arrested for photographing some abandoned urban environments 😅

honestly that doesn’t seem too much of a stretch

Game was Interior Worlds btw for any interested.

How does some of the Warframe community reconcile that kind of narrative with its whole business model?

I’m aware it’s generally considered among the “better ones”, but it still is what it is, a freemium game that by necessity has to push its business model on you since it doesn’t have an upfront cost.

I guess maybe it inadvertently adds to the atmosphere of being under the heel of capitalists?

@showerthoughts Thank goodness the metaverse never took off, but still gotta be on guard against moves towards that BS.

@Mars Tbh this is the risk with making games exclusive to any console (as well as any platform, speaking more broadly), or for any publisher.

The games industry across the board is largely terrible at preserving their past works, with it only recently becoming even of slight interest to any of them (e.g. Microsoft backwards compatibility). They’d rather old IP rot & be forgotten than risk releasing it & losing the slightest profit opportunity from a nostalgia cash-in.
