Ok, space Karen.

Good. The more nonsensical projects he starts, the less damage he can do elsewhere.

[-] psvrh@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago

You'd think this, but so far he just seems to keep damaging more things and rolling everything up into a kind of metastasizing grift that gets it's tentacles into everything.

I've got an idea for a game, I call it "Elmo's Steaming Pile of Bingo"

Make a bingo card with all the horrible dark patterns in gaming on it.

A monthly fee to play a game where you can buy the battle pass with cryptocurrency and you get NFTs in the lootboxes. Watch ads during matchmaking, purchasable respawns, buy your way out of chat bans. The winning team can talk as much trash as they want on the post-game lobby while the losers are sent to farm captchas until they can play again

Get five boxes in a row and you win! I mean, we all lose, but you win!

The best selling game of all time was made by a colossal tosspot, maybe he'll have some luck.

[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 weeks ago

Minecraft?

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 14 points 4 weeks ago

Yep. Speaking of which, I haven't heard anything from Notch in a while. That's nice.

I'm sure he's about to be appointed secretary of something he's unqualified for any day now.

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago

So... Do we see an AI NFT game coming out with with ($30+)monthly subs that is basically an asset flip?

[-] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago

You probably could really help gaming by setting up an incubator fund to help indie developers.

Other ways a little bit of money could go a long way is by contributing to open source development of projects like Godot.

Finally, contribute to games preservation. This could take a couple of different forms, but just a fund to back something like the Free Software Foundation or Archive.org, maybe to set up an Abandonware project.

The guy is a mega-billionaire. He could accomplish some very positive gamer related things for a fraction of a fraction of a percent of his wealth.

Or, hear me out, he creates an ego vanity project and call everyone that doesn't enable him a pedophile.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

You do that dipshit. You do that.

I have no idea what this means, but my friend semt me that he was a really good diablo player...so who knows he might bring some positive influence.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 23 points 4 weeks ago

Being a gamer, even a "good" one, does not mean you know what is necessary to make a good game.

[-] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world -4 points 3 weeks ago

Not being a gamer doesn't mean you make a bad game, i just said: "let's see what happens it might be good".

I know that's hard to understand when you're desperate to criticize everything and everyone, but i get it it's the thing that got you Reddit upvotes and it's hard to stop.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

And I just said that being a gamer doesn't mean you'll make a good game. I did not say that he will definitely fail at this. Don't put words in my mouth. I don't give a fuck about upvotes.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 weeks ago

He exploited a glitch in a specific dungeon in Diablo and that was just enough to get low information individuals (such as yourself) to parrot this misinformation. Congrats!

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 weeks ago

You mean the pay to win game??? And the richest person on earth is so bad he can't even make it into the top 10
