I can code, try to make games and cool stuff.
Trust me, I get it and I agree, #capitalism sucks. Mostly.
But that’s not how it works.
You can’t just take an arbitrary event and claim it came to be despite the circumstances, not because of them.
Like, that’s not how causality works.
Besides, It’s a way stronger argument to point at the overwhelming amount of bad games and bad features and say those got produced under capitalism and that’s why it’s bad full stop.
@emeraldheart I’m not frustrated, because it’s not a dilemma to me.
Blizzard’s glory days are long gone, WOTC does whatever, I had my fun, and J.K. Rowling is a more complex topic. But assuming she’s “bad” I’m fine with that too.
The games industry is only bleak if you omit the #indiedev scene. there are *so many* cool, new games.
E.g. In the last 12 months I have had a blast with Against the Storm, Phantom Brigade and Mechabellum.
@MJBrune I think I really like timed challenges even if I’m not very good at them.
Like block -> parry
Also with tolerance areas where you can hit a “passing” “good” or “perfect” score.

“One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.”
Makes it a non issue.
It’s free as in freedom not as in free beer and that’s that.
Jitsi doesn’t have to offer free service and they particularly don’t have to provide anonymity.
The same is true for the fediverse, since the admins have info that could help identify users. That has it’s uses too.
