RAM,

maybe - it’s my local circus and they’re very nice - the thing is, a lot of the other volunteers are not tech savvy, and likely won’t change to a new platform unless a lot of energy is put into making the transition easy - but it might be a project for the future :))

conciselyverbose,

It was always "always online" (though you could play matchmaking only activities solo pretty easily). But it didn't always have the traits of live service that destroyed it.

Destiny 1 had relatively little content, with excellent enemy design and level design, done in a way that the content had a lot of replayability purely for the sake of the mechanics. Playing a strike again (provided you weren't too overleveled and mowing through everything) never really felt the same because you and your party didn't do the exact same thing. This was supplemented with nightfalls (which were a live service like timed event, but didn't have to be) and other strikes with modifiers to expand the replayability more. Every once in a while there was an expansion, with a well designed new map, and you could still play all the old stuff. There were a handful of new type of enemies, playing on the old ones, that were still thought out and well structured.

Destiny 2 obviously threw out the D1 content. Fine. It's a new game. But, because of "not enough content" complaints, they constantly threw old stuff in the trash for rushed, badly designed new ones. They stopped focusing on well balanced strikes and focused on new game modes designed to serve the "season" model by forcing you to use specific weapon types to even do damage on certain enemies. They mostly threw the well balanced original enemies in the trash for poorly thought out new ones for the sake of "this is new" at a pace that made no sense.

New content being different is fine. Taking away old better content to force people into half assed content churn is not, and that's what the live service emphasis did. I'm not even sure the significantly worse content was an "innocent" consequence of the bad pace, either. The poor design significantly cut down replayability, meaning more players are clamoring more for new opportunities to throw money at new bad content.

I imagine it looks the opposite of this.

You know who's not?

^~ This guy.

I'd rather jump into a pit filled with rattlesnakes!

I also don't make a living trying to influence people into buying shit they don't need.

interdimensionalmeme,

Then Lemmy is going to just beat repeat of voat. Why is /c/ federation disabled by default. It makes no sense.

Doesn't sound the same, but I have the excellently named Exploding Head Syndrome. Could be something related?
