same reason “PUBLISHERS” try to make a MVP battle royal 5 years after the genera hit its peak, or say that npc’s controlled by an llm is the future, or that single player games are dead.

publishers are stupid and greedy, and fall for denuvo sales tactics like people fall for time shares.

after following what the gaming industry has been up to for the last 2 decades you really can’t argue for publisher intelligence

that is moving the goal post. we are talking about performance, not your tiny disk drive

you keep saying that and you keep having to be told that this is untrue. at this point you really can’t claim ignorance

let AAA and AAAA fail. indie devs would have a much larger platform. current gen equipment is too expensive as it is and will get worse.

and they would need a birth date WHY? they would need to populate that information from here, WHY? especially since this was not brought into being because this was it’s use case, but because a state improperly demanded it, at the same time they are demanding other authoritarian surveillance over the populous right now? no i don’t think so. User name is more then sufficient

by your claim, the field can have any series of numbers, that there is no way to determine if it is accurate, and the law that this was done to appease is bad, as in not able to obtain its expected result. and so the data is useless.

if some api/program/government wishes to get my information, they can ask me so that i may decline. there is no use case that these fields are a benefit to the user. and as such must be wrenched out with the fervor reserved for denying a fey creature your name.

if the argument is that these entities can get my name by other means anyway, then this data is redundant and useless.

let’s also talk about that then. we need to remove that immediately

the discussion happens right now, because i said so, because others are talking about it. and the data is useless when anything can be put in, it’s not used for anything, and it can’t be verified. it fails all three tests in determining usefulness

the laws are bad, and you can push fighting for anonymity and freedom down the road because letting the camel stick its nose under the tent don’t bother anyone, and it’s too easy to just ignore…. but the laws are made for a purpose, and they will change. and uh oh, the camel has flipped the tent, you can’t fight to remove it because now systems are built around it being there. now it’s a much harder fight because we didn’t fight when it was easy.

again after seeing everything that has happened you call sounding the alarm for this as a slippery slope… i am sorry, but i question either your motives, or your foresight.

because it’s too late at that point, which is the whole point and issue!

if the field is necessary, but the data is useless, then it shouldn’t be there. if the data becomes required then it should not be there. so the result, it should not be there

with mass adoption of enshitification. and with the world in general. calling things a slippery slope fallacy is a long and losing gamble.

if the field was put in because of a law, then it’s for a reason, if the data isn’t important, or enforced, then it is useless and should not have been added.

no no no, you misunderstand, this is malice, but the reason backing it is stupid and short sighted. i mean, unless the game plan was to run off their customers like a movie troupe

kojima made a scean where big boss fucked paz in a box, when he thought she was 16. he fucked that up so bad that in later game he retconed her as a 21 year old, whos job was to seduce targets in an attempt to shift blame. but even if that was true, kojima still had big bod have sex with some one he thought was 16.

her whole deal about being near naked and ONLY HER is that she breaths through her skin. it’s nonsensical, it is unnecessary for the the multiple plot arcs, she also can’t talk or she will die/kill others. because he likes his women silent. there is a plot point covering it, but again the other soldiers didn’t have to take vow of silence, they just became sterile and were cured, but not her.

but jesus christ, Quiet is legues and bounds better then what he did with Paz, like what the absolute fuck?!

i mean, yea sure. but you could say that of any game that has like updated content.

the ai voices, even though the voice actors were paid for explicitly training an ai, and to allow on the fly changes and extensive callouts, were a point of contention with a sizeable part of the comunity, so this seems like a good thing all around to me. the voice actors get work, the voice lines they replace stop having that ai inflection. a win win.

or hear me out, they can build it themselves so they don’t have to chase hallucinations. as a matter of fact, let’s cut the ai out of the project and leave it to summarizing emails.

well they also see what products are doing well on their site, then making exact copies to sell at a loss to kill the original maker, then once the captured competition is killed take their place and inflate the price

and what is going to happen is that some engineer will band aid the issue and all the ai crazy people will shout “see! it’s learnding!” and the ai snake oil sales man will use that as justification of all the waste and demand more from all systems

just like what they did with the full glass of wine test. and no ai fundamentally did not improve. the issue is fundamental with its design, not an issue of the data set

wow, like that’s the worst of all worlds

what tf is premium lite? and to add, why tf is premium lite?
