While we cannot really expand upon this due to the confines of the forum on political talk and all that, I have to say this is a very ‘interesting’ take to say the least.
If you don’t want to try something new in TO advocacy, that’s fine…but it doesn’t seem to be the greatest idea when 8 years has yielded seemingly nil results.
Aye, although it would be fun if we did take that alternative path route. Imagine, the game that has an issue with military leaks now needs military intervention.
I’m just saying, I don’t believe that a sit in will do anything. Besides YouTube advocacy, I don’t believe anything will really happen. Best we can do is call each other names.
Considering that YouTubers sometimes host the sort of Custom Battles I’m describing (albeit usually usually themed (ex. ‘WW2 era’ or ‘Battle of the Bulge’, etc), the Custom Battle idea seems to fit nicely with what you envision. Altogether, I do believe the merit is there for it.
Whether TO supporters want to pursue it is up to them.
I remember a time players voted for negative reviews on Steam, after a day Gajin made an act immediately. They posted a roadmap, a plan for upcoming changes, but after a year everything slowly came back to the way it was, lacking communication. I feel like people working at this game just do their tasks and go home, they never touch or actually play their game. I currently work in the game industry and there are numerous people like that, so sad.
I think he did the right thing, though. Convincing you is probably a waste of time and energy since you are that unimportant one who has little to no influence on the outcome.
Yeah…endorsing anti-intellectualism isn’t a great look and it only leans into validating negative perceptions about TO advocates. (But you do you!)
Yeah…individually, everyone is just one person with little to no influence on an outcome. That’s how mechanics in venues with large populations generally work.
You are no different…you’re just one person, no more important than I. It’s strange you seem to imply otherwise.
They could make a poll, just like with other big “changes”.
Funny thing is - remember how they asked if people wanted to make APHE more realistic? People voted against it, and then they start crying about Jak 9K being too strong.
Or how they voted for adding new better modules to tank? And then they start crying when they added turret baskets to tanks.
The turret baskets one is because they were added to only the Leopards and Abrams. Should they be added in the future, either everyone will be mad, or everyone will be happy
