My mistake. I thought you were throwing a tantrum all over her replies but you have now displayed that that is not the case.

How many whiny comments are you gonna leave on this?
I've never read his work but this thread reveals his critics provide competent appraisals and his fans whine and throw a fit. That tells me a decent amount about him.

Why do you have such initmite knowledge of every man you know. Being familiar with the bathrooms of some of them, sure ok, but all of them? What's the deal with that?

Tbh referring to pepsi as soda is also psychotic behavior. It's more of a really ineffective cleaning fluid.

It also makes no sense if the challenge itself is the value.
You don't have to practice to experience the challenge. If you don't have the time or ability to get really good at the game, you reach the same level of challenge at a lower difficulty without practice.

You don't have to put in practice to listen to guitar. If you want to make a metaphor about consuming art you gotta be consistent. Doesn't make any sense.
Even if it did, disabled guitars, picks, learning frets, and tabs all exist and are legitimate, and do not damage artistic intregrity.

That's like giving people a personality screening before letting them look at certain paintings/movies/books etc.
"These people might enjoy it wrong if given the option" in no way maintains the artistic intent or integrity of any art form, and it is not believable that that is the actual concern.

The worry that a few people might play it wrong is not a legitimate artistic concern nor a reason to deny a roughly equal experience to people that actually need the lower difficulty setting.

I think the performance boost is more significant than the conveniance and always will be, and in games where it matters, you are always gonna want to aim for the best performance you can get.

That is... clearly a less than accurate portrayal of this conversarion and is definitely not in good faith, so I'm just gonna dip.

That's the practice of not giving credit, it happens in both types of development, and is shitty. But it is actually unrelated to whether you hired the creator directly or bought something they made. Yeah you should give credit and yeah many studios don't but what does it have to do with this?

You get to decide it is too much for you to buy it but that has no beaeing on if a dev is a lazy scammer based *soley* on using a certain number of assets. Now they might be both of those things for a numher of reasons. But the choice itself is not intrensically a scam.

No, I have never published a game myself and I am able to handle 100% of the coding when I do development, I have nothing to defend.
I just think it is a mistake to identify the choice as inherently "lazy or scammy", when it is usually neither.

The point is you can't decide a certain level is too much because it is all too situational, and the problems that arise are not a problem woth the method itself. Nor is the response, really.

I understand and have built simple engines before myself in college. The point is you make what you can with the resources you have, some genres has almost all "customer facing" mechanics already built, but are not scams. And many games take quite a bit of skill and resources most people don't have.
