Hot take:
Let’s all not jump on Ethan. Yes it was horrible, wrong, unfair, and stupid of him to do what he did. Yes, his actions are unforgivable. Yes he should disappear from the internet.
And of course I feel for Hila, and I know exactly how that kind of betrayal feels. Having a partner for over a decade, a majority of your life, betray you in that way, and to catch them in the lies. I’ve been in those exact shoes.
However Ethan has a serious history of mental health issues. He has talked about how Hila has pulled him back from the edge multiple times, and I don’t want to see the climax of this drama end in a loss of life.
You think it’s hard on the kids now? Imagine how difficult growing up without him entirely would be, vs seeing him every other weekend and Wednesdays.

Core issue in the culture we need to rectify:
Video games should not be treated as art. EA, Sony, Microsoft, do not exist as patrons for art projects. The corporations exist to generate revenue. Anyone saying otherwise is lying. They are producing products. And products need to sell.
You want to make an artistic game? Fine, go make mixtape. Make it out of your garage. Have you and your 3 other team members survive off ramen noodles. And maybe you do pop off and make it. More than likely you’ll be like Van Gogh, and die before anyone appreciates your art.
But if you jump into the AAA pool, and have all the benefits that come from working for “the man”, you have to justify those paychecks. You gotta swim. And the only way to swim in that world, is producing profit. And the only way to do that, is to make great games.
Maybe companies should make game development commission based.

Caring about gaming means celebrating when companies that make bad games are shut down.
The desperate urge by weirdos like you to label any dissenting opinion as "grifters profiting off of hate" speaks to how weak your position actually is. You wouldn't need to throw this ridiculous strawman at every opinion you disagree with if you had any arguments of actual merit against them.

Fundamentally, I think the label of art is used too loosely as well. I’ve met people who believe nature itself is art.
For example: a carpenter 500 years ago, he would make a shelf by hand. He has studied the craft his whole life, and he pours his soul into that shelf. I would consider that shelf to be “art”. I would not however consider the IKEA shelves to be art.
Fundamentally they are both shelves, and they serve the same purposes. But to me there is a difference. that’s how I feel about games.

People mad about this,
why yall mad? They telling you there is nothing to be hyped about. I rather them set my expectations beforehand vs. watching an hour stream of “thank you, zig zig ah” to end in nothing.
This is the communication we asked for.

Nerevar, jump the fence. You’re a level 34 destruction mage. You got this my N’wah
The Daily Mail very competently speculates that
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," is to blame for a man climbing into a tiger pen and getting mauled to death at a UK zoo recently.
Owing to the fact it features "large sabre cats."

Hey @PlanetZooGame, How come you guys have "extinct in wild" and "extinct" as two separate classifications for defining animals in the game? When would the extinct classification ever be utilized? Are we getting mammoth's or Dodo's in a future DLC?

Today marks 1 year from Dagoths initial public release, and as of today, he is available on both Xbox and PlayStation.
Thank you all for sticking around, and playing with him! Ive loved watching everyone’s reactions to him along the way.
2.0 is not as far along as I’d like, on it when I can. I do intend to have an update for Dagoth out within the next couple months. But things are moving slow.
I hope you all are also looking forward to my next mod project for Starfield. I think you’ll love it just as much!
