    Great convo, as always. the discussion about the employee ratings hit home. I have a friend that's a manager over a great team where everyone pulls their weight, and very talented individuals but my friend could not give them all high ratings (because of pay bonuses for high ratings) so she had to otherwise give someone lower points because the department head doesn't believe everyone can be rated highly (also because money ofc). It's crazy out here in the workforce.

    I remember Destiny killing my interest in new IPs and live service games years ago after that first season pass joke. Over time, this extended to older IPs now. Infinite has basically been the straw that's driving me to leave the ""gaming community"". It's lost. Dead. Time to exit. -hyper focused on competitive rather than fun -broken on release, never fully fixed even years later -new content is just stuff that should have dropped with the initial release -games are trying to steal as much time from you as possible through "progression systems" -microtrans customization always leads to making the game LOOK like a joke with dancing, poses, cat ears and other cringe So I agree, Infinite represents everything wrong in the industry. Video games could have grown to be much more but now it's just a dead end. It's sad.
