with you but after watching the demo, it has some game-related features that I’d imagine would be hard to implement in other applications such as:
Don’t have Nintendo Online (only got it for Splatoon 3) but this product should’ve come out years ago when they introduced Nintendo Online.
I respect they chose Lady Geist to show off the glitch
interestingly explicit call out to their target demo. now i have to cringe when harder when i hear someone uses opera
