  • Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it’s why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.

    Iirc that is only true in the sense that being queer does the same. It isn’t anywhere near comparable in severity of course, I’ve never had a single person rant at me for being awake at 3am, but it’s still a constricting society that punishes people for sticking out in big and small ways that causes compounding issues in people.







  • An idea i had that i imagine would turn out pretty well is Japanese speaking forums for westerners specifically. It’d have a buy in that no one interested in only trolling would go in for (learning a language, especially one far from English).

    Some pirate coves protect themselves by requiring an invite from someone already in the community, that could work really well too.

    Generally, just requiring a little work to get someplace would make communities a lot nicer.

    Consoles have gone almost nowhere since the xbox, of course they aren’t going to be generating infinite growth. The ps5 controller is the first change in consoles I’ve seen in years that was genuinely interestingv outside of graphical quality. Nintendo is, of course, an exception to that. Every console they release is either genuinely different to the last or meaningfully upgraded, other business practices aside.
