The Witness sucked.

It's playing a $1 phone game inside a pretty walking simulator.

The ending was self wankery.

It released at $40.

Why wouldn't it be a $40 phone game?

So you played it?

It was a quality $60 game that they released at $40, with no filler, DLC or micro-transactions, which I've played for dozens of hours. There's not a lot of AAA games like that these days, and is commendable in itself.

You are being overly reductive and portraying it as something it is not. If they stripped down the game and made it into a line game with a phone UI, you wouldn't be able to do most of the puzzles, it wouldn't be anywhere near as good, worthy of praise or as good value for money.

This is like that paradox about how you can never move anywhere because to move a certain distance you have to move half that distance, and to move half that distance you have to move quarter of that distance, and so on and so forth until the finish line keeps being away and all you have are some pictures of the goal

These people look so happy for having to work through the weekend in what I am assuming is a marathon to gettin the new fake demo up and running for GamesCom.

I mean, Sandi or whoever was holding the gun during that photo-shoot, they could also be a few high-five-ing each other or doing acrobatic cartwheels and air flips, but what do I know.

I don't know why people keep thinking they can pin this man down. Even if they pooled their collective experience in shitposting and trolling on the internet they couldn't match half of Derek's long years wasted doing it. It's like trying to punch cooked spaghetti. Give it up.

Yeah they're complete lightweights compared to Derek. Partly because they are actually trying to convince themselves of their own bullshit, whereas Derek actually knows poo poo from shinola and just enjoys the game of it.

I would be furious at my employer for taking that kind of picture. Working the weekend is bad enough, being bribed with pizza is insulting, but then you have some PR rear end in a top hat taking a picture for social media in order to make it look like everything is fine and that working on the weekend on a 8+ month delayed patch to a 4+ year delayed game is perfectly normal and good

Cig leadership is primarily responsible for that. They're aware of this to some degree but indifferent. Worst case scenario they can just find new Believers, right?
