Have Videogames Run Their Course?

Apparently these gaming companies are like sweatshops of computer nerds,

they just work them into the ground for no pay

That's all programmers. They want to import a slave caste of shitty programmers from India and pay them peanuts. Innovation is starved by greed.

Good. I hate computer nerds, burn them all.

Never got seriously into another major game, though I did like little games like World of Goo

Of course you did.

Could be true. Idk. As something that Americans have led the world with thanks to things like Bell Labs it's sad to see.

No I think Bethesda is just suffering from shitty programmers.

It's not the programmers, it's the lack of ability to go in the direction they need to by upper management not getting out of their way. Just like Activision and MS did with Bungie.

That just says there will be a paradigm shift, new ideas end running the dinosaurs. I don't game but I think it will be persistent, it's part of human nature. In Iain Bank's classic Culture SF series he has godlike AI's who spend much of their time in their equivalent of SimCity.

FWIW my 17 year old daughter plays retro text based games, and my 20 year old son never really gamed, he does extreme sports like mentioned above. We never had any console but a 1st gen Wii. I had one true love, in 1982, Gravitar. Never got seriously into another major game, though I did like little games like World of Goo and Contraptions.

I play them all, in my case I play retro text base, indi, as well as a FPS, RPS, race games, sports, etc... all I can tell you is that the future is not in AAA, but indi games.

Nerds aren't the problem; they are the ones if given free reign are the ones that innovate.

Nerds are the problem because they are vast majority urbane leftists

Antifa is all nerds, that's what you get from nerds.

The Fash cannot abide nerds, they have to go

All nerds can be dorks, but dorks cannot be nerds.

I'd revise your statement, because some of the smartest people out there were considered nerds in their time.
