I dont know. When I first heard about their game, I expected a neat pirate ship combat sandbox game, but instead it turned out to be a lame ass arcade shooter.

I dont recall seeing anyone happy about this, outside white knights on reddit.

It seems like there are a lot of niche game concepts and genres that are falling to the wayside as the major devs and publishers are more interested in dumbing things down for a larger, more casual (or in some cases more competitive audience). Hell Civ7 is sitting at mostly negative recent reviews after pulling that shit.

You're thinking of some different game, no idea what one tbh

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is definitely not an arcade shooter though

Taking their (or their parent's) money of course

> What does no one get about this?

Its all idiotic romanticisation. Thats why all the out-of-their-ass anecdotes involve someone who's more of an entrepreneur than a tradesmen as well.

Theres some bizzare analog of the noble savage myth, but applied to blue collar work.

> I don't see how we can blame them rather than ourselves for the educational and career system we've created

I dont know man, you do it every time.

Same except the massively productive days are getting rarer and rarer.

> the problem is that there are a huge number of students who don't know anything at all about how or why to learn.

How much of this has to do with the students being generally still immature. Had I gone to school at this time, I almost certainly would have felt this way, or some compatible way that diminished my effort.

Eh most of the jobs that will survive over time are already shit jobs. I cant wish too ill on people in those situations.

Academics are of no concern really. They aren't treated seriously, but I do care what management things. Even if they're blowhard retards with no idea what they're talking about, they're still calling the shots and still making the decisions

> "Engagement" is an evil metric.

You're dealing with evil people. Now watch them flood in to justify their evil.

Can't be asked to take pride in my work when I'm not allowed do, because we just need to ship ship ship without any thought or coordination.
