  • There is no “marketing” strategy that will push a bad game to success.

    Do some networking, coordinate with other gamedevs, genuinely be interested in their stuff, they will be genuinely interested in yours, take feedback seriously.

    Any game with a good shot at success has historically looked so remarkable, so unique that they will stick out and won’t need much more than a few social media posts and one or two influencers to notice it. Most youtubers have business emails. If you send it to 100 people whose job it is to discover and promote the next new hot thing and NOBODY picks it up, your issue is not marketing, you just have a bad product.









  • Wirst du glaube ich nicht rausfinden, weil diese Metriken ja genau aus dem Werbebasierten Internet kommen das das Fediverse nicht sein will. Müsste man entweder schätzen oder man macht eine Umfrage die keinen account braucht und hofft das diese Menschen dann auf die Umfrage klicken. Oder eher über eine repräsentative Umfrage aus der Gesamtbevölkerung die man aber woanders durchführt als hier.

    Bin aber kein Mod oder Admin, deswegen ist das eher gut geraten als gewusst.


  • They created this narrative that people are lazy and sadly it has been very effective.

    That’s not me falling for a narrative, I’ve been in group projects, that’s my lived experience. I’m telling you I’ve seen it and you’re telling me that’s actually not true and theoretically impossible. Which is ridiculous.

    Also, being useless doesn’t equal being lazy. People can be very busy and work themselves to the bone and accomplish nothing. But I’ve also still seen people be lazy and wanting to earn credit for my efforts.


  • I did read the critique of the gothaer program, I’m not going to read an entire book to maybe find an argument that supports you.

    My position is that both Kropotkin and Marx didn’t talk or solve the issue I’m talking about, and if you want to prove that wrong, I want you to find a specific quote, page or chapter that does contain that argument. I’m not going to prove your point against me for you.


  • Kind of.

    …so in what way does that excuse keeping a system where an owning class takes the vast and ever-increasing majority of the fruits of everyone’s labor, whether they work hard enough or not?

    It doesn’t.

    But if I have the choice of either supporting the current system that exploits me and unfairly distributes my labor to rich people who don’t deserve it, and the alternative is a system that also exploits me and also unfairly distributes my labor, just to people who also don’t deserve it, they’re just not rich…

    That doesn’t exactly motivate me to support a system change, because from my point of view, it’s effectively the same system.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not without empathy. I’d just like to limit my support to those who are actually victims of chance in an uncaring universe instead of those who are self-sabotaging and crying me a river about it.





  • This is true.

    …but if you’ve never been in a group project where one person does nothing and demands equal praise, compensation, etc… you’re lying.

    That’s one of the big theoretical problems with socialism, you want equality, but plenty of people think they’re helping when they’re doing jack and then they get defensive when you suggest they do something for the community too.

    And that’s not about people who genuinely need help and support and actually can’t be expected to deliver the same work as someone who objectively doesn’t need that help. People who need help should be helped.
