They have to use this language to stay out of legal trouble. Saying things you know aren’t true is indeed lying, but you have to prove that they know it’s a lie.
Intention to deceive is the key part, and hard to prove. So journalists play it on the safe side and just keep to the facts: they repeated false claims / statements.
I’d say this is mostly due to budget constraints. Voice acting, music scores, high fidelity art, models, animations etc cost a ton of money. Making random generated boards / levels / dungeons with simple art and scalable gameplay is simply just more feasible.
Another aspect is the popularity of the game. We’ve seen a lot of saturation in genres over the years. A the peak of PUBG and Fortnite popularity, there were so many battle royale games coming out. Then we got extraction shooters, and so on.
Personally, I love roguelikes and how we got to the point of mixing it with other genres (Balatro, Dungeon Clawler), but I can see your point. I feel the same about 2D (pixel art) platformers: I feel like I’ve seen it all already and nothing can excite me anymore.
Really cool read, thanks for sharing.
As someone who is running a simple WordPress portfolio / brochure style site, what are some alternatives?
Is it? Or is one person claiming that?
No, a museum is part of culture and arts. They aren’t there to make bank.
It’s not a business, it’s a museum

Let’s not give Microsoft our clicks, shall we?
It’s a reference to the 100k Trump watch. So still specific to the US
Had the pleasure of playing an early version last year, very cool to see how much of it has “settled” and the direction is crystal clear now. Love the little mechanics
I’ll be honest, I’m not versed in US laws. It’s called a citizen criminal case, isn’t that the same as civil? Or is that just unlucky phrasing for the uninformed like myself?
Wouldn’t it be a slander case? As they are willfulling repeating lies, while showing that they know it’s not true (JD saying they have to fabricate stories to get the media to listen)
Yeah fuck these kids for trying to checks notes stay alive?

It’s a simpler game for sure. There were only 4 civilizations (Norse, Egyptian, Greek, Atlantian) and they were all very different from one another compared to AoE. Each civilization had multiple deities to choose from for some more specific buffs and abilities. Every type had unique mythical units as well, and these units are quite large so maps felt a bit smaller in comparison. Overall the maps were smaller than AoE anyway, but not in a bad way.
Then instead of stone there was favor, a resource like the rest (food, wood, gold), acquired by putting townies at your temple to pray. All in all it was pretty similar to AoE but it felt a lot less serious. I played a lot at LAN parties and we always had a blast though!
Now this is the niche content that makes Lemmy great. I’ve never really dabbled in multiplayer a lot as even though I have hundreds of hours, I never actually finished the whole thing, opting to start over every time I picked it back up.
Just wanted to thank you for your post, it was fun to read
