This will be my last reply to you because it’s tiring having to educate people on how the world works.

So, if a dev were to decide not to localise for the Japanese market, they’ve made the decision it’s not worth the cash. In that case, what’s your problem with said decision?

Yeah that’s their choice. But if they’re doing it solely because of the risk of a bad review, that’s just pathetic. Which was my point and your seemed to miss that.

When did reviews become ‘news’.

That’s all a review is. Someone’s news about the game. Ie reporting. Reporters report news.

As I noted in my previous comment, yes something in the system needs to change. It can be from any of the parties involved. The platform, the devs, or the gamers. I don’t really care which, since it doesn’t affect me.

Another person crying about a problem yet offering zero realistic feedback on fixing it, suggesting even that an entire culture change so game devs aren’t afraid of reviews. No. The only thing that needs to change is how the reviews are done, and that is Steam’s, or whatever other service’s, problem to fix. Or you know, people could find a reliable reviews source from outside Stream and go by that. God forbid people do research that involves five clicks before spending their hard earned money.

Based on everything in the article, everybody seems to be reacting very calmly.

By reacting very calmly do you mean pulling completely out of a game market by no longer localizing games or running betas there? Yeah, super chill reaction. Totally rational to just ignore so many people without spending a day brainstorming solutions and actually following through with implemented changes that address the problem.

You’re the most butthurt person so far.

Yes. It sucks to take it upon yourself to educate people on the workings of the world. I wish I didn’t care that people were idiots, but unfortunately for me I do as I have to share earth with them. And it hurts me so. In the butt. Other places too, but the pain in my ass is the worst.

Grow up before you melt, snowflake.

Guyincognito, out.

Edited because I don’t know how to close quotes

Why would a developer want to get into the Japanese market? Simple really. Cold hard cash. It’s why we have anything really. Including games.

I don’t know what planet you’re pretending to live on but here on earth there’s a pretty simple rule to understand about news. It’s that no news is good news, and bad news is news. Seriously. Open up any news source. Unless something is fucking stellar it won’t be reported on. Why anyone needs flowery words to do their job to earn money sounds silly to me.

If you read the article above it goes on to say that most of the bad reviews were justified in their criticisms.

But I’ll offer a suggestion to fix the problem of these butthurt developers. Petition Steam, or other review sites, to change the way scores are done. Change them to a percentage of players who played who gave poor reviews, instead of a percentage of the reviews. Boom, problem solved. Now instead of 20% of the reviews being bad, it’s 2% of the players. 98% don’t think it sucked, so it must be good.

Maybe they need to take up the challenge of making a game that doesn’t cause people to warn others about it? I dunno. People are always gonna people (be shitty) and that’s something thin skinned companies need to get over, and quick. The Japanese made the games industry the powerhouse it is today. How many Japanese game mascots can you name? How many Western ones? To stop catering to that market because of a slee of bad reviews is just pathetic. Why a game developer needs to be encouraged to make a good product, instead of just buttoning down and doing their job of making a quality game to start with, send silly to me. Do I need my boss to praise me to do my job? No. But I sure as shit will hear about it if I’m not doing my job well.

I don’t know how old your are, but I grew up playing Japanese games and I extremely rarely had a complaint about them other than the occasional difficulty spike, though I still finished them. Nowadays, I feel like I stop playing games and don’t care about finishing them about 25% of the time. It’s because they’re crap and I wish I had read more of the reviews first.

I’ve made the decision to never buy new games anymore because I’m too often disappointed. I hope the Japanese, and other gamers too, create enough aggregate reviews to help me enjoy the games I purchase.

Or it’s possibly a part of their culture to warn others to avoid bad investments? I’m not Japanese though so what do I know.

I’d say it’s not on the Japanese to change their ways, but on the developers to not put out products that merit that kind of feedback.

Hopefully some more drought for one and flooding for the other will thin the herd a bit in the coming months and years.

I think the flight attendants’ back to work deal should involve the complete stepping down of all air Canada board members, without pay or severance in any form, for their lack of effort in negotiating in good faith with the union. It should also include the stepping down of this tone deaf bitch but unfortunately air Canada doesn’t employ her despite the payments it gives to her party in their various forms.

We need to send a message that’s loud and clear to all boards everywhere. Fail to negotiate in hopes the government will step in on day one of the strike, and your job is gone.

People have too much trouble reading more than a paragraph which is why it hasn’t been upvoted enough.

Laura Loomer’s latest victim is always the last person to look at her face.

It’s funny how everyone wants to complain about cuts to this and that, yet they offer up zero solutions as to how to acquire the funds to support the programs receiving cuts.

Our country is going through a tumultuous time in industry, and unless we get that up and running efficiently by investing heavily in making Canadian products and finding new international buyers, there won’t be any money to spend on any social programs in the future either. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, those of security and sustenance and more important than the need for community. I know my answer sucks, but stable pyramids are built from the ground up and not the top down.

This is a long transition that, hopefully, in several years, will see us self sufficient and prosperous, and able to fully fund the needs of all Canadians. Until then, every community, every one, will feel the sting of financial hardship. The sooner we get up and running, the shorter the pain of the sting.

Because they can’t fight a ground war. You think American would just happily accept Trump’s assassination and move on? And Russia would happily accept Putin’s? There’d be terrible war, and since America would overwhelm Russia, the Russians would use their only ace in the hole and nuke America as they know America will show no quarter and they’d rather take as many with them before they go. You, and just almost all commenters in this thread, seem to underestimate the retardedness of the saber-rattling idiots that step in to fight to fill the void of the delusional dead leaders.

I’m done trying to talk sense in this thread. If you and every other pussy in this thread is as tough as their comments are, I implore you to head to Alaska and take these asshole leaders out. Either way, the world will be better off as there’s be fewer idiots left to dumb down our species.

How often do you down vote online comments as a joke? Well I got a whole bunch of em in this thread. I’m sure war is all jokes to the people here. Smh

War isn’t fought toe-to-toe anymore. It’s done remotely. Yes the Russian military is garbage now. But if even 3% of their nukes successfully land, the casualties would be in the tens of millions, if not hundreds.

Russia may be inept, but the threat of their nukes is not to be underestimated. I severely doubt the Russians that follow Putin would say thank you and leave it at that. Power vacuums create worse conditions than the conditions under the tyrants. It would get much worse before it ever got better.

I’m glad there’s one person with sense in this thread. Who would’ve thought my least popular comment in the Fediverse would be calling for caution over starting WW3?

These idiots here can forfeit their own lives if they want, but don’t forfeit my little girl’s life because you’re too lazy to open a psychology and a history book. You don’t assassinate world leaders on foreign soil and get away with it, scot free.

I certainly don’t feel like all cops are bad unless they let people die. I don’t know how you got that interpretation. I said the cops didn’t do their job and deserved a harsher penalty for failing to do so. I meant that not just for the two cops in the story, but for all their peers to witness the consequences of dereliction of duty too.

I also said this young man didn’t die due to the cops’ negligence, but to his own poor choices. He knew that medication was important and didn’t bring it. He knew sickle cell anemia weakened his organs. And he knew that his choices that night weren’t good for his body, especially with his condition. He chose to do all the things he did anyways, and he paid the ultimate price. Is this sad, yes. Is this preventable, also yes. Did he make the choices he needed to make to ensure his safety? No. He was found motionless less than an hour after being detained, and pronounced dead less than an hour after that. He was more than two hours away from home and his meds.

I see this as being not much different than lathering one’s self up in blood and taking a walk through the savannah. Sure there’s a chance you’ll make it out the other end ok, but most times not. Is it the lions fault that person died, or is it their own fault for not heeding warnings and making unsafe choices?

We all know what our system is. We need to keep that in mind if we do things that risk running afoul of it (And no, I don’t like our system much either, hence the acab statement). If we fail to heed the warnings of our family, friends, doctors and news outlets, well then we shouldn’t be so surprised when Darwinism happens.

Good. Let’s hope that federal domestic terrorists continue to have domestic terrorist threats thrust upon them. Make them terrified to go to work. Make them terrified to do their job. Make them terrified to be such shitty people. They deserve it. This crap needs to end so we don’t descend into another dark age.

Every military had it’s losses. Is America powerless because it couldn’t win the wars in the Middle East? Or on drugs? Or in Vietnam?

Remember when Putin supplanted the military uprising a couple years ago? I understand where you’re coming from and want to see Russia, as it is, end. But calling for mutually assured destruction is such a poor choice when there are solutions that don’t risk the start of WW3 to explore first.

If that were true the rest of the world would have swooped in and caused a regime change. Look at Ukraine. Do you really think Russia is powerless? If so, please enlist as a mercenary for the Ukrainians if you’re so sure Russia’ll be disposed of with pitchforks.

It’d certainly be nice to restrict them from thriving, developing and expanding. They don’t deserve it and the EU needs to grow some balls and do the right thing. Who the fuck cares what America’s opinion is on this matter. They’re unreliable and just as terrible as Israel. The EU doesn’t need goods or services from either country, and it’s time they stand apart from them.

While I love the idea of fighting back against Maga, won’t this lead to voting being a waste of time in the long run? This just sounds like a new way to rig an election so that democracy is no longer practiced.

It’d be nice if there was a plan to reset the gerrymandering, or institute electoral reform, after this one time election so we can all experience democracy, as intended.
