Yeh whatever.
Dude-āFascinated by the social, technological and economic changes that mean excellent, very useful strategy guides written lovingly by amateurs have been replaced by very bad ones written by gaming journalists. Has something like that ever happened before?ā
How have I been dragged into an argument over a non existent situation
Okay so itās not actually happenedā¦ Iām now actually struggling here.
So I could point you to personal experience of people no longer bothering even specific to the game industry but it aināt peer reviewed and itās subjective.
Sorry similar, genuinely think youāre over thinking this, after a while people stop producing stuff for free when the incentives dry up.
Pecuniary emulation, punching above your weight is what makes it pecuniary.
You asked why it may feel familiar š¤·itās never a perfect fit. I mean what youāre describing is pretty similar to the 00ās blogosphere.
I.e what once made us look like a member of the leisure class now looks like weāre suckers producing copy for freeš¤·
Iām not referring to that aspect, rather Pecuniary emulation.
