Lots was learned. They learned they can continue to move the goalposts simply forever it seems.

Wait for the rage over this particular round to die down. Release a game with similar but slightly dialed back bullshit. Tell everyone how much better you are than them.

Repeat until people pay $99 for the right to rent the game for $10 a month plus pay to win MTX.

Sure DD2 is a corpse, but a new game will come growing from its corpse.

Soon the poors won’t be able to play games anyway as that will be forbidden by their owners

Took way too long to find a response from someone that actually does the work.

Most of this discussion is just the neuro spicy and olds angry that everyone doesn’t do it the “right” way.

I bet there are billions of hours wasted by people trying to make the perfect way to document and discuss stuff, while the answer is “it’s hard, tedious, and pretty manual work to create and manage good documentation”.

But nobody wants to do it because it has and always will suck.

I’m amused to know that I can look through old irc chats talking about how forums are the death of foss projects. Or mail lists complaining that everyone is using IRC wrong…

Yeah I’m indifferent to discord as a platform. It’ll eventually be enshitified and people will move on.

The bummer is that it’s enabling people to be poor at documentation in a whole new way.

That said, if Discord went away tomorrow most software projects would still have garbage documentation, because most software projects are ephemeral at BEST.

Fuck Spez… amirite ? Guys?

Who cares? If they can't run a service providing what people want. They disappear. The world won't fall apart without a website that hosts videos. We'll move on.

In the meantime don't let them try to get away with maximizing profit at your expense.

Your best investment at this stage is support your local software developers and pirates working against the huge megacorp that gives zero fucks about what you think.

This is very true. They sell your data to their advertising partners. That's what it's for.

YouTube is trying to maximize profits. Doesn't mean we should let them.
