That was a recent, new game. I was talking about Black Flag itself. And as @ANoobis pointed out this new game came out around the same time of this new Ubisoft price gouging trend.

I was speaking of the merits and potential of the game released back in 2013 (Good Lord has it really been that long?) not of the mess that was Skull and Bones.

The new Assassin’s Creed has the same pricing structure as Star Wars Outlaws. $70 for an incomplete product, $130 for everything that’s actually on the disc + the season pass.

@FeatherTrap
They tried that and made an over $100 piece of shit.

@Seiken
True though that may be, it is better than the alternative of either rampant anarchy or having the mods decide what is and is not okay.

@TrukkinDuck
Assistants take care of smaller items, duplicates, spam, and the occasional removal of the same 4-5 people that keep coming back to upload more spam. Moderation actions still have to be logged etc.

My eyes are screaming

Frankly i am of the opinion that the block function is one of the worst inventions there is. It lead to much of the problems we have on social media as people just bury themselves into echo chambers by blocking any and all opposing views instead of learning how to deal with them.

@Cyborg_pony
Biggest flaw with Black Flag is that they put the name “Ass Creed” on it. Just cut the Sass-cunt shit out entirely and create a new IP based on the sailing minigame and Ubisoft could have been raking in some dollars from the Pirates of the Caribbean fans salivating for a good fuckin’ pirate game.

The “muh birthrate” people want this exact scenario. They want poor people who can’t even support themselves to have lots of kids they can’t support because “who the hell are you not to have kids” says the lobster drug addict. That’s his best argument. No cap.

@TheBridge
The key to being seen as the stable guiding hand is to be quiet about removals—but keep a constant eagle eye for spam, etsy sellers, and public moderation complaints. Moderation discussions, even when posted in good faith, invite malingerers to revisit their preferred axe to grind. Etsy wannabes are a plague: the community actively likes some of them, but not treating them as spambots means the place is flooded with their ads.

Hell no, not at all

Member when I posted that link to Every Episode Of Generic Animated Sitcom™? Today I find the Daily Wire took it as a challenge and actually made a generic animated sitcom with no jokes called Mr. Birchum. It looks exactly the same as the 40 second parody only the animation is even shittier because it’s just flat colors where as the 40 second parody made by a single person has shading. It also has zero jokes. 80 seconds and there wasn’t a single joke. I kept waiting for it to be funny, but it’s boomercon tame “edginess” from 20 years ago that’s been done better by lots of people already dozens of times years ago. “Oh man, what if we made fun of a vegan? No one’s ever done that. What if we had an old woman say “penis”? No one’s ever done that.”

That’s literally the joke from the parody isn’t it? “What if a cartoon said “fart”?” Only they replaced “fart” with “penis”. “What if a cartoon said “penis”?” It’s not funny.
